every piece of poetry
every drop of prose from the ink
is evidence of the journey i embark
to see all sides of my kaleidoscope

To #commence & #sustain #cartooning, I had to explore How to Draw #Comics the #Marvel Way, leaving me a #conflict of interest influenced by 1980s self-published #comix, until @scottmccloud.bsky.social published Understanding Comics, a less #stormy tract leading me to #embark into #esoterica.

They talked for a moment, and then the mother made a move Amy recognized; she was working him. She wanted him to #embark on the interaction long enough to lift from him. He pulled back immediately and the dog growled loudly enough for Amy to hear it over the street noise. #vss365 #writing

Bailey stared at the ocean after quitting her job. It felt good punching Director Smith in the face after years of getting screwed over with false promises and more work. She wondered where would be #embark next? What use is a woman that knows alien tech? #vss365

The thrill of the heart
Embarking on love's journey
We look back and smile

I asked
Madge
to give me
a suitable
definition
of #embark
for an English
assignment
well
she said
you know
when a dog
barks
yes I said
well
if there's
a slight
hesitation
beforehand
you call it
an
embark
mmm
I said
funny
she laughed
almost
uncontrollably
that
was

As i lift my feet to #embark on the short ferrry journey, the assistant reaches out his hand for support. I smile, oh, it's not me that's unsteady, it's the ground beneath.

She decided she wanted to #embark on a new career. She loved creating beautiful and surprising things that made people happy. She impressed the interview panel and got the job. She was the new Mother Nature.

#vss365 #writing #stories

an abyss meeting an abyss
that's how it #commences

we are two galaxies full of unexplored wonders
that #marvel at each other

how do we #embark on this journey into the unknown

we can't avoid #stormy days
& #conflicts are bound to arise

only love can #sustain this dance & make it eternal

#vss365

Too many embark
on a tire with a slow leak
How far can they go
We will see

The ship came to their aid awashed in enthusiasm.

Distant the cries of past arrogance, the planet green and rotten.

The moment they ignored reason they scheduled their need to #embark.

Upon greater heights and dreams, to the next life.

I will up upon the lea
To the wood that crowns the hill
Therein I will settle me
Of the sweet air drink my fill

Stretch my fingers to the sky
Curl my soul into the earth
Flourish long and never die
Til the green shall leave the turf

I'll #embark
Gladly so
Clad with leaf
Bare with snow

The sheep nosed the little girl’s arm. “Let’s #embark on a fabulous adventure. The pig told me there are greener lands and more colorful seas to explore.”

“Will we be home in time for dinner?”

“Doubtful.”

“But there’s strawberry shortcake for dessert.”

“We’ll leave tomorrow, then.” #vss365

"If you wanna come along you need to #embark within the hour."
"You seriously think you'll be able to sail past the embargo?"
"You better believe I will. I've paid a Ferengi half a fortune for a fully functioning Klingon cloaking device."
"What's a Ferengi?"
"A troll I met in the woods."

The seasons change today on the calendar. Another new beginning as I #embark on this phase of my life. We both are in autumn now, one last burst of vibrancy before winter takes hold. My next steps are taken with optimism and gratitude.
#vss365

in the beginning
just learning
morning arrives
hushed
a grey slip of light across the floor
the shape of you
feels suddenly close
we map silence
test the weight
the warmth
in shared space
not quite grand yet
a quiet promise
tucked in a glance
the world softens
we #embark
and take the chance
