#poemsabout #static #poetry @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk I am excited to follow this prompt's posts! Static can be so many things. Here is mine

Thank you for reading and sharing today's poem - My Sister Went to Live on the Moon by @suefinch.bsky.social

You found the words, Carolyn. A piece a lot of people can relate to, well told.

For this week's #PoemsAbout #Static, I'm thinking about interference and what contaminates the signal. Thank you to the host @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk and to all of the other writers. #poetry #poem #writing #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets

That final turn — static as mendacity — lands hard.

Really grateful to William Ray the excellent editor of The Courtship of Winds for publishing this poem. And here’s my recording of it. The Inevitable #poetrycommunity #poetsonbluesky #triggerwarning

It definitely fits the prompt and it definitely needed to be written, Carolyn…

The raw high voltage of terror static, most definitely fitting the brief Carolyn. 💥⚡🔥

White noise and the lies. So true, Carolyn. Thank you for writing this. I'm glad this murder (calling it what it is) is getting attention across the pond.

#PoemsAbout #static has me mindful of white noise in relationships Thank you to host @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

Good morning! It's great to be back to #PoemsAbout #Static. Thank you to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk .

A bit late so I just repurposed something I wrote a couple of months ago ❤️ #poemsabout #static #dementia @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

Hello @thebrokenspine.co.uk for this first New Year #PoemsAbout #Static and welcome @alanparrywriter.co.uk. This week I'm trying out 'functional white space'. Not my favourite but for this it felt better than a rash of commas. 😬

I missed this prompt so much over the holidays, so I've done two poems to celebrate its return. This is the first one. #PoemsAbout #Static @thebrokenspine.co.uk

This is my second offering, written after waking the dog in last night's snowstorm! #PoemsAbout #Static @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Hello there #PoemsAbout poets on this 1st of the year #static Thanks as always to host @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk Here’s my dashed off contribution. I didn’t realise the challenge had been set until 30 minutes ago! Will keep an eye out for the rest of you. #poetrycommunity

#PoemsAbout #Static @thebrokenspine.co.uk I will put a reading in the comments.

Welcome back to #PoemsAbout and this week's theme #Static with thanks to @thebrokenspine.co.uk and everyone taking part. Not having a great week, but hope to catch up with others later.

An alluring vignette on the heady delights of pareidolia. I adore "the portents of apocalyptic clouds / surrender[ing] to the kindness of the dark." 🙏🏆🌠

This will be a great event. Thrilled to be among the #notjustpretty poets. More information and Zoom link coming soon #poetrycommunity #blueskypoets #poetssupportingpoets @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social @thebrokenspine.co.uk

I am in a dreamland, alive to the personification and motives of the inanimate, and the quixotic mood of nature's gifts and gargoyles, the augury of the clouds my fate or fortune. Or else it's a bedtime story perhaps. Just riffing Carolyn. 😊

What a beautiful, peace-giving piece, Carolyn. 💙

Yes, great clouding!!

It's such a joy to have you start the year with us #PromptCombo. Wowzier, this is just fabulous - your use of colour has me hankering for summer days again.Your description of those clouds & those drunken moths! Bravo, my darlin ♥️ Here's your🏅for using #Nightfall in your piece

For #PromptCombo #Nightfall and wonderful host, Fidel @dragonslayerma.bsky.social just a thought... Look forward to catching up with others later.

A very good morning my #PromptCombo darlings! We have reached the halfway point of my hosting duties. Here's a recording of me reading my poem 'Unforgettable Beauty that is #Nightfall' Thanks @thepaulconnolly.bsky.social , for this tip on this method of recording 😉 Big ♥️ Love Everyone.

@dragonslayerma.bsky.social Happy New Year! #nightfall is a fine #promptcombo start to 2026. I’m flat out on post-Xmas back-to-work this week. But our great friend @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social just published 3 pieces of mine (👆with recording) about the pandemic’s long nightfall #poetrtcommunity

Yay- #promptcombo is back! Here is one I prepared earlier! #nightfall @dragonslayerma.bsky.social The Day Blades

Hullo @dragonslayerma.bsky.social Fantastic theme Fidel of #nightfall for #promptcombo this week! Thank you for getting us all going with such a cracker.

Hi @dragonslayerma.bsky.social Fidel. Here's my first response to your stonking #promptcombo #Nightfall. A little serious whimsy:

My contribution to #promptcombo nightfall is found in alt-text Thanks to @dragonslayerma.bsky.social for hosting! #poetry #photography #FaeSense

Good morning, Fidel @dragonslayerma.bsky.social and the #PromptCombo crew. I posted this photo last week and decided that another wee #poem on #nightfall might be in order for this week’s prompt. I like the photo more than the poem, but still..

I love it when prompts coincide with suitable poetry fodder! #PromptCombo #Nightfall #Footprint #WildWalkPrompt #SnowboundPath #BlueSkyPoetry

@dragonslayerma.bsky.social #PromptCombo #nightfall

I'm a bit of a day late, because It took longer than I expected to write this... also i broke the rules a bit.. 🤣 But this is for #AcrosticJanuary #Gentle and #promptcombo #nightfall. (And a new form I've never tried called Virelai, because i hate myself and acrostic isn't hard enough apparently 😅)

Thanks @dragonslayerma.bsky.social for our first 2026 #promptcombo. My #nightfall poem is steeped in ancient Turkish traditions, superstitions and folklore. Happy new year to all. #poetry #poems

Thanks @dragonslayerma.bsky.social for the first #promptcombo of the year - #nightfall is a great choice. Bit slow getting up to working speed today but here's a quick poem to wish everyone a happy new year #poetry #poems
