idk who needs to hear this but you’re a writer. even if you’re not writing right now. your identity is not dependent on your production.

This poem, yes. The first line grabs you in and then each tercet is like it's own poem within a poem.

An old favorite - I think this is the first of my poems to have won awards, and it's won several.

I love to escape to the water, whether river, lake, or sea. The #poetry of it is sound, sight, smell, and movement. Enough sensory details a #poem should be written with soft imagination touch. #bluesky #amwriting #sailing #poetrycommunity

I am going to post a #poem a day during #Advent to spread a little #Christmas cheer. Starting with ADVENT 1955 by John Betjeman. Do think about buying a book of #poems for your loved ones this Christmas 🥰

Grand Rising. I wondered about those who erected the stones of #Stonehenge and what they wrote. Did they have #poetry? How was a #poem written? With drawings? Between Summer and Winter #Solstice, what Stonehenge #poems would you write?

Here is Mutsu's northern coast, Japan. Here, I would meditate, write #poem s and #haiku while thinking of those that wrote on these shores before me. You can smell the fish here, a humble place of simplicity, while the clouds dance swaying as orchestra playing opus in the wind. #amwriting #bluesky
