"So what is our next adventure?"I asked the King Vampire.
"It's not of this World,"he replied.
I tried to read the location from his mind, but he had it #bottled up tight.
"I'll tell you when we arrive.For now, you must trust and follow."
I bid Herman &the wolf farewell.

Standing at the river's edge, dress soaked through, I scrub the linen raw and trace the ghost of your hands on my skin. You used to linger, spellbound by the cobra coiled at my feet and the ornate coffin trailing its parade of devoted shadows.
You loved everything and nothing at all, drinking the dark and the light with the exact same thirst. How effortlessly you carved yourself in two, feeding her your devotion while saving your hunger for me. A master of duplicity, wrapping your promises in silk while your eyes betrayed us both—leaving me to wonder if you ever truly held anything real, or if you simply loved the mirrors.

Joe DiMaggio was an American baseball icon, but his service to our country deserves just as much recognition. 🇺🇸 He put his Hall of Fame career on hold to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II.
Today, we honor the Yankee Clipper and all who served.
Happy Veterans Day!
To live again, unbound by years, growing bolder yet softer.
Breakfast in bed, golden pancakes, hot coffee, sweet dates.
Longer rides, disco nights, more sunsets.
Bottles of wine in my cellar only grow finer with time.

I wish we could go back to when kids weren't expected to play a sport year round, or travel to tournaments every weekend or have to choose between club and high school sports.
But that's a genie which can't be put back in its #bottle.
Apparently.

Greetings everyone!
Today's word is Riz’s favourite shape, and something they say has an answer at its bottom. I can't wait to see what you create with it!
The #prompt for November 11th is #bottle
Have fun writing out there 🙂

His charm hid a #duplicity that only those closest to him understood. How many times had he needed forgiveness only to find a brand new way to lose a loved one's trust? Acquaintances adored him. Family loved him at a distance.

Imagine sending your coach out there to explain what you screwed up, like that. You don't have to imagine. Kids, I present to you Duke Tobin. Embarrassing.

Behind smiling masks
#Duplicity clouds the truth
Kindness speaks plainly
Like the last leaf that refuses to fall
Stand firm through changing winds
Stay true to yourself
Less pretence, more heart
Choose honesty over disguise
Simplicity is strength

What's amazing to me about Watergate is how all the #duplicity was avoidable if Richard Nixon had come out shortly after the break in and said...
"What a bunch of idiots. I've fired everyone I can now and there will be more later if necessary."
But that didn't happen.

Greetings everyone!
Riz thinks he's the king of today's word. Is he as smart as he thinks? That would be telling. I can't wait to see what you create with it!

for the sake of your twenty breaths
that birth capillary oscillations
you undulate your ocean conveyor
your hadalpelagic scotopic retina,
precision of your advection,
sensuality of your estuary,
oh virgin of the ocean
all about you
always finds a way
to become a sacred psalm

Where can we go with just one connecting #prompt line? Let's see how many different places we can discover from just one starting point!
Start your poem/vss with the opening line :

On this date 86 years ago, the "Armistice Day Blizzard" struck much of the Midwestern U.S., killing more than 150 as the storm produced heavy snow, very strong winds, and rapidly falling temperatures. Our friends @iowadnr have stories from survivors here: https://t.co/ZHtWAfkkZl
