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

The sorrow which with people must 'wear' the weight of war on their skin can be so palpable that it hurts others just to see it. How to hold that with reverence requires very few words, doesn't it? #poemsabout #dogtags @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #staycreative
