I do not know
if my hand written love note
in front of you
will blow up in my face

Now that my cards are on the table
perhaps you will #explore the possibility
that maybe, just maybe
I can graduate
from the dreaded Friend Zone

A dark cave #explored,
'neath the chine, along the shore,
Gunn's gold lies not there.

uptown bistro —
our fashionably
unfriendly waitress

Old Robot knows the most words, some nights saying them at random as we walk.

So, I guess their meaning. Bistro's a wild dance, or vestibule's a cold nose drip. The rules are, Old Robot lets me keep one word my way.

When leaves whisper between us and the stars, we call that illustrious.

I do not know
where the time goes

History fluctuates

The past yields truths

One would think
Humanity's intelligence intensifies
with each lesson learned
from our mistakes
but we collectively
seem to be getting dumber

Just followed #InkMine #7SyllableSentence #TrioletJam #MPPrompt just a few more prompts for you to check out

a tiny desk
in the crowded vestibule

Watch outside porthole
Stormy waves roll up and down
Tide's fluctuation

#InkMine
#fluctuate

If you find that your feelings

Then it’s time to be honest
And move on

​At my birth, I skirled;
through my #infancy I mewled;
now, I mostly grumph.

tons of snow delivered
for sledding at our zoo
remember the days
when coldness
had a warm feeling

There hanging around
Garments used in all rituals
In church vestibule

The trend it was bucked,
when the #deer (doh!) struck the truck,
right between the lamps.

Three #knocks, every time. The number never #fluctuates.

One, at the gate.

Nobody there, of course. Just your imagination.

Two, at the door.

A stranger, all in shadows. Blink, and he's gone.

The third comes from the inside.

And then the games #commence.

There is something about
These double-jointed folks
With flexible bodies
Can be fascinatingly
Creepy yet engaging
