Medium rare, buttered and tender Taste buds bountiful, complements To the chief of The Colorado's Splendour

'Why are you at Hampton Court, Fred ?' asked Jay.
'For the #splendour of the architecture & history, of course.'
'Not because a client's asked you to raise the spirit of Henry VIII?' Lis asked.
'Definitely not!'

.... to think
all I did
was press a seed
into the soil
and it responded
with the splendour
of its bloom

The Minutes of the Mighty Volume I: The Clicking Dale Tudge Let it be recorded—as all things are recorded—in the Minutes of the Mighty, that Neville, known as the Nigh-Mighty, son of Michael the Mighty, grandson of Moriarty the Mightier, great-grandson of Magnus the So Mighty That Further Discussion Is Unnecessary, was not so mighty as his ancestors. This is known. Neville knew it himself. Beyond the scorched hills, through the ochre haze, lay what remained of Old New Metropolonia—once the mightiest of the Five Cities. Nothing dwells there now except the corrosion, which the elders said was patient and would outlast them all. A fungus fed off the corrosion. The air about it tasted like a coin at the bottom of a crater. Neville regarded the jagged skyline from his usual glowing rock. It vexed him, as it had always vexed him, though not enough to move him to a different rock. The rock used to make his loins tingle, but no longer. This, too, was known, though not discussed. Neville adjusted his sword, “Swordy,” for that was the way of him, though the blade bore the ancient inscription REPLICA, so named by the men of great knowledge. It was a sword of barbaric proportions, made for someone considerably more mighty than Neville, recovered from an underground armoury beneath what the elders called the Temple of Gathering Magic, where gathered men of great knowledge and little sunlight, those who knew the ancient ways. The sword had taken to glowing recently. Neville took this as a sign of improving quality, which it was not. Behind him, somewhere past the irradiated perimeter, a radiation marker clicked steadily, the way it had clicked since before he was born. The elders said the clicking meant danger. The elders said this of many things. But on this day, the clicking was louder, faster, nearer. Neville stood. Swordy throbbed with what Neville believed was excitement, which it was not. It was cesium. And so Neville went forth, Swordy in hand, toward the clicking.
My story began with #splendour, but then decayed into madness—something I often see in others who drink from the same tire swing.

Every year on their anniversary, Susan visits his grave with flowers.
But this year, waiting in all his #splendour, is John.
She gasps. “Is it really you? Am I seeing ghosts now?”
“No. You are one,” he says.
On the grave, her name glints in gold letters. #vss365

The planet's #curly #towers were set against skies of #splendour that crackled with #vicious lightning. Each had long lines of the #wounded outside waiting. With each hopeful patient vanishing at the door, the sky flared all the brighter. None re-emerged.

There was a city here once. Or so they say.
A place of #splendour, where mighty rivers #wound their way around great #towers, and all things seemed possible.
No one knows what #calamity befell them.
But time, like the desert, swallows all.
Only the stories remain.

The drive led towards the house. The #splendour was oppressive and she felt weak and dirty. Hungry, she walked to the back door and knocked. As the door opened, she put out her hands for a piece of bread. The woman stared at her and her mouth opened. ‘Alice? Is that you?’ #vss365

The #splendour of the castle was visible from far. The ivory carved dragons scaling the walls, the ebony giants leaning against the gatehouse and the jade vines encircling most surfaces. Pettigru leaned on his club and gathered his resolve before walking further. #vss365

He rested on the fifth floor. Two floors later, he was outside his flat. Inside, he put away the shopping and stood at the window.
A magpie perched on the fire escape and was joined by another.
The sea lapped at the horizon and the sun set over the factory.
So ended another day of #splendour

An elderly pair of
Well served, drunken Demons
Cling to the fading ridges of
The dying man's crows feet
“Too many bottles
Of the ruin,
Even his mum didn’t
Want to know him”
Singing deadly,
Downing raw gin
Drowning in the splendour
Of the old man’s sin

“Extra Us are silly, like in vacuum, #splendour, Uranus.”
“Uranus isn’t wrong.”
“I keep saying.”
“Totally walked into that, didn’t I?”
“Yuup”

The true horror lay in the #splendour of her appearance. All around her was rags and bones and filth, but it drew back to avoid touching the hem of her heavily embroidered skirts. The price she must have paid for such pristine luxury was terrifying.

the natural world has splendour to display a sunrise a sunset an aurora over the back forty appreciated by that bird in that tree pouring its heart out in a song more perfect than anything a human could ever come up with that's because the bird is like the aurora part of the whole it fits it's there and it's too busy being itself to interrupt the proceedings with its own ideas about how to rearrange the universe so that it could cheat its way to a tiny advantage over all the other birds no it plays the hand it's dealt and sings the song it knows and when the light is just right it lets the universe know just how perfect everything is and that too is splendour Image: Blackbird singing during aurora, composite with thanks to Tavaron da Quirm and Kitkat for original photos.

The pagentry
and #splendour
of a grand festival
enjoyed by family
and friends alike
a holiday that stretches
back centuries
that is alive and well
even today.

The Smell,
Intoxicating presence of splendour
To Touch
I was too nervous to even look
To Love
It was too much,
I was completely hooked

aching to know
the hazy #splendour
of a lazy morning
dark mornings
becoming brighter
and no other plans
than interlaced fingers
atop rumpled sheets

Stateside it's #splendor. Across the pond it's #splendour. Either way, the word is precise in its usage describing the magnificence of #curly fries. Or is it #curly chips?

“You can’t handle my #splendour.”
“Sure, let’s go with that.”
“Just look at how my coat sparkles.”
“I wish I could, but it’s like looking at the sun.”
“My beauty does shine brightly.”

- Arguing over the spelling of #splendour and colour even though we were both right.
- Drinking a shot on the hour because hey, it's 5 o'cock somewhere.
- Saying "I love you" at the screen, but not into the mic.
(Things that happened when the conversation started with "good timezone")

In the upstairs bedroom at number nineteen, Garrick’s Way, behind a fake wall in the closet, is the gateway to heaven.
Those expecting the #splendour of the pearly gates arrive into the kingdom of God disappointed and smelling slightly of mothballs.
Peter runs the coat check.

I hear the wind howl in your heart Watch storms rage in your eyes I smell the rain fall within your arms And when the world becomes cold and dark In those moments before it starts I know your #splendour will light my way. *Stock image of the faded sun lighting up the landscape below. My words written for this prompt. #vss365 #writer #poet #poem #photography #WritingCommunity #EastCoastkin #Artist #BlueSkyPoetry #Australia
I hear the wind
howl in your heart
Watch storms rage
in your eyes
I smell the rain fall
within your arms
And when the world becomes cold and dark
In those moments
before it starts
I know your #splendour will light my way

We stand in abuse of the #splendour of breath Inflating words to thumb press necks and choke the others Inhaling exhaling in squalarising gulps, Leaving nature to recoil in horror. What use these lungs that take the splendid air To blow fire in winds and children to graves? Cyranovg

Went to the wonder vendor Asked for a top seven gift Despite the obvious splendour All of their offerings whiffed I am not in the market for almost Not going to settle for great Perfect, amazing and foremost That’s what I need on my plate Some may say I am not worth it That I am not deserving enough Without the aim for those targets I’ll get what I like but not love
