The man is not what he seems. He never was. But it's fine because I respect myself more than I am led by desire and this does me the world of good. #vss365 #man #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems #blueskypoetry

I strive for equilibrium as I seek to conduct myself in alignment with some universal maths. #vss365 #conduct #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems #blueskypoetry

I, tempest look upon sunny days and am still shaken. For that is my nature, I am disruptor and clearer of the ways. Behold - my spring wildness as the days lengthen and the storm of change is only a breath away. #vss365 #tempest #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems #blueskypoetry

Sometimes I like to stand in the garden, ballooning, as the wind blows a gale up my trousers. @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social #fragmentsfriday #18words #micropoem #poetry #eidmubarakeveryone

Yes, I will partake in some tea and cake, though the world is careening into some kind of abyss. For the sun is smiling again, despite everything and touches that little voice in me that hopes against hope that all will be well. #vss365 #partake #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 71036: Writing for a living can be fun. But it isn't fun all the time. That's because it's a job, and a job comes with deadlines, responsbilities, pressure, rejection and stress. If you want your writing to be fun ALL the time, then don't make it your job.

I bask in the warmth of your smile and momentarily forget my purpose. #vss365 #warmth #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems

"No one puts Baby in the corner!" I yelled as a man in hi-vis passed me on the corner then ran off, terrified. #vss365 #corner #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems

Some might say I'm a bonny lass, but the world gets only more crazy so I am in very short supply of whimsy right now. #vss365 #bonny #micropoems #tinypoems #writingdaily #blueskypoetry

It’s always disappointing to finish a book, where it wasn’t terrible enough to stop reading mid-book, but once you’ve finished, it was decidedly not good.

With the lightning strike of realisation, I see how the veil is dropped from the world and bit by dreadful bit, the truth is unearthed. #vss365 #lightning #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems

I am spellbound by the casual art of light dancing on water, showing me how to be un- done by a single holy shaft of sun. #vss365 #spellbound #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems

What is happening to the planet? This velocity of change, this spiritual overhaul. Hard, not to be distracted by the bad and the ugly when you strive only to do one tiny beautiful thing after another, hoping to create a ripple. #vss365 #velocity #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems

You chisel and hone your stellar- born soul, make ready for revolution. For everything exists in spirals, moves in circles. Sunrise to moon- rise, birth to rebirth. #vss365 #stellar #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tinypoems #promptpoems

I move in silence these Payne's grey days, while the moon wanes and slumbers soft. A white cat crosses my path. A stranger smiles knowingly. #vss365 #knowingly #dailywritingprompt #micropoems #tankapoems #paynesgreydays *photo by Andrew Beatson

This one hits hard.

"Lacuna Matata!" "No! It's Hakuna Matata." "Oh. My bad." #vss365 #lacuna #blueskypoetry #dailyhaikuprompt #writingcommunity #micropoem

Softly, and not without pain, we knit ourselves together in the dark, made of blood and lust, fate and consequence. #vss365 #dark #blueskypoetry #dailyhaikuprompt #writingcommunity #micropoem

In the ache of the days I wonder what fresh horror awaits me as I switch on the news. #vss365 #ache #blueskypoetry #dailyhaikuprompt #writingcommunity #micropoem

My hair has begun to pale at the root as if touched by lightning or the silvery moon. I embrace the crone who streaks though me for she always knows best how to rest, how to hex. #vss365 #pale #blueskypoetry #dailyhaikuprompt #writingcommunity #micropoem

I made myself an AI FREE stamp for any creative workshops I'm running so that people can use it on their work if they like, and as a general reminder.

Don't remove the racist post. Remove the racist from his post.

Excavation of the tomb of Akhet-Hetep at Giza revealed a monument to his mother Peseshet, the "Overseer of Women Physicians." She is the world's earliest known woman doctor, and practiced at the time of the building of the great pyramids in Egypt, about 2500 BC. #CelebratingWomen

Life advice: - be kind to service workers & tip well - don't curse the moon, because it can hear you - learn enough black magic to cause some gentle mischief - be the mossy forest horror you want to see in the world

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 276: Use dialogue to break up narrative. It doesn't have to be much, but it helps to have a section of dialogue once every four or five pages...

In the old days, good writers got famous for selling books. Nowadays, bad writers sell books by being famous.

"This'll make me millions," thought Picasso, as he painted another wonky woman to add to his wackadoodle collection. #vss365 #wonky #blueskypoetry #dailyhaikuprompt #writingcommunity #micropoem (Weeping Woman, Picasso, 1937)

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
