I may be stretching the #subtext a bit on this one, but I'm still working on a terza rima, so could well have another go later. #PromptCombo @victoriaspires.bsky.social #poems #poetry #writingcommunity

Thank you @victoriaspires.bsky.social for your intriguing #PromptCombo #Subtext. I'm trying here to explore what lies beneath the paint: not sure if it's quite there yet so I'm looking forward to feedback from the #PoetryCommunity

Hello @victoriaspires.bsky.social for #promptcombo #subtexts in solidarity with my autistic son who is taking GCSE English later this year and really struggles to decipher meanings which to him, are hidden. He finds chemistry far more accessible. Originally published in The Alchemy Spoon

Boundary Conditions is inspired by this week's #PromptCombo #subtext. Thanks to @victoriaspires.bsky.social for the theme (sans terza rima). #poems #poetry #writingcommunity

A wee poem about what the land remembers (and we too often forget to hear) for #PromptCombo #subtext. Thanks @victoriaspires.bsky.social for a tricky prompt and apologies for not being brave enough to tackle the terza rima! #poems #poetry #writingcommunity #decolonisation

Morning #PromptCombo crew. It's me hosting this week and the theme is #Subtext. This poem is a #terzarima and very much not in my usual style (written as an exercise with @noelcowley.bsky.social some while ago). You don't have to write one, though (I know how much @hool415.bsky.social hates form) 😁

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

With apologies for the late Friday post to #PoemsAbout #TimeSlips. As usual, gracious hat tip to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

Didn’t write anything for #PoemsAbout #TimeSlips. Today’s #vss365 prompt #sear inspired to write a quick combo piece. For @thebrokenspine.co.uk @blsamaddar.bsky.social 🙏 as always for the read! Will read others but pending notifications first 🙏 #Oulens #BlueskyPoetry #SmallPoemSunday (in advance)

Very busy week and only found a quick moment for a response to the #PoemsAbout prompt, #TimeSlips - but then sort of enjoyed the time constraint! Will catch up on the others over the weekend. Thanks as ever to @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk. Happy Friday poets! 💜

For #PoemsAbout #TimeSlips, I shared this elsewhere in Dec.* The world does as it pleases, but we're in conversation with it, & there’s agency in that. We don’t know what’s possible until we try. Go bravely, then. Try. #Compassion *[written before events in MN. Some actions are gravely final. 💔]

Good morning! For #PoemsAbout #TimeSlips I'm fascinated by time. 😊 Thank you as always to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

For #PoemsAbout #TimeSlips With thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for this week's #PromptCombo #TakingItUpstairs – from my @salopress.bsky.social book. Haussmann was the chap who pretty much razed Paris in the 1800s under Napoleon, replacing the medieval street layout with vast boulevards and vistas.

Many thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk for your #PoemsAbout prompt #TimeSlips. This song immediately came to mind: if by any chance you don't know it, listen here: open.spotify.com/track/43IYZ1... Looking forward to reading other responses

Hullo @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poemsabout #timeslips @thebrokenspine.co.uk Enjoy the fest all!

#PoemsAbout #TimeSlips @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk I wrote a prose poem for this week's prompt #TimeSlips, a longer poem, thank you for reading!

Hello @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk thanks for this week’s #PoemsAbout prompt #TimeSlip Not sure if this hits the mark. it’s all that occurred to me this am after a migraine yesterday. I’ve never successfully written about one and this doesn’t change that! #poetrycommunity #poetry

Here's a poem for #poemsabout #timeslips with thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk for the space.

#PoemsAbout #TimeSlips A Crack in the Snow Globe

Hete's the first sonnet from my sequence "Our Wombwell Woods" A memory can be a #PoemsAbout #Timeslips for @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk.

For this week's #PoemsAbout theme #TimeSlips with thanks to @thebrokenspine.co.uk and everyone participating.

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

Morning @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk This #PoemsAbout #TimeSlips was sparked by a poem earlier in the week by @hool415.bsky.social for #PromptCombo His was about getting up the stairs - mine’s about hitting the ground! It hit a nerve! #poetry

Another Friday, another #PoemsAbout. Welcome one and all. A difficult theme, #TimeSlips, for me anyway. At the point of giving up something appeared. It's about the feeling; nothing specific. A first draft. Too vague perhaps. @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #PoetsOnBluesky

Hullo Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social and to #promptcombo #takingitupstairs Do you need trigger warnings for the mildly depressing, though I hope it’s still mainly just a little whimsical.

A New Year starter pack boost for some of my favourite packs. A thread starting with @uhume.bsky.social's #Writers, #Artists, #Seekers & Others pack. Please follow them and repost the pack #booksky #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity

Delighted that my poem The Inevitable has found a home in The Courtship of Winds #poetrycommunity #poetsonbluesky

For #PromptCombo #TakingItUpstairs with the incredibly imaginative @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social - this prompt has really thrown me, but...

I am loving everyone's take on the #promptcombo #TakingItUpstairs from @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social Here is my offering. *posted with the caveat that this was inspired by a tv show, and bears no resemblance to anyone I may know, alive or dead.

Thank you, Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for your intriguing #PromptCombo. Not much inspiration so far, but here's an off the cuff response to be going on with. Looking forward to reading more offerings from the #Poetrycommunity of #BlueSkyPoets

Hello Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social and the #PromptCombo crew interesting prompt this week. Had a few minutes this morning but not much inspiration stirring. Still, this is the result of the thinking cap. An idea trying to get out but not very poetic! #poetry #poem #poetrycommunity Thanks all
