"States"

Set in ways; long
washed ashore,
sandcastle sink sink
sinking slow.

Puritanic panic percolating; sand
castle crashing in tide; plutocrats
plucking, shucking our shells; win
ter cold drying nose; mayflower
sailing ashore, setting ways.

Chart a course of meaning
Lay out with purpose your path
Sail with determination toward success
Leaving behind the disappointment
Past mistakes drown in your wake
Rather than copilot your journey
Cast overboard those who betray you
Let them fight for their own survival

With meticulous care we hoist a #sail no hurricane will ever touch.

Delicate, thinner than thin, it catches the starlight.

Our ship sets forth through the infinite black ocean, riding on a sunbeam.

Discovering where day meets night. Nothingness and everything.

Reality folds in on itself
As I unfurl in the debris
Insides rising to the surface
Foaming in a cosmic sea
Lost to brainwaves of turmoil
Sprayed out in the breeze
Only to be caught in the sails
Of what I thought was me

#vss365 #sail #prompt #writingcommunity #poetry

In my youth, I set off at full #sail
Achieving my goals without fail
But now that I'm old
I'm no longer so bold
I just glide with the wind at my tail

sail home to me
past sirens, through hurricanes
around one-eyed beasts
come straight home to your heart
I will wait for you

Sleep allows the mind to #sail
Reaching the heavens

"Avalon is landlocked," he shrugged. "So I like seeing the water when I'm here. #Sail away somewhere." A couple of kayaks drifted past.
"I always think it would be awesome to fly."
"I thought you hated planes?"
"Yeah,"she pouted. "I mean literally be able to fly. Don't look at me like that."

You #sail over the horizon
I stand at the edge of the cliff
Peer at every seagull becoming dots
in the distant sky
Pretend they're you

wild winds
know
how to play
wild party games

a shopping centre
carpark
offers
so much fun

an empty trolley
joins the party
surfing the carpark
in zig zag directions
rudderless
sans #sail
and no captain
in sight

#vss365 #poetry

How small,
I could bundle
You all up,
And kept you
To myself,

Hidden from
Any of the
Cruelness
Of this world

Sails feathered,
A heart light
I travel with
You caged
In my soul
Tonight.

We exhale and mark email
as read. We don't sail.We
don't have any cages.
We staple folded pages
into democratic socialist
zines. We exhale carbon
dioxide and ride bikes
and longboards. We
don't sail. My baddest
friend flew to Portugal.
Who? Probably you; not
like a bird—in a plane.🚥

Evening rest arrives with poured coffee. Happiness #vss365 #haiku

Hoist them all up high
Gallant and main mast bellow
#sail with all you have

Wanna get somewhere?
Just hoist your #sail!
The wind’s already blowing

A little effort
Goes a long way
A little faith
In the process and result

If you’re in
The same position
It might just be
Your fault

Said a starry-eyed, non-boating male
To his wife, "Sammy's sailboat's for sale.
I must buy it! It's cheap!"
Her response was to weep
And reply "Better learn how to bail."

He could just #sail away. It would be that easy. He knew disaster was coming for the tiny island, whether it was from climate change or the CCP ruining their fishing. Either way, he knew it was a flashpoint. Then he looked at Ada, knowing she would never leave, and just couldn't go. #vss365 #micro
