#vss365 Give me your best #chaos All your mismatched colours Even your off-key melodies Add in your second-guesses Throw-in some near misses I promise I'll cherish every single one As part of growth Not as mistakes Never as crime

I think of you in sunshine. The chaos of the wind. I remember you in laughter. In softly falling rain. You are the salty tears. You come to me in darkness. Take away my breath. I hear you in the stillness As you softly call my name. But mostly you are sorrow. The face of all my pain #vss365 #poem

I think of you in sunshine.
The chaos of the wind. 
I remember you in laughter.
In softly falling rain. 
You are the salty tears.
You come to me in darkness.
Take away my breath.
I hear you in the stillness
As you softly call my name. 
But mostly you are sorrow.
The face of all my pain.

Rory checked his inventory for the #fruit of the pickings he had garnered from the utterly defeated, but soon to respawn, cavern boss and he was sorely disappointed. Nothing of great value. No decent amount of coin, and the experience given was pitiful. He’d wasted a good ten minutes on it. #vss365

In the attendant #chaos of the fracas with the world boss, several characters died, winked out of existence and soon came scurrying back, but Rory was smarter than that. He used Esme’s skills from a distance, providing aid and succour to those afflicted with stupidity to get too close. #vss365

Lucky it was only a drill, but there were times like this and this was why they needed drills. Dylan had ordered several, at random moments, but, for some reason, this one descended into #chaos. And that was the point. Find the problems and fix them before they became real problems. #vss365

Father, Pre painted, Chaos’s birth In Da Vinci Design Chaos, At two He threw in The evolution Of Planets Instead of Tossing his Mother’s Shooting stars Chaos, As he sits, Between Man’s destruction And The hands of the Woman’s salvation Kneeling, Defeated in her creation #vss365

The symbolism behind The snake, hiding in the Long grass among fruit trees Of Eden Is life is to be confronted and contended with. You sacrifice yourself To the greater good, It’s theme runs through the Abraham story, when God outcasts Abraham from his fathers House To venture forth #vss365

Lily, Had no brakes When she played Under Crow’s wings Into the river, Up the highest Of the Landican’s trees She’d climb Higher than Owl She stole Dry Otters River stones She’d skim The pebbles In tosses of Perfect, bouncing Trebles Her summer of grief Her best summer For mischief #vss365

At the band stand No music, No merry tones Just the crowds laughter To the stand in clown And His drowning, For that comes after His nose Bland A trumpet Echoes for The curtain To finally come down They appauled To the silence Returning to the Music of The band stand #poetry Sad clown by C Monnin

With Macaw ears And ginger beard They listened to Tinker boy’s Reason for treason Captain stares Blink, if you dare He shares He declares to the crew, “Terrible reasons Not enough treason Not enough blood Nor gold to its season The plank What do you think Arty Sparky? It’s only fair” #poetry
