New pen, new ink, let’s see what comes of divine intervention - of my own sinful mind… #vss365 #vssdaily #vssmagic
Handwritten poem in black ink on light paper.  
The text reads:
The original sin of man
The moment we fell from grace
was what?  
Did we rebel from our lords
or just describe our misfortune
as judgement from our creators  
The sequence of events
may never be understood
as we sit here alone

A few lines that might fit my current WIP… #VSS365 island #VSSDaily blur #VSSMagic rid #Emoetry vindictive
7.10.26
Setting sail for the island, the ocean went by in a blur. After the vindictive one had waged war against them, the rest had decided to meet every summer on the island - one just told to the core. 

Living for ages left many behind, yet some you couldn’t escape. No matter how you tried to get rid of them. 

The island though, was heaven. So lush compared to their villages on the mountains. A joyful escape for a few weeks each summer. As long as he didn’t find them…

Handwritten poem in blue ink on light paper.  
The text reads:
Deep within my mind
There's an island hard to reach  
To get there I must rid myself
of thoughts of strife
and thoughts of vengeance  
Though when only thoughts
of love and kindness
The island appears in a blur  
There my soul relaxes  
There my inner self exists

Handwritten poem in blue ink on paper.

Handwritten poem in blue ink on paper.  
The text reads:
If my funds weren't so low
I'd set sail around the world
explore all the sights
indulge in all the foods
enjoy all the snacks
Instead I'm sat here weary
Poor health, anxiety
Depression and guilt
over all that's left undone

A few lines to start the day, thoughts in a stormy mind! #VSS365 hurricane #VSSDaily portal #VSSMagic slick #Emoetry uneasy
Handwritten poem in dark blue ink on paper.  
The text reads:
There's an uneasy feeling growing
 inside of me
Like a slick and violent hurricane
 growing fast
If I could calm my nerves
 be normal, be safe
If I could portal like they can
 in fantasy realms
There's an uneasy feeling
 growing inside
Threatening to destroy me
 at least my sense of self

A glimpse at Malin’s life, a few centuries after her entrance to the mountain village… #VSS365 harbour #VSSDaily exercise #VSSMagic tame #Emoetry tormented
4.10.26
She had found her place here, among the villages on the mountain. Though tormented still from events in her old life - this new one felt almost tame in comparison. 

Each summer the tribes met by the sea, a harbour of a fashion she thought. The villages here had boats that moored along a natural rock that looked like a pier. 

Getting her was quite the exercise, getting back up was worse. She wondered if she could still travel by the shadows, the voice had been gone for hundreds of years now. The power unused.

Just a little diddi more If only I could change the world… #poetry #writingcommunity
Handwritten free verse poem in dark ink on paper.
The text reads:
In my deepest self
I wish that I
were more capable than I am
I'd change the world
make a better reality
where we all could live in peace
I know it's not, up to me
to feed and shelter all
but if I could I would do just that.
The world in my deepest self
is just and fair and free
but all would feel safe
all would feel secure
No one would be left behind

A morning type out of a lazy introverts life #VSS365 harbour #VSSDaily exercise #VSSMagic tame #Emoetry tormented
Handwritten poem in dark blue ink on off-white paper.  

The text reads:
If I were fitter I'd wager I would,
exercise on the harbour, on the
equipment down there.  

Instead I sit alone
tormented by what could've been,
a tame boring life for sure.  

In a different life, one with more…
…energy - more will power
I'd be down there, exercising.  

I'd be fit and social, with friends
galore, not a dull moment at all.
This life though, is nothing like that.

First rambling of the day! Good morning all #emoetry #repulsed
Some of us are repulsed by too much
Not all is dangerous or worthy
If you like something - within culture/law
Why should you not?
Still we all are repulsed by stuff
Things we just can't stand.
Foul smells, food waste, spiders and more
Perfectly natural to feel so.
Being repulsed by a wedding cake
Just because the couple are different.
Isn't all right in any way Love all, the book says.
but we forget, and thus get repulsed instead...

Just a little daydreaming before I’m off to pick up my sister to go see a film! I can keep my head in the clouds for that one! #vss365
Transcription
I wonder why
I wonder where
I wonder how as well
Why should I, yes really why?
Am I required to get my head out of the clouds?
It's so free up here no violence, no strife just freedom to be alone
Why should I accept defeat and live amongst you all?
It's free up here, so let me be I promise not to judge!

