Combining #FromOneLine : Prompt 397 “We should have stopped” with: #PoemsAbout #YouShouldntHave @thebrokenspine.co.uk #Oulens #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry #poetrycommunity #poetry Thanks for Stopping by! 🙏🫶🙏

#PoemsAbout #YouShouldntHave A poem inspired by Toyin Agbetu I discovered this while watching a documentary about the British Royal family, on the BBC this week. it's more in praise of what he did rather than what he shouldn't have.

For #PoemsAbout #YouShouldntHave I am thinking about all the things I shouldn't do. Warm nods to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

Sneaking this in before it chimes for the end of this day and thinking for #memorial about each day being an irretrievable loss. #promptcombo @rfsmith.bsky.social #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

= after autumn = so who will remember but the flowers i watered the birds that i fed the black dog that followed to the garden shed though never a sigh for the words that i wrote in blood on autumn leaves #PromptCombo #Memorial #poem #poetry v3

#weird #magenta #rift got me thinking like this. #Emoetry @fafo-poets-society.bsky.social @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social‬ @sanjar.bsky.social #vss365 @vss365hq.bsky.social @ewiggins66.bsky.social #BlueSkyRelay @blueskyrelay.bsky.social

Another for #blueskyrelay and #rift. This one from a university outing in Hawai'i give me an opportunity to be a bit more literal. Feels topical since Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been showing off spectacularly. Thank you @ewiggins66.bsky.social.

Hello #blueskyrelay here’s one for #rift Thank you @ewiggins66.bsky.social for hosting!

This week's #PoemsAbout prompt #NoFuture took me straight into something that is a sad reality, here in France, I have been closely connected to. Thank you for the ongoing inspiration @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk Happy weekend poets! 💜

For this week's #PoemsAbout #NoFuture, I'm thinking about paradoxes and the future problem. Holding our host @alanparrywriter.co.uk in my thoughts this week and thanks to @thebrokenspine.co.uk and to all of the other writers. #poetry #poem #writing #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets

#poemsabout #NoFuture #KeepWriting @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #TakeRisks #EndOnAnImage #AvoidCliché #poetrycommunity #poetry #PoetsWhoSupportPoets #PoetsOfBlueSky knocked out quickly - interrupted by a person from Porlock gaps to be filled...

Good morning! With Thanksgiving and houseguests, I wasn't going to participate in #PoemsAbout #NoFuture this week, but I felt the urge to write--so a quick one from me. I'll be back to read when I can. Thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Arriving late to #poemsabout for #nofuture. Thank you to our host @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk for the weekly prod to continue creating. #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry.

Hello #promptcombo crew Thanks Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for this week’s #onrooftops theme. I’m just about to go out, but thought I’d post my wee offering first. Photo by me, Jerusalem rooftops looking towards the Dome of the Rock. #poetry #poem

Appreciate Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for this prompt #OnRoofs. It got me thinking about the need to get out from under what hangs over us. #PromptCombo #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

For #Emoetry #Ferocity I am hoping perhaps this one will fit. It a very early piece of mine from 1995. #writingcommunity #poetry @fafo-poets-society.bsky.social #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

I don’t usually post #PoemsAbout @thebrokenspine.co.uk this early, but I’m taking some antihistamines and may sleep through a good portion of the night, or not. Will post a reel for #DogTags in the comments.

This week's #PoemsAbout #DogTags got me thinking about what should the world know about you in an emergency? Thank you to the host @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk and to all of the other writers. #poetry #poem #writing #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets

For #PoemsAbout #DogTags I did not feel I had the right to write. Finally, a meager offering emerged. Thank you to all those who serve and have served. Thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk. #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

Thanks, Fidel @dragonslayerma.bsky.social for #northstar and for anchoring #promptcombo this week.

✨ Hi Fidel @dragonslayerma.bsky.social I spotted @victoriaspires.bsky.social lovely beau présent (which I’ll try out) for #northstar #promptcombo – maybe my a e h i l n o r s t anagram (the 10 most common letters in the English language) fits, from the current issue of @manchesterreview.bsky.social

Here's to beautiful reading on an ugly grey wet day where I am!!😀🖐 All the best to Alan and everyone!! 😄 @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #desire #poemsabout #poetry

A second one for #PoemsAbout #desire. @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

For #PoemsAbout #Desire ✨ for @thebrokenspine.co.uk & @alanparrywriter.co.uk I know I need to learn how to edit but this is another one of those that just burst out of me in a fountain of blood and snot. It kind of had to get out, I guess.

#PoemsAbout #desire. Here's one from 1997 that has survived all this time without a re-write. Appreciation to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk and the other folks helping to support this community. #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

Hi @rfsmith.bsky.social and #PromptCombo - here's my offering for #Storm, based on notes made after our summer wind storm #poem #poetry

#promptcombo. Thank you @rfsmith.bsky.social for a great #storm prompt. #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry #poetry. This one has no title. It was written after a real event.

Good morning! Happy Halloween! For #PoemsAbout #Blood This is also for a prompt where the first line comes from a horror movie--this one "The Sixth Sense." We're seeing Macbeth this weekend, so there may be more blood poems! Thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk
