I tossed a truth grenade
over the Wall of Ignorance
into the Garden of Propaganda
long #nurtured by slick
orator ministers

The influencer class
easily absorbed the blast
and spun it into today's ration
of mass regurgitated disinformation

Thereby living to lie another day

I yearned
in my thoughts of you;
I discerned
in my solitude.
I found my strength
when I bid your ghost adieu.

I let the past fade,
its shadows die…
#nurtured self love
and found the sweetest why.

In honesty, I discovered trust;
in loyalty, reverence grew.

I #nurtured our love
Gave you my heart forever
But I'm left alone
#vss365 #haiku #poetry

In this small inconsequential soul
A hope has been #nurtured for so long

Burning silently inside
Waiting for vultures to move

Growing with every bright and long day
Becoming something wonderfully more

We all cherish the world now
We all love the brilliance because you exist here

Pt567
She had #nurtured him back to health, & here he was, taking care of her. She had been so hypnotized by Marvin’s manipulations of the cavern’s miracles, she’d become #unobsevant, forgot her little friend, who was now just puppy himself from drinking & playing in the waters.

The wilted plant had flourished back in the heyday of their relationship. It was as if their love had #nurtured it, & now it was dying.

“Shall we throw it away?” she said.

He kissed her. “No.”

The plant sighed, relieved. But they went off to bed.

“Wait!” it croaked, “I still need water!” #vss365

Goobie #nurtured a deep hatred for his twin brother, Horace, who tried to strangle him in utero. He’d plotted his revenge for thirty-two years, and tonight was the night!

We found an empty house, though the beds were still warm and shoes still sat by the door. A kitten meowed at us, licking his paws. We loved that cat. We petted him and fed him and #nurtured him on the richest milk. When we woke up to find him nibbling our toes, we were sure we needn't worry.

C'mon, it's time to let go. Eventually they are old enough to look after themselves.
Yeh, it's just, well, she feels like part of me.
Of course! You've #nurtured this fear for so long she's got a national insurance number. You can still visit.
You're right. I'll think about it.

Not very wise
to smoke inside
a gunpowder factory

Nor is it smart
to take love
for granted

For love
must be #nurtured

Protected from erosion
that corrodes the heart

Whatever it takes
to keep these feelings alive
cause that fragile necessity
called Love
will always be our foundation
