I am the bolt
Of lightening
Striking jolt
So frightening

I am the you
#Undertone of me
‘Tis true
Time to set free

I am the light
No longer there
Be brave & write to fight
Soar Freebird from shame’s lair

I am the We
One voice
To be
Or not to be

#Undertones drift
wind chimes hum
old songs bloom
in stormy hues

Shifting sands
dunes rise & fall
angels’ tears
as dew drops call

In the garden
flowers breathe
as
kettle brews
frothy fumes

out at sea
boats sway
tied to the moor
raging waves
weave ocean views

His smile was inviting, his face bright & his voice captivating, but she felt the undertone frightening. She'd heard rumors of werewolves in the village. Just arriving, she had dismissed the lore. But when the full moon rose, he began to morph & growl, so she ran. #horror #vss365

When sadness showers down
Made from artificial
Silly people clouds
There naught be
An umbrella
Or a #raincoat
Big enough
To cover
Ones heart
From welling up
And sinking
Like a boat
With a broken hull

You ain’t gonna
Need a #raincoat
For the tears
We shed for ICE

Cuz I guarantee
Won’t be one drop
When we protest
Tonight

Hope these poop stains
Ain’t gone get paid
During
Government shutdown

Cuz one air traffic
Controller
Is worth more
Than ALL these clowns

🚨 Do ICE have MRE provisions? Oh, no. That’s a damn shame. All that income and no place to buy a meal. Hey, I know what they can eat… 1/2

The griefer wore a long coat, like a #raincoat, on his character, trying to look like something modern in the fantasy world, but it just looked dumb. He walked around, text bubbles appearing over his head, insulting everyone.

Some responded, insulting him back, but Rory walked away.

The weather on Hera could turn in an instant, one of those worlds where terraforming hadn’t worked quite as well.

Dylan tugged the #raincoat tight as he entered the seedy bar, searching for one man. If Dylan could get him on their side, they might stand a chance.

He found him. Passed out.

#vss365 #raincoat

door flies open
and you stare
face paler than mine
looks worse than it is
half-coated in blood
a volcanic mound on my forehead
I earned an eye-patch, playing war
stones not bullets
in the trenches, in the woods nearby
my yellow slicker now two-tone

I went from a lefty to a righty

We head into the final few stops on our musical mystery tour, it's day 11 just 4 more days to enjoy (or endure 🤣)

Today's inspiration is from post-punk pioneers who served up the wonderful Odyshape LP, today's #vss365 #prompt 11/10/25 is #raincoat

What's your favourite album?

War season pollen.
Not transgression; it just flows

The cutest sight the townsfolk could see
Came on days when it was gray, rainy
Brightened up by
Toddlers march by
In their vibrant raincoats so shiny

Life's not easy. Nothing is for certain, but she braved the trials & tribulations of her being with an accepted air of positivity. Some days were like riding a bull in a rodeo, but she held the rope & stayed on no matter how she was tossed. #BraveWrite

He unclipped the buckles on his bloodied raincoat, peeled it off & hung it on a peg in the mudroom. He propped his axe up in the corner & pulled off his galoshes. His descent into madness began weeks ago & he was confused. He'd killed another neighbor tonight. #vss365 #Satsplat

He watched the dandy libertine gracefully move carefree about the ball. A man who'd defiled his sister. He could smell the miasma of the moralless man. The retched, foggy odor, not real, but filling his senses. He'd wait outside for the lothario & disembowel him. #horror #vss365

The thing about the game, one of the many things Rory loved about it, was that characters could be practically anything. The brooding warrior. The flamboyant mage. The exquisitely dressed #libertine. Even as monsters.

There were very few limitations. And he had Kluhm dressed as a sorcerer.
