Hi @hool415.bsky.social Ju, here's my first response to your excellent #promptcombo #workinglove. It describes the effect of temporarily having 99% hearing loss due to a middle ear blockage:

For this week's #promptcombo #workinglove with very understanding host @hool415.bsky.social , an old one which I think fits. Look forward to reading others later.

at the fringe of night the sound of a closing door creaking on its failing hinges & of crickets going quiet & of some bro- ken breaths & lost s.l.nt counts from one to ten to to naught #PoemsAbout #lockeddoors #Oulens @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social

#LockedDoors #PoemsAbout #poem #RhymeRoyal #MentalHealth @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

An old poem of mine that I can't exactly say where it came from and I'm still not sure what it means for me. It was inspired by "The Room" by Kevin Hart, the Anglo-Australian poet-theologian, not the US comedian. For #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

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

#Poemsabout #lockeddoors #poetry @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk I always believe you can go home again. There is no guarantee anyone will be left to greet you.

A better draft! #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors write.as/robgalpin/he...

My contribution to this week's #poemsabout prompt #lockeddoors is very short and probably should come with a trigger warning for suicide. With thanks to @thebrokenspine.co.uk. Am not tagging anyone else due to subject matter

Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk for yet another thought-provoking #PoemsAbout prompt #LockedDoors. Here's my response and I look forward to catching up with others later #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets

A poem about raw grief and trauma, even if they're not mine. #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors for @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Here’s one for #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

We had our own language of words, looks, touch— telepathic mind stuff, we read each other like custom made books... #LockedDoors #PoemsAbout @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

My #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors was a bit of a hurried affair - which is ironic considering the subject matter! And yes I know she’s a hermaphrodite -maybe that’s my picturebook-writing coming through or maybe it’s significant - you decide! 😊Thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk 🥰 @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry

What's up my fellow poets! Are we looking behind #LockedDoors! #PoemsAbout @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social Have a most lovely day! #KeepWriting!

For #poemsabout #LockedDoors @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

Welcome one and all for this week's @thebrokenspine.co.uk for the #PoemsAbout theme of #LockedDoors, and why they might be locked, what lies behind them. Until Alan returns please keep the sharing and feedback alive. It took a long time to build #PoemsAbout to the community it is today. 🎯

#PoemsAbout #LockedDoors @thebrokenspine.co.uk I will put a reel in the comments, or I won’t.

For this week's #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors with thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk and all those participating. Not what I thought I'd write...

I'm never sure whether I find @thebrokenspine.co.uk prompts traumatic or cathartic! Either way, here is my contribution this week (get a cuppa - it's long!) #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoets

It’s after midnight so here’s my piece for #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors ‘Saturday Exile c.2002’ Another excellent prompt. @thebrokenspine.co.uk Looking forward to reading and replying on Friday and over the weekend

“The deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.” ~ E.

On this day, November 4th 1918, a week - almost to the very hour - before the Armistice, the poet Wilfred Owen was killed in action. He was 25. Here is my recording of one of his most famous poems. Dulce Et Decorum Est #warpoetry #poetrycommunity #poetsonbluesky

#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.

This strange offering is aiming to be a metaphorical piece, about aging if that's not obvious. It's literal too and experimental for me. The cold and damp weather is getting into my joints. For @rfsmith.bsky.social #PromptCombo #Storm

I've read some great responses to @rfsmith.bsky.social's brilliant #PromptCombo #Storm. Here's mine: a fragment of memory which might be worth developing a bit more #BlueSkyPoets #PoetryCommunity

Good morning, Bluesky. Hope your weekend was just what you needed and you’re set up for the new week. I’ll be playing catch up with Christmas baking orders this week after a ‘Mum Emergency’ last week. Meantime, today’s #photooftheday is an Autumnal #LochFleet Have a good one #Scotland #autumn
