'Sorry, Gabe, but if you'd plugged your ears like I said, you wouldn't be under a #siren spell. And I wouldn't have to tie you up & pelt you with rotten eggs until you snap out of it.' 'Pixie! There is no siren.' 'Can't hear you, Gabe. Ears are plugged... eggs incoming!' #vss365

#vss365 He appeared as soon as she climbed off the stage. "How come I've never heard you sing?" She shrugged self-consciously. "You're incredible. I don't know why you'd hide that." "It used to embarrass someone." "Then he's a fool." His eyes had darkened. "You're a #siren, anyone would follow you."

She was startled by the unusual #siren. She hadn't heard this noise before. It felt like it was coming from inside her. Her heart beat faster. She wondered if she was ill. Then her boyfriend held her hand and everything went quiet. #vss365 #writing #stories

some say a siren call is music but with you it is a look I jumped overboard and swam your kiss drew the sanity from my body until madness became who I am being lost in my desire for you became logic and I knew every minute must be bent towards devotion you spread your legs and I crawl #vss365

“Thank you, Carol,” Lyn had said earlier. “I was *this* close to committing a #sin. But that hot tub has reignited my passion for John.” Now the splashes & giggles floating in from down the street made Carol wish she hadn’t intervened. She shuddered & closed the window. #vss365

Wildfire rumors, Blaring sirens, pounding drums. Fear took root in the dark shadows While the King hid in his lair. Fools bought the lie. The panic broke. A stampede crushed the downtrodden. Who counts the poor When the dust settles? ~rev #vss365

“Carol!” said the new neighbour, leaning suggestively against the fence. “If you’re after a new victim now Lyn’s off the cards, don’t look at me,” said Carol. He laughed. “I bet you were a #siren in your day.” Carol narrowed her eyes. “Oh, it is my day.” A distant siren wailed. #vss365

Vanquish the myth A false tale of sin Involving an ancient apple What nonsense! Only spineless sycophants Ring-kissing miscreants Accept the abuse And subjugation of women #vss365 #inkMine #OurPoetryX #poetsofbluesky #blueskypoets #PaintbyWords #EastCoastKin #poetrysky #writesky #ECK 🎨Magritte

Magritte painted it as a self-portrait.

The painting is of Magritte in an overcoat and a bowler hat standing in front of a low wall, beyond which are the sea and a cloudy sky.

Magritte’s face is almost obscured by a green apple. However, his eyes can be seen peeking over the edge of the apple.
