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

Powered by a warm west wind
through darkened water's wake
neath Summer's moon hung full above
no sound the #sail makes
the lovers sit, tanned legs entwined
wise, with lessons learned
with loving care he strokes her hair
a second chapter earned

They sailed through the dark waters,
Moving unseen in the night,
Creatures from the sunless deep,
From a secret underwater world.
Every October they rose to the surface
And embarked on a days-long journey:

The bully dubs me Cyclops due to my post-op eye patch. "I'm a pirate!" I say. It takes the wind from his sails to be stood up to by a girl.

dreams sewed up
bundled on backs
hope beats
life in hearts
of the immigrants
rhythm of sails
lace the sea
doves fly overhead
towards the promised land

mom’s love
steadfast
true
the main mast
others hang
their #sails
to navigate
stormy weather
mom’s love

Here,
Where the
Ink well sits

Lily,
Tries to
Relive the
Landican fire

Under
A Dragon's
Scalled sails

She
Opens her
Wounds

To the Ash
To the Phoniex flames 🔥

To live yesterday,
Again Tomorrow
I know there
Would never
Be the
Same love
And sorrows

In
The kiss,
Long before
The words
Shared our
Breath

If yesterday
Came tomorrow
I'd sail,
I'd eternally
Breath again

In the
Conjuring of
All our sorrows

Their world was in ruins. They had to leave. With zero #funds, they found an old #wreck and set #sail for the stars. As they each went to sleep, they did not know where or if they might wake again. They #yearned to dream of distant horizons and, one day, to see them.

The King's sails
Burn across the
Conway Castle's moat

Bubble and steam
From the scales and gills
Of Dragon's fish fertility

Drowning
Cumberland and
Lincolnshire,
The Kings spoilt
Sausage hounds

Crow,

"Nobles,
Squeeze the Queen
She's all
Pickled and pink,
In dire need
Of relief"

"Yes?" she replied, trotting over.

"Hi, what's your name?"

"Thank you for asking! I'm Martha."

"And you're a tour guide, a receptionist...?"

"I'm the greeter. I also know basically everything about all the exhibits, and I love to #sail." Her eyes still looked worried. #vss365 #writing

I wasn't born maritime
I was landlubber
fixed to the shore
I could never face
that wide open ocean
step in a boat to
set sail for some
far away land
roll with the waves
seagulls hunting for sardines
none of this was part of my dreams

"A yes from you
The wind in my #sail
Directing me in my life
Towards my peace..."
"..."
"Well..?!"
"I don't understand why you have to be dramatic whenever you wanna order the frickin' pizza! Geez!!
"But.."
"YES, FINE! WHATEVS!!"
"..yay."

The #sail billows
in the ocean wind
the fabric unfurls
in magnificent
splendour
and the ship skims
over the azure waves

“Husssssh. Close your eyes and #sail away. Take deep breathes. In two three four. Hold. In two three four. No coughing. Relax. Feel the weight wash over you. Let the tide take you to where you need to go.”
Tori flinched. Her rapid breathing drowned out by the sound of the roaring sea.
