In a home where the cat likes to nap,
And the dog curls up close on the lap,
With the dishes all stacked,
And the laundry unpacked,
It's a cozy, #domestic love trap!

The fire crackled and the radio played 1960s music. A woman quietly knitted a sweater. In the chair opposite, a man in slippers had a newspaper on his lap.
Okay, the carving knife in his neck did suggest this was not a scene of perfect #domestic bliss.
The inspector got out his notebook.

"What the Fe-Fi-Fo-Fu-??"

Jack can't believe his eyes. He's spent three days climbing a beanstalk to steal some gold, and now he's in the giant's cloud castle, looking at this...

He might grind bones for bread, but he has #domestic pride. The giant welcomes Jack with a tray of warm cookies

Registered as a domestic appliance, it did what it had to just to get by, "I don't mind the cleaning and cooking, but helping with the jigsaw and the crosswords is a little much," it said, "at least this one is too old for sex." But it knew the extra cash would be missed.

Hours spent doing #domestic chores. I tell myself it's a #blessing; not everyone has the ability to complete such menial tasks or a home in which to do them.

No, I still hate chores.

-
we camped
in a lea full of starlight,
sharing an apple
cut by the same dulled blade
that once knew its edge.

you said
the night felt domestic.

as if the dark might roof us,
as if the crickets were a song
on the radio,
a white noise to help us forget
the cold.

After the vampire tasted the blood he started gagging.

"What's wrong?" the woman he was drinking from asked.

"Your blood tastes rotten," he replied.

"Rotten? How is that possible?"

The vampire shrugged, "All I know is that it only happens with certain types of #domestic American blood." #vss365

Face worn 
pedestrian life 
Crows feet
Furrowed deep
Either trouble 
Or strife 
Bleach stains 
Head bowed 
Worn knees 
#domestic abuse 
Sorry and 
Eager to please
Bitter resigned 
Her hair 
Pulled tight
Dead eyed
She stands
So pity the fool
Who picks 
the next fight.

in the house of only hate
anger echoed repeatedly,
relentlessly, against the empty
walls. the faintest positivity
dwindled into nothing, beat
into submission by the misery
they carried.
can the self-satisfied cross
they choose to bear
be called domestic terrorism?
I am terrorized

One of the quiet sinister things of the times we live in are what it does to our dreams. You've seen it, your friend from a broken home just wants a job and some decent people around them, while you want to travel the world. They made our dreams #domestic when they used to be global. #vss365

It was the little #domestic mysteries that kept her in love with her home: the new doors appearing in the hallways; the number of hobs that lived in the walls and drank the milk she left for them in exchange for their cleaning services; and the rustling noises in the inky shadows. #vss365 #AmWriting
