And in this Broken world Where the moon Still rises in splendour, And badgers burrow Amongst the Russet and amber #Bequest Of fallen leaves, Summer's ghost Finally falls To slumber, A faint, Barely audible Whisper carried On the breeze. #VSS365 #Writing #Poetry

A sealed blister-card package of ten stainless-steel multi-purpose knives arranged vertically, photographed on a dark wood-grain surface. The knives have long, narrow silver blades and colorful plastic handles in green, red, yellow, cream, green, red, yellow, cream, green, and green, from left to right. The pale green cardboard backing is labeled “fuxwell®,” “Stainless Steel Multi Purpose Knives,” “Made in Germany – Dishwasher Safe,” and “Registered Trademark,” with additional small manufacturing text along the bottom. The packaging is slightly worn and creased, with clear plastic covering the knives.

Gardens -yet another V.Long #poem by~MischaS💞✍️for #BraveWrite #Azalea This is so #FreeForm as to be absurdly so: Its rhythm & rhymes “all over the place,” as many might say. Still, I’m deeply grateful for Any & Everyone who takes the time to read it🙏~M💞 #poetry #Emoetry #writingcommunity #LovePoetry

Gardens

‘Twas April - banks of bright Azaleas'
Cascading roseate blooms
A coverlet of colourful flowers
Spilt down to the gardens' floor...

Your hand in mine, We paused upon the dark stone
terraced stairs, gazing in wonder,
Breathing in Spring's hopeful, perfumed air...
That morning all around us swelled with Promise, newly grown...
We revelled in the Present, our Future yet unknown...

We strolled the mansion's sprawling gardens, just we two alone,
Mindful we'd paid for the privilege of wandering...
If only for a few hours...on an April morn:
Such grand and glorious places we could never hope to own...

Then, as we reached a Sun-tipped glade,
I pulled you close for a kiss...
Beneath an ancient oak's green shade
At last I knew true bliss.
Between the sweetness of your lips,
Azaleas' blush upon your face,
And all We realised at once with that warm embrace,
Suddenly, I thought myself the richest man on Earth,
What we shared that day I knew was beyond all measureable worth...

Now, as years of changing seasons have since flown
In with'ring days, I find myself thinking back to that time and place...
I gaze upon you sleeping, Azaleas' bloom still on your face,
In your sighs I hear the breath of Springs' once promised past...
Though our abode is humble, I count myself most blest:
For Love's garden blossomed richly; rooted in our Hearts, it lasts...
© ~Mischa Sarcassian💞 30 September 2026

Photo - not our own & We are sorry we do not know its attribution - of the terraced staircase at Winterthur Gardens, Delaware. Here Azaleas of a deep rose hue cover the hillside beside the staircase on the left. More Azaleas of white and light purple are blooming below, as are many other flowers & shrubs. There is a small footbridge which (then, at least ) crossed a Koi pond, we think. At the top of it all, though, is the mansion/museum of Winterthur, the centre of a vast estate and endless acres of various gardens. It was built/founded by the very wealthy DuPont family (as in DuPont chemicals/tires?) We visited Winterthur Gardens more than once, both times it was very beautiful, though that was decades ago & we know all has changed a great deal in the decades since. It is costly to visit, but at the right time of year, it can be a magical and beautiful place, divided into several gardens, woodlands & areas designed to appeal to just about anyone’s tastes, from lush places like this to the Reflecting Pool which is below where these steps lead; and gardens specifically for children to play in and explore. -tam💞

Palicourea elata #poetry #vss365 #bequest It was too long so I cut it into two screenshots

Palicourea elata

On Wednesdays we wear pink
or orange, as it's the new black, I can't recall
she pondered trying to make the revolution
fashionable and repostable

When a boy mantis likes a girl mantis
very much, he will bequest a courtship dance
& as they are mating, she will rip his head off
causing vigorous efficiency

We should bring back copulatory suicide
relayed to her husband, whose smile worried
after learning Yuka Takaoka via crime podcast
and watching Lizzie Borden on Netflix

Diminishing returns in visual fidelity
as I think about Lara Croft's pixel assets
then about Hellen Keller and Frida Kahlo
and last night's call with Patient Zer0

Anger is a valid response to millenia
of systemic abuse, minimized into aggressive
pellets of micro-plastics, taking Cornell notes
on essays about Proserpina's rape

Is this man going to hurt me?
Do I deserve it if i anticipate and predict it?
What if the blueprint for eutopia resides within
a woman who was safe as a girl?

I anticipate the male gaze's sigh
this isn't poetry, it doesn't even rhyme
when I've touched my clit, then wept for
mutilated and trafficked children

No that'll never work, it's too long
and where's the part about stroking a man's
ego— moaning God, fuck your patriarchy!
a trillion is $1,000,000,000,000.00

unexpected snow began to fall

I decided to write for #HappyGoose #SomethingEveryday today. And in my own #Sonnet form too, trying out different placements of that third refrain. #Quonnet #MeyersoneanSonnet #Goose

The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
Reflected in the waters of the lake
Would cause even the toughest beast to quake
As comes the armoured fowl, Aspartagoose

With leafy spear tucked beneath its wing,
(A stalk of iron hard asparagus)
The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
Will serve as all its victims' last warning

So should that ever fall into your sight,
The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
You ought to run, or else prepare to loose
At least a dozen fingers in the fight.

The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
As comes the armoured fowl, Aspartagoose.