Not a poem, just a rant. #gaylife
Growing up in an age when being gay was considered a death sentence.
It is disheartening to see how so many nations are regressing to treating us as unnatural, that we shouldn't exist.
What happened to the bright future
what happened to us? why are we back to judging each other instead to love everyone as we are?

In today’s snipped, Malin finally finds the people she saught. #VSS365 cloud #VSSDaily tavern #VSSMagic six #Emoetry pleased
01.10.26 

Looking out over the cliff, she saw clouds below her. She hadn’t realised how far up these villages was! The buildings here wasn’t like where she was from, no taverns or shops to be seen. 

Still she hadn’t seen anyone, but she thought she was nearing the central shelf where in the dream she had seen six channelers, they must be here somewhere. 

Rounding a corner she saw them. About fifty villagers was stood in a half circle, facing her. Strangely they seemed pleased to see her. 

Well, time to introduce myself.

A whimsical piece as I get ready to work, though sniffly with this persistent cold! #vss365 #vssdaily #emoetry #vssmagic
Stormy clouds above us a windswept tavern I see Six patrons loiter outside looking pleased with new prey
I was only seeking refuge from the stormy clouds above The patrons let me through then close the door behind me
The tavern is not as I thought colourful tapestries and flowers
The patrons dressed in boas
Have I entered into Oz?

Reading news is depressing. Is this really who we are? #vss365 #emoetry
By some creators bequest
I'm led to believe that this world
- a world we continuously destroy is meant for our existence.
I find myself offended.
offended by all the hatred I see
This constant search for vengeance to treat "others" as worthless dirt
What happened to the golden rule? to treat eachother as we wish to be treated.
Do we all wish eachother ill?

Difficult prompts today, lol:) #VSS365 bequest #VSSMagic squirm #Emoetry offended
30.09.26 

As she continued along the path, Malin thought of the life she had left behind. She had left a bequest to the town she had resided in, if they ever decided to go to her cottage. Hopefully they would survive the dark age to come with the knowledge left behind in her old home. She still has most of it in her memory anyway.

The path led her to what seemed like residential tents, but nobody was to be seen around them. She hoped that her arrival hadn’t offended them, that they would give her a chance.

Watching people take their orders, on film or in parties baffles me. An introverts take on such things using the prompts from #vssdaily, #empetry and #vssmagic as I sip a morning tea to soothe my raspy throat! #poetry #ramblingsofalunatic
Party drinks (30.09.26)

The man in the movie asks
"Martini, shaken - not stirred" and I'm left to wonder
- what good does shaking do?

I hope you won't be offended by my lack of knowledge
I've just never been a drinker
- just haven't had the desire.

Parties make me squirm
It's never been my scene
Too loud, to noisy
- not my scene at all

#vss365 reprieve My last scribble of the day May the universe make us a better species tomorrow Good night to all
When one considers
the reality of human behaviour one can not at all conceive of a species more cruel.
Engaging in meaningless wars focusing on differences instead of what connects
I fear there is no reprieve our species is lost.
unless we start living in tune with the universe

Loneliness
gnaws at my soul
The desire for companionship is ever growing.
yet, as the years pass
is it at all possible to share a life?
locked in my routines my life so set.
will ever anyone fit in?

Today’s micro scene:) #VSS365 reprieve #VSSDaily bark #VSSMagic plain #Emoetry nit-picky
29.09.26

Malin felt like a reprieve had finally come.  Even as she made her way to the village, it seemed further than in the dream, she sensed nothing that wanted to harm her here. The trees were plain and thin here, their bark like skin stretched around them. 

She hoped the village would become welcoming to her, not that she had any reason to be nit-picky about anything she found here. She had willingly left the old world behind after all, and could return if things got too bad.

#vss365 and #emoetry Another doodle, about life, the universe and everything! I’m allowed a few weeks longer, so long as I’m 42, no?
Life (29.09.26)
The world is ruthless no reprieve can be found
Each day will happen, at least until they don't.
Perspective is important only that can impact your day.
No need to be nit-picky
Each day will still happen no matter what, so long as you are alive.
After that, no worries.
It matters not for right now.

Waking up with a cold seemed like a good start for an emoetry poem, as I sniffle my way to work. Might only do a quarter day though. Just need to show my face after two weeks off! #emoetry #nit-picky
The Cold
Waking up with a cold - Don't want to be
- A shower will clear it up! a cup of tea will deal with the rest No need for my colleagues to be nit-picky
- Really, I'm hardly ill at all!
The headaches are getting worse, my throat tight - it's difficult to swallow
"I'm ok! I'm really not sick" I say as I succumb to a violent coughing fit
- Maybe I'm ill after all.
