They saw her #tend the widow walk Upright in her duties She'd wipe away a daily tear And make sure the bastard was still out to sea #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

As a boy My boy was chosen To hold a story By the ancestors of others A page in #creation Now his to carry And share Long after the canoe wakes settle #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

So begin the 100 days of August. Retail remoras weather abuse as the tip jars fill. Chatting in long market lines of lack of lake parking, local teens eye Autumn's escape. Caravans off the ferry flow on narrow winding roads lifeblood of this island town. #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Drop something you're proud of. This is the last classroom I set up as a preschool teacher. Curtains went up later.

Rivals #arrive Kicking beehives Twirling those knives They skirmish and drive Away all who's alive So here I sit drinking Alone in this dive. #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Need a lift? Well, dear reader, time to check out TMiltons new guide: Hitchhiking fundamentals Or How to get them to tap the #brake An ill-advised primer in cross-country travel. Coming to a bookstore near you. #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Best part of living on an island Is knowing that any direction That strikes your fancy Leads on to the #coast. #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Caustic day Spends my patience Cracks at work Lousy drivers Bitter neighbors howling Little neighbor wailing Dogs join And the drink I drink to quick Burns sour #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

To the #summit Or To the shore Just Get yer ass on out the door. #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Cant dance to your #cadence So Ill be moving on Whats the point of lyrics If theres no rhythm to the song #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

I sent you a note Of my absence To say I took on your dare Rose up to the sky I did #ascend I can see your house from up here #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

#shift your weight Check your grip Slow deep breath Swing And a miss. Never was good at baseball. #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

#tailwind lifts me Far over the ocean Asparkle at dawn I soar and see The eyes of my father His love His pride I feel I could touch the sun #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Turn out the sheets Turn in for the evening Turn up the white noise Turn down the lights Turn off the day Turn on the dreams Turn around. Morning again #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Lost my #balance Fall to the ground Play down these troubled thoughts of mine Forget the time Remember Forget the time Remember its just today And we are only each other Ans we will get ourselves Through these days One of these days #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry #oldlyrics

#Sprint? Perhaps. (Really, I'd need training.) #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry #acrostic

Just a moment....um Im sure the words will come Need a sec to build some speed Give y'all some shit to read Undam the prose. It grows no slow low melancholic flows Only one foot, then the other Gather steam, no trot, gallop Accelerate til im done #momentum #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

And shall we fight the #headwind These storms of change that blow Or take shelter from the dark days and just go with the flow #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

We'd all best start Bolstering our hearts Lest love in these dark days #depart #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

I entered an armistice With my bad habits A truce has been signed With my doubts See I spent far too long Trying to #conquer my sins So now we just work it all out #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

#Patience and perseverance Made a bishop Of his reverence. ~ true sayings of my grandma #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

#unabashed They live love laugh While all around The prye grows higher Vampires bask Yelling what were whispers Ridiculous masks Hide real monsters Roaming reaping unabashed So stiffen lip Regain a grip They'll Gnaw and lash Fleeing the ship Be unabashed #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Its not so bad I say, stroking a tomato vine Dont get out much But my friends drop by, we're feeling fine True, I dont get asked out on any hot dates Guess my #magnetism Ain't animal, its vegetative #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Be wary who gets in your garden Some would steal your produce Upend your even rows Trample all your transplants Give blackspot to your #rose Be wary who gets in your garden Not everyone you see Is worthy of your treasures For them? Zucchini. #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry
