Life has been extremely hectic the last couple of weeks and I've missed a few of these, but this is my effort for #poemsabout #silentplanet Thanks for the prompt @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Matrix comes from the Latin for womb, mother, source. This poem is not about absence, but the silence of listening. Not gone, only unheard. She waits. She pulses. We forgot how to hear her. #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Just remembered this piece which might just fit #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets Thank you, @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

Here's my offering for #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

@thebrokenspine.co.uk #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets Small girl, crouched and voiceless. holding her breath whilst a world recoils - though raped and ravaged - Unable to cry out.

Thursday blue arrives, cracks between the buildings glow- quiet invitation. Footsteps on the stair, the hallway hums with echoes, day unfolding slow. Rainclouds overhead, still the grass holds steady dew, refusing to rush. #poetry #haiku

For #PromptCombo #ClocksTicking & #PoemsAbout #Candlelight, this was in Autumn Sky Poetry, Nov 2020. Bit bleak, but long past. Currently in a season of renewal, & if you've gone through this w/ family, wishing you peace. 'Remember the year a fox' @dragonslayerma.bsky.social @alanparrywriter.co.uk

My response to this week's #PoemsAbout prompt #Candelight turned out to be unusually brief - started as a haiku then expanded a little, but not much! Thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk Happy weekend poets! 💜

Morning #PoemsAbout #Candelight here’s a little “throwaway” poem I threw away earlier and a big thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk hope everyone everywhere enjoys their weekend #poems #poetry

Good morning! Here's my poem for #PoemsAbout #Candlelight. Thank you as always to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk for this opportunity. I'll be away from my computer most of the day, but I'll catch up with reading and commenting over the weekend.

A Tanka by Paul Cannon for: #poemsabout #candlelight with thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Somewhere Somewhere there's a lamp - that you plucked from a box and put on a wall. Somewhere, there's a light - in the stomach of someone who swallows penny shaped batteries, some hope of feeling alive. Somewhere, there's a candle, flickering, smooth. #poemsabout #candlelight

I have a short one today! Only one screenshot instead of three or four Here's my entry for #PoemsAbout #Candlelight. I might change breathes to exists. Or find some better word. @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poetry #amwriting #BlueskyPoets #writersky

For #PoemsAbout #Candlelight with @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk I'm thinking about ritual practices and the commodification of spiritual practices through culutral appropritaion and colonisation. Coming up to samhain, it seems relevant. #poetry

Here's my candle lit offering! #poemsabout #candlelight @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Forgot the hashtags! #embody #haikufeels #prompt

#promptcombo #clocksticking @dragonslayerma.bsky.social Another oldie that felt appropriate! Apologies for wonky copy!😀 "All In Good Time" first gratefully published in Inkshed December 1990.🙏

Sorry, I'm late to posting @thebrokenspine.co.uk I needed to know what the word actually was. With my autism, I struggled with pronouncing it. I hope that this definitely takes you behind the curtain. @alanparrywriter.co.uk #spokenword #PoemsAbout #Facades #poetry #poetofbluesky

Thanks to all for reposts for this weeks #poemsabout and #facades Cheers all! 😀🖐👍

#poemsabout #riots #blueskypoets @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk May the words we write about our theme riots open light and shatter darkness. My heart is heavy with yet another mass shooting. Young beautiful lives shattered and snuffed out by hate.

#PoemsAbout #Riot. Hi everybody, sorry to have been a bit quiet. Here’s a poem from me @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

Reading and learning Can #inflict clear thoughts upon The mind once shallow. #haikufeels

#haikufeels don’t inflict your God on my open mindedness all paths are valid

Good morning! Today's #PoemsAbout #Riots was another difficult one. There's so much history, but now it just like we're waiting for it to happen at anytime now. Thank you to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk for the opportunity each week.

morning Friday here’s my little “throwaway” poem #PoemsAbout #riot and thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk hope everyone everywhere enjoys their weekend #poems #poetry 🚶🏼‍♂️‍➡️

#Poemsabout #riot @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk Not my best subject so had a go!

MEAL PREPARATION onions sliced and diced, some fried peppers, potatoes cut and boiled to perfect bites, cilantro, chives and parsley spreading herbal tartness — salad turned symphony while mustard is kissing honey and olive oil enraptures tongue to sing along #promptcombo #banality

Can't undo the past, You can redo the present, Perfect the future. #Haikufeels #redo #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity

@rfsmith.bsky.social #promptcombo #banality A quick one! Think it fits the theme? Itch In The Heat

Hi Ronnie, @rfsmith.bsky.social. Here's my second for your cracking #promptcombo #banality:

This sufficiently banal for @rfsmith.bsky.social's #promptcombo this week on the topic of #banality? I do hope so.

Good afternoon @victoriaspires.bsky.social and the #PromptCombo crew. Thanks for this week’s #woods prompt. My ranty offering may not be on your radar, and isn’t very poetic, but it’s what emerged so I’m sharing it anyway. Thanks for hosting.
