#vss365 #prompt #saucer #poetry

if the universe had a sense of humour it would
stop, pause to put the kettle on,
a biscuit in a saucer, some milk before the cat
is let out of the bag,
a brief interlude of Chopin to brighten the day
and then resume the human game
laughing, not crying in despair

Bourbon biscuits with a cup of tea, as the universe decrees it.

Welcome, lovely writers 🌍🌎🌏

You've tweeted so many amazing stories and poems. So much talent out there 👏👏👏

Cats drink milk from them.
Aliens visit Earth in them.

I was once a black hole, waiting for you
to split like an atom, to rise into space
and burn forever in my fluid mind

yet, before noon, before teacups and china
we merged, and exploded into one

#vss365 #prompt #unearthly

as a child I wished to be a star
a comet, hurtling to nothing, to everything
being the wonder in another child’s eyes

and in this reality of pain, of fear
channeled from the mouths of angry
human beings, I yearn to be unearthly

free from the burden of being, human

#vss365 #prompt #beetle

scurrying along the dimension road
portal four, maybe five, a mystery tour,
like beetles in search of daylight imagination
drifting in and out of ports, asking questions
displaying the business-like manner
of something with so little to do
and so much time…
scratch that

#vss365 #prompt #verve

it’s a hot sticky mess, your eyes
clinging to hope and asking-
where have all the lights gone?
then, once you’ve succumbed to
the bed linen, say grace, and tumble
we make art and our verve creates
sunshine, pouring out into the void
