[Flame of Firedrake @FiredrakeFervid]

The king
Has become
The jester
Upon his throne
He sits
Sorrow of death
About him

He awaits
His daughter's return
But time
Ticks on
And
Night has
Brought more snow
Cruel wind
Freezing hard

He daren't
Look
Beyond his toes
As before him lay
Those that
Once were thought
As friends

[Sarika Jaswani @NightingaleNote]

Deep in belly of woods fleet'g time is tamed to slug
Resin tells tales of coon's age

Leaves,snitch on songbirds
of how they stole season from the moon

Stillness listens
timber tattles
Below an Oak-Burl beast bloats-nose red as #joker
Waits to share jokes
only to my ears

‘Lose weight right now!’ the ad says. What a #joker! Still, I can’t resist.
‘Come in,’ she says. What’s her dog chewing?
‘How much do you wanna lose?’
‘A stone.’ Wait, is that a human leg?
‘If we #chop off your head, that’ll do it. Stand still.’
The dog drools. #vss365 #vssmurder

[DeRicki Johnson @derickijohnson]

Tall gaunt figure
Beckons me
Dressed in black cloak
& cowl

Think I might
Be facing Death
As I #whiff
Odor foul

UR WARRANTY’S EXPIRED
AN EXTENSION U MUST SEEK

But I don’t even
Own a car—
My laugh comes out
A squeak

It’s obvious
I angered him
As his scythe
He unsheaths

[Wildflower @Wildflower2107]

That
Whiff of fresh air
On a midsummer day
When eyes sparkled again
It has been a long time ~
An arduous journey
Laced with a mirage
She crawled
She lost her tears
Her silence was mistaken,
But the new dawn met her,
And she glowed
To wear her dreams again

[𝘼𝙨𝙝𝙖 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙝𝙖𝙣 @AshaChauhanT]

On this festival of colours
I make sincere effort

Catch a whiff of #love
Hold on to faith
Douse the flame of regrets

Burying obsidian sorrows
Forgetting enemity fill hues
Of Love and compassion

Life sweet nectar
Wish to drink sip by sip

[T W Jacobs is writing weird stuff again @TWJacobs1]

She was the queen of hearts
Worshipped by scores but
Hounded by loneliness
Isolated with the truth
He reigned as the king of diamonds
Envied by all but
His creditors kept score
Tallying the truth
The #joker was
Laughed at by many but
Laughed hardest
Happy with the truth

#vss365
Mama's in the kitchen, up early or hasn't gone to bed. #Whiffs of cigarette smoke signal her mood. Long calming drags exhaled into plumes of distress. The can of condensed milk she stirs into her coffee is almost empty.

Quiely I turn, go back to bed.
Leave her alone.

[Natasha Geraldine 💖🇺🇦💖✨ @NatashGeraldine]

Oh
how
your
fingers
reach the
darkest parts
of me
Mud rain
turns
honey’d gold

A long evening walk,
whiff of lavender drifts past
subtle signs of Spring

BrKn.

What bird is that singing so cheerfully, said the fox-girl. What joker is the blue sky above the ruins?

[𝐀𝐥𝐢's 𝐏𝐨𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 @AliOlsenPoetry]

some say
the wind
carries
idle words,
crocodile tears,
and coyote's
yipping—
not to be
tricked
by the
#whiff of
evening primrose
or casa blanca
lily, the
truth is
the wind
carries
secrets
and dreams,
pollen and
seeds, and
can knock
over a
thousand
year old
tree

[Gary @floodland08]

Time's no #joker
wielding life
From sunrise
to darkest nights

It plays slow
with horsehair bow
Emotive tune
through my window

Meadows smile
as flowers bloom
Showing me
variations loom

Edge of madness
is not for me
I'll find solace
in some poetry

#vss365 #PoetryLovers

[DeRicki Johnson @derickijohnson]

Grief’s one long cold sentence
Pain, it’s punctuation point

Your loss a hole in my heart
An aching in my joints

I take a breath for a #whiff
Of joy my soul so wants

The scent sincere
As longing nears
And shimmers
As it taunts

#FromOneLine #vss365

On the edge of my sanity
Where velvet dusk haunts me
In perpetual game of hide&seek
Where steam whistle rain
Hoots at my jaded whimsy
Where d mirrored sweep of stars
Reflects my abiding agony

There I dangle

A faint #whiff
Of soggy regret
hovering over me

[Mirai 🌷is querying🌷 @AmellMirai]

Secrets scribbled on the skies
For no one
But our eyes

Where we sway in a #whiff of stars
Catching music
in the drops of rain

We make memories in dreams and regrets
For no one
But our lives

Kiss me slow
Let me burn
I’ll be your summer
In the winter’s night

[Wendy Aldwyn @artist_wen]

Big hound on 30-ft-lead
One whiff of rabbit and
He's flying me like a kite then
I crash to earth
Ribs meet fist
Pulling back on the lead
I feel my ribs draw in and lock
I lie there for a few moments
Clouds recharge overhead
I could be underground right now
This could be it
1/2

[Asha Ozraアシャ-オズラ♥️🌿🌹🍀 @Orphe66519101]

She waited all night long,
For the rain to soak the earth,
In her white palm a handful,
Of #mud she then gathered,
And moulded into a nightingale,
A magical bird that chirped,
The same melody every night,
To weave scented dreams,
Behind her closed lids…

#vss365

[Steph @StephiSimone]

I'm in a garden surrounded by rainbow coloured flowers.

A luminescent butterfly lands in my palm.

I follow the scent of fresh #mud to a river with diamonds on its bank.

The wind repeatedly whispers a word - coma.

I ignore it. I love it here and I'm staying.
