#inkMine People who during near tragedy draw from a well of courage they would deny. Every neighbor and protester in Minnesota exercised courage every day while being invaded by thugs. Why because they wanted to do the right thing and the right thing takes courage. #writingprompts

#InkMine
#courage

I measure courage in willingness to protect others around you.

silence
occasionally
reverberates

handing
a grieving heart
ample space to dream

before
bidding
unbearable
pain #goodbye

where
past #sins
drift quietly
into unknown
cosmic realities
yet to be explained

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry

creative boundaries
#spinelessly crossed over

betraying a splendiferous
aura of love

an awaited #kiss of hope
mercilessly flung
into a #sinful pit of dread

her healing in the wait
after his loathing #goodbye

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry

#poltroons fiercely
grabbed their cuffs

slapped them on
peaceful voices calling their bluff

#spineless parasites
on a mission of mass destruction

couldn't care less
about grave repercussions

round them up & ship them out
#sinners backed by billionaire's clout

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry

cowards
lacking the courage
to convict

mining some ink? spill it

post with the hashtag: #inkMine

undisturbed for years
unwilling to touch surface
inhabiting a cold sea with nothing
more at times than moss keeping her afloat

a lonely life yet unjudged & unamplified
until a #poltroon #sinner enticed her out of her shell

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry #blueskypoets #bskypoets

to shout or not to shout

to hover in the background
or to step forward

#valorous choices
to be cast November 3rd

one question to consider
how satisfied are you with:

the economy

the war

healthcare

non police patrolling
our streets

the price of gas

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry #November3rd

one #spineless #sin
led to hundreds
insulting our economy

one white lie
led to thousands
right before
our #valorous eyes

is it any wonder
we're in need of justice
to sever a nefarious line

come one come all
out to city streets
#kissing #poltroons #goodbye

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry

#inkMine

Overweening with praise
The sycophants watch the day
As the acclaimed preen

A silly one from 2024 ✍🏼
Wishing you a silly and fun day 🩵

Pardon me
I’m just a tree
I hate to be a bother,
but could you kindly
share with me
a little sip of water

#poetry #photography #inkmine #skylovers #treelovers #writers

the mime blows
a good night kiss
full moon.
#dailyhaikuprompt #inkmine #senryu

Eldritch eclipse
shadowing the islands,
stygian currents swell
spindrift bites cobwebbed debris,
deadly revenants emerge
from ghostly shipwrecks,
macabre maelstrom spins
entombing the crews,
lanterns flickering low
&siren's morendo
waving goodbyes

#InkMine #acrostic
#valor

Virtue valued
Above all
Loyalty lasts
Overcome oppression
Rewarding renewal

we've trembled enough
in dead silence

forced to drop anchor
in their #spineless sea

it's time we stand
with #valor

rise up & draw upon
our own certainty

refusing to be pawns
for a price

in our own damn
country

shout along with the #sirens
come October 17th

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry

Heed the #sirens call,
or let it go to voicemail,
at your own peril.

Early dusk and squally. Beach Crow calls the fleeing gulls poltroons, but they don't understand.

I suppose corvids aren't scared of anything.

'Oh, we're all valourious,' Beach Crow says. 'Course, yer can't be brave til yer been frighted.'

#inkMine #writingprompt #tinyfiction

the #siren #valorously sounded
in the city that never sleeps

heralding a day of resolution
for all of the countries citizens

why speak when they can shout
it's been a long time coming
as the No Kings celebration finally arrived

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry #blueskypoets #October17

she let you linger in her thoughts
longer than she should have

especially after that #spineless
display of disrespect

it takes a #valorous heart time
to readjust after #sinful shock
of that magnitude

let this #moment be regarded
as her final #goodbye
