Behind the eyes his
Verve for slaughter still remained
The thirst never quenched

#vss365 He kept walking at speed. It didn't matter who was in the way or their numbers, he was adamant that he was going to follow the signs and cut right through them.
In the distance, a gun metal grey horizon reflected off the water. Seagulls cawed impatiently overhead....
#verve.

Enjoying our musical mystery tour writers/authors/poets? It's day 10, two thirds of the way through!

We're sticking with the 90s, it's a bittersweet symphony this life, yes today's #vss365 #prompt 10/10/25 is #verve.

What's your favourite lyric of all time (tough I know).

SHOCK POLL: NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW IN an amazing poll conducted by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like. However, 99 percent of journalists agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Here's my offering for the theme of #libertine - thanks go to Paul @thedevilstuna.bsky.social our #vss365 host

the #libertine burrows deep
into the pleasures of the flesh
laid down on a plush bed
surrounded by curtains,
which muffle the sounds of
their slow, slow death

True story!

We called him plain Bertie at work
A diligent soul, not a jerk
But one day, surprise
Lit up all our eyes
His name was Libertine! What a quirk.

Whatever #libertine thoughts I had, I pushed way way down. I wasn’t getting a good vibe from whatever these two had going on.

“Ain’t she a little old for a kiddie leash?” I opined freely.

They looked at each other with a sense of opposing obviousness only paralleled by a yin-yang symbol.

My anxiety is a libertine,
A wayfaring danger,
A dagger’s glint in the dark.
In the eyes of the hunter,
they looks for
the most vulnerable
for their prey.
Keep watch for wolves
among the flock.

Libertine dreams
Populist prisons
Cultural archetypes
Semiotic earthquakes

Those were damn good dreams

Here’s to the late Larry the #Libertine, the master of the
well-timed fart.
