plummeting from the
magical tower. Perplexed,
by your ivory.

She was one bastard of many, locked inside an infinite tower by the jealous empress. One day, she made the only choice she had, to escape in the only way she knew—
She sung a #paean to the neverending wind, and let #gravity take hold. After #plummeting for half a lifetime—someone caught her. A passing god, riding a chariot pulled by wolves, smelling of smoke and blood.
“Well done,” said the god of vengeance. “Better me than the god of death, right?”

It ought to be natural, she thought, craning her neck to peer over one shoulder. She felt the weight of them, the tips brushing against her lower back, soft as fluffy kittens.
Bolshtar said that sometimes you had to have faith your body knew what to do, & this must be one of those times. So she toed her way to the edge, holding her breath & screwing her eyes shut. Then she stepped off, plummeting like a lead weight before those damn wings finally unfurled.

It seemed like a good idea when he’d first gotten off the lift. “Sure, let’s do that double black,” he said. “I think I’m ready.”

As they approached the edge of the first pitch he felt his self-confidence #plummeting. “Uh. I’m not sure this is such a good idea,” he said.

“It’ll be fine!” his girlfriend replied, flashing a huge grin. “You got this!”

He took a deep breath, feeling her infectious enthusiasm. “Alright. Screw it. Let’s go!”

It’s still hanging in there
Not #plummeting down
The Might Bird is resilient
No matter how many hope it will drown

Too many phonies
Too many fakes
Can’t take anyone serious
Or their bullshit hot takes

The storm is passing
Very few got hurt
They’ll flow back to Twitter
Continue to lie and pervert

Life wasn't the best but it was stable

Then shit hit the fan

And through no fault of your own

You are plummeting

Depending on others for your success

And they do not give a shit

Jason fell. Plummeting towards the ground. Wind whistled in his ears. The tarmac taunted him below. Racing up to kiss his pretty face. He closed his eyes, waiting for life to flash before them. An unwelcome mockery of worst moments. A montage of mistakes leading up to this fatal moment. Every muscle in his body tensed, bracing for the barrage of pain.
But nothing came.

The naked, star-pricked sky
sucks the heat from the departed day,
sends the temperature plummeting,
scattering a crystal crust
on green leaves burning brown,
to die on Winter's frozen ground.

Temperature falling
#Plummeting below zero
The ice man cometh

Oh, from the free plummet –
Down – to the dirt and tar!
Earthly love’s scant weight,
Salted with tears – how long?

Balcony. Through salty downpours,
Black pitch of malicious kisses.
And inescapable enmity’s
Sigh: breathed out in verse!

I wonder what she is
thinking
standing
At the edge
holding
one breath
It''s her story
Their story
Our story

Decisions are easy
Walking
Standing
Moving forward
or back
Weighing
Deciding

#plummeting The sky had finally dissolved,as the sun spun its descent,as mad birds flapped in confusion,and plummeted to kiss humans upon the head,melting into dust.Far above a billion stars followed the dance, plummeting to nothing,without light,twinkle,or a safety net.

Only once I was #plummeting did I begin to reconsider my choices. It had started so well - a lie-in, a cuppa in bed before leisurely wandering down for breakfast.
If only I hadn't chosen a full English! Everyone knows that black pudding attracts them , he flying things dubbed "Black Angels" and now I was their plaything but, with the speed the ground was approaching, not for long.
Covered my head futilely before feeling claws close round my ankle and being yanked upwards again.

Turtles plummeting
I want to have faith again
There is no bottom

The things that should
quickly be #plummeting
As we know them:

Carbon emissions.
Plastic.
Fossil fuels usage.
Covid infections.
Billionaires' wealth.
Waste production.
Consumerism.
Authoritarian violence.

But instead,
we keep those rising

and what plummets
are our chances
of a livable future
the hopes of our children
our living standards
biodiversity.
food availability.
and solidarity

It's all backwards

I could tell you it was the polio, but it was more my precarious sense of balance when, as a toddler, I scaled to the top step of our stairs and then, feeling so proud to have made it, suddenly realizing I'd lost my concentration and, in moments frozen in memory, I fell backwards, bumping tumbling #plummeting rolling down the stairs to the bottom.

It happened, I am told, every time one woman from town happened to drop by. She was so unnerved, she stopped visiting.

True story. #MastoPrompt

The history books
call it a crash.
But the stories are
of suited men
who, after a fall,
faced a fall,
then chose to fall.

When their great
grandchildren recall
their exploits and their exits,
their denouement and decent,
are they moved by
their forefather's desperation?
You could put it all down
To a lack of foresight.

Plummeting through infinity
Questions of masculinity and femininity
No longer remain
as we strive to attain
The long-promised goal of divinity

Plummeting into
Love with him again, this life:
Inevitable.

The Princess Cried

At the prompt, he felt
His confidence plummeting
Bringing this word to life
Seemed inconceivable.

“Off with his head,”
The princess cried.
Thus, in the end,
It was a no-brainer.
