I will tend to the garden and it will tend to my soul seeding flora and feeding reaping in peace overflow Fingers and heart now in motion mind set blissful at ease Joy found not in a bauble as in roses, tomatoes and peas #vss365 #tend #poetry 🖼️ Wynn Yarrow

Wind-stirred leaf lifts a dance Crisp packet goes higher Excitement entrances airflow A bin lid skips clamour down a street The tree missing a leaf bows and bounces Missed by a set of red roof tiles Flying by Chaos swirls gyroscope and all fall down Ruffled feathers, beak soothed, end a day #vss365

Adam: All that fuss for a #fruit! Eve (eye roll): I know! I didn’t even get a proper bite. Then you just had to copy me and lead us right into #chaos, didn’t you? Adam: #Nonsense! I have my own mind. #vss365 #inkmine #Oulens #writingcommunity #randomthoughts

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

Groj had fallen in love, but no #literature could help him court a human. Finger bones shaped as a heart, and rotting flowers weren't part of their ritual. He professed his deepest emotions, whispered sickly sweet words while she slept, but her eyes snapped open in fear. #vss365

I have borrowed words from you when mine dried up. I have leant into your chest when mine was squeezed tight shut. Now I bring you flowers to ease the hurt and say words so you may escape the searing of knowing them. It is all I have to offer. #fromoneline

Soft body longing to emerge Burrows deeper The soil too baked To risk metamorphosis #2wordprompt

The fruit of my labour Rotting where it fell The heart of my life Drying up and in a heap A world of tinder Without a fire Of passion End game #vss365

“Enough of tending your life in metaphors,” my page snarled. “You need to go outdoors, buzz your bees, pour like cold coffee, stop composting similes, rotate your Mondays…” “Yes, yes, I get it. I’m gonna dazzle the stone in my heart into sand.” #Oulens #vss365 #tend #inkmine #2WordPrompt

you've entered into my life like an ethereal maelstrom creating chaotic and confusing emotions that #tend to cause unpredictable actions though my world has turned upside down I'd choose these crashing waves over a thousand stagnant oceans #vss365 #bionicanadian

Kindness contorts in strange tendencies Fighting hate in extremes Malice tends to snigger Tend to creation All will fall Hands stretch out to hold Bees and birds sip at mini lakes Knee deep in water, trees are planted Kindness creates a new world Respecting home, never fails #vss365

WE #TEND 2 DISAGREE You’re playing the violin While the world eats pork scratchings. They’re not even listening, mate, Just scrolling into a ditch Of their own heavy trauma. Everyone is full of holes, Some wide and almost pretty, Others bone-deep With teeth in the walls. #vss365

another morning to tend to the chicory and the goldfinches flitting in thick August air nothing more #vss365 #tend

Bees struggle in this weather 🥵 We find a lot of bees running out of fuel when perched on our sunflowers Use a water bottle & fine spray the flowers, fruit, seeds (what ever stage they are at) close to the bee, & they will hoover them up & regain strength

Itty. Bitty. Babies.

The Southern Three-Banded Armadillo (Tolypeutes matacus) is one of the only armadillo species capable of rolling into a completely sealed sphere: #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFu...

Rory caught the sorcerer in the middle of his #creation of more of his strange, twisted monster army. This was a critical moment. A moment of clarity. Of purpose and will. Spoiled completely by the insertion of a cut-scene that showed the sorcerer monologuing to himself in his madness. #vss365

Finding a Sallow Kitten NFY in my trap this morning was a purr-fect way to start the day. It's only the second I've ever seen. A Straw Underwing was also new for the year. #teammoth

Regardless of whether the ride is long or short, difficult or easy, windy or calm, inevitably I return back home. One final deep breath and life seems a bit easier. This ride has been simply amazing! Thanks to you all! The #vss365 #prompt for July 31, 2026 is #arrive. 🚴‍♂️🙌🙏

The full moon pierced the heavy veil of fog that night had draped across the city, casting its glow across the docks. Nobody had seen the ship #arrive, but with the mast bathed in silver light, it's skull and cross boned flag dominated the skyline. #vss365 (pt 1) #fantasy #amwriting #pirate

flowers speak aching for the warmth a velvet veil a balmy sway never to compare themselves to the roses or to the sunflowers as all bloom tall and bright even in a troubled world #FlowersOnFriday #FreshFlowers

one bright line defines my dreams, and dignity the freedom of fences #♡ᝰ.🖋️ #haiku #poetrysky #poetry #poem #blueskypoets #micropoetry

I want wetlands that protect communities from floods instead of being paved over. I want whales in healthy oceans, old-growth trees that outlive us, and night skies where the stars are brighter than the city lights.
