‘V’ for Vanquish

Quarter Crazy Marathon 2021
Prompt 5

Vouch for me, Verse, if you will? My
Vanity may not evoke the meanings,
Vague as one’s self-assuredness may be in
Validating one’s life, mind, worth,
Valor in the face of a

Void created, previously. I return,
Vanishing in spirit, in soul, to
Venerate even the meek, the shallow, the
Vapid - with whom one would not even equate me.
Vitriol spilt, my spirit burnt, am I of no more

Value? When shall we not
Venture to find what
Veraciousness exists, even in those deemed most
Vacuous? It is not charity that I
Versify; but do point out that even those who

Vex us most with patterns unlike our minds
Vivify some aspect of this universe through which we
Venture. Having poured oneself so completely into
Votary of solely what one prefers to see, dare we
Vulgarize anyone, should we please?

Vow to me, Nightmare-of-mine: Never leave this
Vortex of my memories; your
Violence yet held chained within — with it, I may
Vitiate your claims and nullify your
Vituperative history.
