It wasn't a question Of fighting fair We never fought At all Feelings festered Rotted, grew Until that Awful brawl We both said things We never should We both cried Angry tears Though we made up In a mincing way It doesn't allay My fears #vss365 #fight

The boxing announcer waved to the crowd. "Get ready for a great #fight! In this corner, weighing in at 224 pounds, it's Lightning Louie Peterson! And in that corner, weighing in at 50,000 pounds, it's an F-35!" Louie blanched. "This seems a bit unfair." "You're both fighters, ain't ya?" #vss365

I preferred the overt #fighting of his family on Xmas Day. Watching gravy boats fly while Michael Bublé crooned about a #holly jolly Xmas was kind of funny, like a Tarantino movie. Round my house, words were quiet but sharp as knives, & the frost never thawed. #vss365 #vsschristmas

I struggle forward Not in my nature to #fight But I still stand up #vss365 #haiku #poetry

Been not a #struggle but a gift #personifies my mid-life shift no one's #puppet no daily #fights a #silver headed #crone in flight #2wordprompt #vssdaily #vss365 #WIPSnips #vssmagic

#vss365 The widow did not weep when the #fighting ended. She washed his coat, pressed it flat, and laid it over the chair by the lamp. Morning came and found her still watching the doorway, where nothing waited but light.

Into this #humble place we come, in twos or more or all alone. Though bare the floor, rafters and wall, with tale and song we'll furnish this hall. #vss365

No need to fight, humans. Solstice is coming. #vss365 #fight #solstice #wintersolstice #Sunday

Two giants from the world of poetry in a skirmish of poetical words Seems their battle will last deep into the night with all their wit and endeavour and the victor will never share the spoils #vss365 #poetry #prompt #fight #writing #5amwritersclub #poetrycommunity

Low nook beer in hand stuck in sand all smiles planned few more cans night slows down like it understands how we seldom #fight how lonesome haunts Yet hurt resounds frozen words still circle around same pain gnaws, it comes, it hums it stays, it thaws & then it goes away ~rev #vss365

#fight the first step for healing anger is to see it (how it puffs and burns, boils and fumes) and then ask it to name its fear and tell its story until you see how little they are and the fight gives out and you love them #vss365

The primping matador struts into the arena of public opinion reeking of arrogance His bull adversary charges into the fray determined not to be the victim today Matters not who wins this #fight Neither adversary will ever admit how much they love and thrive on pointless conflict #vss365 #poetry

Here's my offering for the theme of #humble - thanks go to our #vss365 host Jan @JanDubovan #vsspoem #poet #poetrycommunity

noise expected. quiet arrives. voices tighten. ground holds. lines appear. pressure chooses. resistance answers. exit counts. survival steadies. principle remains. #vss365 #poetry #prompt #fight #writing #5amwritersclub #poetrycommunity

#vss365 "I do not like to work with patients who are in love . . . Perhaps it is because love and psychotherapy are fundamentally incompatible.

compassion wraps a core of silken mercy suffused with patience to gently guide the fool who stumbles blindly with unremitting flaws yet when tolerance wanes & warmth dwindles like the setting of a winter sun you must #fight back to save your sanity 🙏 #vss365 #FoxProse @FoxProse

We fight with breath, where whispered worlds are spun, Soft syllables do wound, yet make us one. Our souls slip through our ears, such secret gates, There love stands armed, and conquers pain by fate. #vss365

#FIGHT sometimes, to do what’s right, we need to pause the fight, head down, shift goals from thrive to merely stay alive, patient, preserving strength for the right moment to charge from the trench. #vss365

Post Spin Cycle As sudden as a ceasefire after battle, when soldiers lower arms and feel the fight drain from their limbs, when peace arrives not as relief but as a kind of shock, a cavity where ferocity once filled the air. #vss365 1/2

Silence fell like rain upon the room when the old man had said his piece. Some had come to see a #fight, still more had expected war. #vss365

the internal fight increasing inflammation angry fight red cheeks #vss365 #fight

How do i win? I’m exhausted from trying & losing Just to make you happy I’ve tired & died trying I fought for this Which you now claim You’re not too late But the war’s over I can’t not fight When all you want is to win I’m here for peace Which only lasts a minute #vss365 #Fight

I had a window next to my bed on the wall side. When it was windy,it’d throw shadows into my room. Branches outside cast tall dancing figures on to its walls. Holding my breath to #fight ever increasing terror, I’d watch their macabre dance into the night until the first rays of daybreak. #vss365
