CHARM Irish Gran always said how #suave Grandpa looked, whether he was going to work or to a dinner party. But, even after 60 years together, she could feel her heart skip a beat when she saw him, in his old suit and bow tie, ready to go outside and tend the garden #vss365

"I swore I heard a low #murmur coming from the living room, but that's not possible, is it Bob? You wouldn't get on my nerves by objecting to doing the dishes again, would you?" After that, Nora didn't hear anything else from the living room other than Bob getting up. #vss365

It’s time! 😄Your #vss365 #prompt is #sear Your song is: “Black” by Pearl Jam “I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I #sear? …I'm spinnin', oh-oh, I'm spinnin' How quick the Sun can drop away?” https://t.co/eDLKir9BpD

Ok, so I’m challenging myself to be authentic and vulnerable, which led to a crazy notion of sharing a reading of my poem. @KaitDeaton and @LionessPoet are big sources of inspiration. Here we go. No need to repost!

Hello, #vss365 family! I’m so excited to begin hosting, w/my first prompt dropping at 4 AM GMT. I’d like to thank Francis, @Dreamheadz, again for his time, support & creative selections. Wonderful, inspiring job! I look forward to reading & appreciating your beautiful creations!

Bob offered Nora #heartfelt apologies for choosing his "Birds of the World" Facebook group over her hair‑salon story. The moment he saw her new haircut he knew he'd missed something important, but the pull of those birds had been impossible to resist. #vss365

Hello everybody and a very Happy New Year. the #vss365 #prompt for 1 January, 2026, is #delight Hopefully the new year will bring you much delight.

"As I #recall, my regular hairstylist styled my hair with more volume at the back." Nora asked Bob to check. She was unpleasantly surprised by Edina’s absence at the salon. Four weeks in the Bahamas seemed more than a little excessive. #vss365

What to buy his fiancée? Too #chic for anything cliché Always in the latest fashion But lacking warmth or true compassion Something cuddly might be nice To thaw & melt her heart of ice And so he opts for 2 cute kittens & hopes they won’t end up as #mittens… #vss365 #vsschristmas

She peered at the charm for quite some time-its core seemed limitless ‘what on Earth it could be?’ Dusk lay its mystery over her, in this #vespertine hr A glimmer beckoned. Unsure she leaned in as a tiny tentacle touched her hand. 2day the charm lays back on the beach #vss365

"This #Vespertine perfume fits perfectly for an evening out, Bob. I'm putting it on my Santa list." Nora gave him a cheeky smile. Bob hummed, knowing the lists always found their way to him, and truth be told, he wouldn't want it any other way. #vss365

At first light the dream rises leaving a suave trace in the air I begin there inviting you to follow wherever the words may open… The #vss365 prompt for December 1st: #suave Happy writing! ✨✍️ 📸 Y. Jolie

We call it “the day time folded on itself.” Worlds merged. Others collapsed. Existences were erased. We cried, our tears the souls of the lost. When the #last tear fell, a tree sprang from the earth. Our facades faded, and all that remained was heartlight haloing the sky.

If you were to me meet me for the first time, the first word that would enter your head to describe me would be #sauve. Some men have it. Some don't. As for me, I'm one of those guys who breezes.... Sod it! Just dropped my phone into my bowl of Rice Krispies. Again. #vss365

The kids were #excited to see Elf On The Shelf. Mum, not so much. The Elf’s arrival last year had heralded the end of her relationship. By Xmas Eve, her partner had gone. She eyed the Elf warily. “He was too #suave anyway” it said, smoothing its felt hair. #vss365 #vsschristmas

Round and round the corners Nothing like a bear One turn two turns #Gently and with flair But this little charmer #suave and without a care Jostles with a skirting board And lands up in the air Happy Monday 😄 #vss365

Bob considered himself to be #suave, singing "Bailamos" by Enrique Iglesias in the bathroom mirror. Nora stayed outside, knowing he'd soon be bending over to scoop his towel wrap off the floor. It was too much, even for the towel. #vss365

It’s the #last day of November & I’m playing ‘Last Christmas’ & cursing myself for not untangling the lights last year before boxing them up. But wait. I *did.* I remember doing it! The angel snickers. “You can stay in the box,” I say. I wake up on top of the tree. Ouch. #vss365
