#vss365 #Threshold #Poetry #Poet I believe in equal rights, so on the day I was wed? I let my wife carry me over the threshold instead.

Here we are, almost the solstice and a full moon, too, the fox-girl said. And the threshold of a new year, said the Librarian. Shall we celebrate the moon or the sun? Both! cried the baby badgers #vss365 #threshold

I crossed the #threshold, I didn't have anything to say, nothing you'd believe anyway, a game—one you taught me to play I learned to lie, steal, & cheat, to move like a damn shadow, to flee  dry winds whispered death’s decree, the Devil grinned at what you made me. #vss365

On the threshold of something great - the precipice of something enduring - if only I have the courage to stand - the courage to stand - to hold my ground - just a little bit longer - just a little bit longer I will. #vss365

Her gift, the ability to walk worlds, came with a price. Each #threshold she crossed, each door she entered, took something with them: a piece of her memory. Too many, and she would have to rebuild her entire identify. It was worth it, to see the blossoming of creation. #vss365

Folks think contract hitters need to be action heroes. Nah, what you need is a high #threshold for boredom. Any asshole can get into a gun fight, but how many can sit in a public bathroom stall for eight hours waiting for the only time your mark will leave his bodyguards? #vss365

#vss365 Lis & Jay & Fred stared at the blue shimmer. ‘Is it a #threshold to a parallel universe?‘ Lis asked. Fred shrugged. ‘Who knows?’ The shimmer sucked him through. ‘He knows now,’ said Jay.

The storm came knocking its hands cold on the #threshold I opened, hoping— but it was only the wind wearing your voice. #vss365 #FromOneLine #poem

there, in a twilight forest glade beside the chortling stream there, at the threshold of what is seen and unseen there, half hidden in the gloaming transfixed in wonder I stare enveloped scent of fresh rain, I breathe her sanctified air —I knew they were real! her horn glowing

Please don't keep me In this #monochrome case. The #challenge Would not be to grieve you, but to grieve you without ever having known you. #vss365

It's a miracle Of things unsaid, Held within Your small half-smile. Secrets #glisten At the corners Of your eyes, And I am basking in The light of them. #vss365

I was happy to be the #fool; #Cloak draped at the edge of the #rabbit_hole, I jumped— Naked, Falling Heart-first. At least, worst case, I thought it would be quick. But no— Caught In a #crisscross of beautiful words That may, or may not, Have been laid for me, I am nothing but

"A stitch in time saves nine," But, seamstress though I am, I like instead the holes- I let them spread and Watch them grow, And then, last minute, pull a thread tight- Try to catch the sunlight In the #pucker of the fabric And then tuck it, Safe in stitches. Thread well spent.

ChatGPT just made me giggle coyly with a '(pun intended)' adjunct to its suggestion.

And, though the lack may #needle at me, I cannot awaken the words #vss365

I'm your #vss365 host from February 1-14 (my first time, so be gentle with me!) Daily prompts at 6AM (GMT) will be words from my Work-In-Progress – I’d love to see what others can do with them. And many thanks to Rachel for her inspirational job as host. Well done, Rachel!

Oh, my love, if you could see all the realities I #conjure...they would be your sweet and wicked reckoning for all the times you took my breath away. #vss365

You Enter Secretly In every affirmation

Sometimes when I see people running in the street I feel the urge to cheer for them but I worry they'd think I'm being sarcastic and also my manual override is way too strong to permit such an act of disinhibition
