Catching up…

A few more prose prompts…with a hint of poetry.

 

‘I recall #biology as being less invasive.’
‘We learn your human form.’
‘There are books, videos!’
‘Don’t get the same immersion.’
#vss365

 

Like an #intruder doubt sneaked along corridors of thoughts, rummaged in memory drawers, left sickly hints of its presence in hopes #vss365

 

What can I inspire they haven’t dreamt? What can I touch they haven’t ruined? Earned or not, I’ll take it: Earth has better views #nHorror

 

Greedy become fat
The careful are overwhelmed
A plethora trap

#hangtenstories

 

Couldn’t stay…the #ghost of the one you need haunted us. #vss365

 

You rescue me, seeing what I struggle to ask for #hangtenstories #WhenIAmDown #BellLetsTalk

 

The saprophytic mould covers all in grey suffocating fibres, and all we can do is watch as life is draining from the world #horrorprompt

 

Ever watchful eyes
In heads full of prejuduce
Unfair interest
#hangtenstories

 

Like a #sonic boom
Ears ringing from your presence
Quiet as you are
#VSS365

 

Everyday’s a chance
A dubious tombola
Playing is to live

#hangtenstories

 

You amaze me: how deep you’ll delve to find me #hangtenstories

 

Here are my #ashes
Swept aside
To where the trash is
Crudely piled
But you can’t dispel
Residue
And you can tell
I’m still with you
#vss365

 

‘How’s it remained undetected?’
‘We hid it.’
‘This?!’
‘To refute we’re a side-project gone wrong: yes, and call it Creation.’
#horrorprompt

 

Synopsis offered
Sufficient for the shallow
More to your story

#hangtenstories

 

The TV #series ended, and viewers roil like restless oceans, waiting on its return: tidal surges or box-set tsunamis #vss365

 

Zone in on target, employ all workable strategies….secure kiss
#hangtenstories

 

Key to happiness
Unlock your sense of purpose
Essential living

#hangtenstories

 

Enticing #pride
A glory ride
Go too fast
All is passed
Can’t stick a turn
Crash and burn
Measure pride
A humble stride

Safe travels
#vss365

 

Take more than you need
Is considered #greed
But beg for your due
Is seen as that too
Surely there is sense
In fair recompense

#vss365

 

Our shindig left gouges. Rest contentedly now: six feet deep
#hangtenstories

 

A smattering
Of splattering
Red droplets
On coverlets
Hear giggling
Quilt wriggling
Kid’s alright
But what’s right
Behind you
#horrorprompt

 

The #lust you feel is but a fleeting thing, like the dissipating smoke of a delightful dream…so make sure you sleep often #vss365

 

These rivers of tears, feeding depthless oceans kissing eroding shores

#hangtenstories

 

Mistook a friendly smile; as it grew, so did teeth.

#hangtenstories

 

‘Waste not, want not, boy.’
‘I wasn’t done.’
‘So it wasn’t wasted.’
The boy frowned, then smiled; #Gluttony made them soft and slow.
#vss365

 

Well done on your non-fiction book: End of a Killer. A good read, but with a few salient presumptions. Turn around and we’ll talk #nHorror

 

Strange and sad that ‘free’ has evolved to arouse suspicion

#hangtenstories

 

#wrath looked to his forlorn brethren recalling a time when they worked to inspire men to sin. Now, men were inventing their own.

#vss365

 

Play your music so it can dance in my skin

#hangtenstories

 

#sloth is … easier.

#vss365

 

Prey runs…but sometimes, it will run at the hunter

#hangtenstories

 

#gaslight stole me away, the madness waxing and waning in your planned lighting. But in the darkness, the hiss of gas will halt you #vss365

 

Untangle trussed tongues
Divulge your thoughts fearlessly
Wield precious voice

#hangtenstories

 

Sowed these excuses
To stop longing taking root
Bittersweet harvest

#hangtenstories

 

‘Be careful, little #firebrand who you burn.’
‘They’ll love me or be ash!’
‘No, for some will weep oceans…enough to cool metal.’

#vss365

Silly Thief!: to snatch one kiss when all were there

 

Slash and burn. There is wisdom in #combustion that we have learnt from her. But we fail where she reigns, for we forget to restore
#vss365

 

They’ll scoop out well
And the derelict shell
We’ll decorate
With spite and hate
And the kicker is
No one’ll notice

#horrorprompt

 

Don’t promise forever, just gift me all of you now

#hangtenstories 72

 

#hangtenstories 73

Sustaining rhythm
Your heartbeat strums within me
Essential love notes

 

The dead hang as a warning and we dare not pull them down, but we will teach our children to hear our enemies’ sins in a #WindChime #vss365

 

You acquire labels, but don’t forget your first: I am

#hangtenstories

 

We don’t trust answers so hide your truths in the trivial for the beast still feasts on gamey meat with fattened intellects
#horrorprompt

 

Blessed be
When you and me
Became we
A family

#hangtenstories

 

#hangtenstories 76

You sowed many words
Tending industriously
Now listen and reap

 

#hangtenstories 77

Drown within an hour
Watching minutes flow away
Time’s fluidity
