“To err is human; to forgive, divine.” ~Alexander Pope Okay, but shouldn't we strive for more of the sacred qualities that evade human mastery? I say we start with compassion, grace, patience, and truth. Your #vss365 #prompt for August 7, 2026 is #divine Feeling inspired? ✨

#vss365 #divine Her smile is #divine, But it's not hers, or mine. It's borrowed and designed, To pay back within time.

Where no land can be seen, the soul remembers what the mind forgets: the horizon is never an ending, only an invitation. Trust the #divine. 🌊✨ #vss365 (For those wondering, I'm literally in the middle of an ocean. 🌊 ) See you all in September 💕

I don’t understand, Sue said. Why is he acting so crazy? We’re not sure, Doctor King said. He’s been badly injured which could be a reason. At that, Tom screamed. The Divine, he shouted. I’m the #Divine. His piercing cry shot through Sue and she trembled #vss365

STAR-CROSS'D is a YA contemporary fantasy reimagining of ROMEO & JULIET which combines the romantic magic of DIVINE RIVALS with a GOSSIP GIRL world of wealth, paparazzi, and family obligations. #QuestPit #Q #YA #F

The gods of the game world were capricious, fickle and largely ambivalent to the woes of the people. Not so much #divine as disingenuous and duplicitous. Always up to games and tricks. Rory had dealt with more than a few of them in his time, some were fun, playful, others downright evil. #vss365

Black bird came early No divine words to still the upset dawn in my listening heart Yet it sang a song of wondrous beauty transporting me in time’s tranquil harmony Back to a distant dream when all was right in the world Beautiful. #vss365 #divine #poetry #writing #art #Kandinsky

The world spins and so fast, and changes colours, day to night Never stop loving me It’s meant to last Our hearts have found their resting place Connecting me, with you We face the test of passing time destined not to fail Life's unpredictable But your hand will forever hold mine #BluSkyPoetry

you lit the fire of love in my heart and left me alone in a forever midnight I call you through the poems I pen and plant flower trees in a gardening zen blossoms fill my garden and empty is my #fertile life #vss365 #bionicanadian

False promises spun to hide a past full of sins, slandering what once was pure, #divine. Lies were told for fortunes and for gold, a soul was bought, a soul was sold, and his ego grew bitter, cold. flames of change, spurned, came back to raise the fallen souls. ~rev #vss365

Hemming down my emotions, sliding into a dismissive being My mind stills, my soul, tranquil Do I aspire for more within this quiet grace? What is it that I yearn for the farmer in me needs #fertile land, yielding grain Deep inside I hear nothing but silence again ~rev #vss365

Molting I cradle this old fragile heart That still finds it necessary to break During these tender moments Where the love I feel outgrows it Letting the skin crumble away And in its place, delicate new skin That life will toughen once more #Poetry #WritingCommunity #PoetsOfBlueSky #PoetrySky

A man must learn to belong to himself.

I leave my books, few torn letters. Words held back written on notes crumpled and thrown under our bed. Scattered, half-written poems born of #chaos which kept my soul peaceful and strong. We shall meet again in a place far beyond prejudice and wrong. ~rev #vss365

This was supposed to be a #fertile area of the game world but, frankly, apart from a few sparse fields it looked little different to any other areas Rory could find throughout the game. A few more rats, of course. But, being a fantasy game, they were really, really big ones. Huge, in fact. #vss365

The car exploded just as two men dragged Tom clear. The bonnet flew up in the air, pirouetted twice, then plunged straight back down to earth puncturing the top of Sue’s jeep. 7 fire engines, 6 police cars and 5 ambulances all arrived with lights and sirens. It was #chaos #vss365

Caves and secrets waters too deep plunge us into sweet chaos Painful coincidence you do not know me but for an instant knew you were missing me Split apart two halves of one whole Water falls from my eyes and I wonder, where does it go? #vss365 #chaos #poetry #writing #art #FranzMarc #cubism

Sweet dreams, my darling despite our unravelling when two souls were one a photograph in your mind to look back upon with love. #TankaThursday #TankaPoem #photograph #micropoetry #tanka #writing #art #Vargas #SweetDreams

Prying eyes watch from the window A glimpse of curious strain A silent judge, his gaze is hard An observation of my secrets I'd rather keep Within these walls I'm safe and sound It's wasn't malice, or cruel intent Just human curious lent What draws their curious searching eyes ? #BluSkyPoetry

After the #chaos of the war, we were surprised to find one tree left standing amid the devastation. Hanging from its blackened bough was a single, enormous #fruit. None of us could identify it. Then, as we studied it, the pith split open and a plague of luminous spiders emerged. We ran. #vss365

The A5s were the first to give birth, weaned off the pain of the world, attuned to the beat of its dying heart. They were formed from the colors of #chaos. They were seeds of hope, planted beneath a leaden sky, barren of tears. Flowers rising from the bone dry earth. #vss365

Holding a parasol adorned with peacock feathers and pink lilies, I stand on a riverbank. The quiet dreamscape of the rippling river doesn't reflect the #chaos within me. I can't stop thinking of you and me, but I don't know how to take the first step toward you. #vss365 #bionicanadian

My poetry Dark, rich chocolate with fruit and nuts. My love crumbles like warm cookies, molten at the core. My humour is dry powder guns loaded, safety on. My style dignified, sturdy, Soul speaks through poetry. The smile says it all. ~rev #vss365 #fruit

Lit lanterns on the porch he sat in the courtyard admiring the brilliance through the wooden grooves. She smiled softly acknowledging his presence a chemistry of compassion. Clad in white she tended to a journey of penance while he yearned for her incandescent essence. ~rev #friendshipday #vss365

Fruit of my labour Freedom from chains of the past Smile without shadows #vss365 #fruit #haiku

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
