I’m having a blast participating in the #vss365 #prompt challenges on Twitter. It’s for everyone – from people who’ve never written poems or prose before all the way to real Pros! You can participate in the #vss365 #prompt challenges, too! I tell you all about it when you Click Here.
However, the purpose of this post is to share my responses to the #vss365 challenges for this week (below) and to quickly point you to where, on Twitter, you can join in the fun. There, you also can find my submissions and those of other writers.

#vss365 #prompt #prior #Haiku
I have a #prior
conviction for the crime of
loving POCs.
Note: Some Things Never Change

#vss365 #prompt #prior #Haiku
It used to scare me
When a premonition gave
Me #prior knowledge.

Note: in this one, I have combined the prompt words from #vss365 #prompt and #PBF (Poetry Battle Friday – also found on Twitter). It then can be placed in both challenges!
#vss365 #prompt #carve #PBF #shaddow
I’ve always walked in my own #shaddow
Trying to #carve out a sliver from invisibility
That would allow me to flourish and be seen
In a White world in which I am unwelcome.

vss365 #prompt #aloud #Haiku
#SECRET ADMIRER
We met because I
accidentally spoke my
thoughts of him #aloud.

#vss365 #prompt #contemporaneous #rhyme
My response was spontaneous
To the challenge word, “Contemporaneous.”
Things that don’t #rhyme became extraneous.
Converging thoughts became simultaneous.
This result is temporaneous.

#vss365 #prompt #choir #anothertruestory #shortstory
Note: when this was too long to meet the Twitter requirements, I put it into a PowerPoint slide, which I then converted to a JPEG (single picture) image, so I could post it on Twitter. In that way, the only characters Twitter counted were these: #vss365 #prompt #choir #anothertruestory #shortstory.
@NancyKnowsLife Has ’em All! Better Yet ~
So Does Nancy’s Novelty #VSS365 Bits
You can see all of my submissions on my Twitter page, @NancyKnowsLife, since Twitter is the host for these challenges. Some are poems, some are in Haiku style, and some are prose. You should check out ALL the writers’ work, as well. It is fascinating! Uh Oh! The thing is that I post a lot of other stuff there, too, about wellness, photography, Nancy’s Novelty Photos on Pixels, and many more topics. To see only the #Vss365 #prompt posts in one place on this website, Click Here. It will give you lots of examples to kickstart your imaginings.
Let’s have some fun sharing our very short stories and poems!
