This Sundays' choice!🙂 @tomsnarsky.bsky.social #smallpoemsunday This one by Stevie Smith. I know it's an obvious one but it still hits hard I think...

Best wishes to all here on #promptcombo #poemsabout And all other great poet/poems arenas on #bluesky. Thanks for all your support and encouragement to me too and our support of others!👍 Have a banging break whatever you get up to! 😀🎄⛄️🎁👏

For this #smallpoemsunday, one from me + a section of Transtömer’s “Streets in Shanghai” translated by Patty Crane.

Written for somewhere else. Just felt right for today and #smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social It's a grey day today again! Happy holidays to all!!😀😀

Feeling a bit flat at the moment. Here's my take on money! @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk Cheers all!👍 #poemsabout #money

#PoemsAbout #Money @thebrokenspine.co.uk The weather and pollution’s got to me… so will probably read others’ works over the weekend. Thank you for reading! 🙏🙏 #Oulens #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry #poetrycommunity #poetry

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

First time posting on this #. I hope you like it. #PoemsAbout #Money @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoets

Friday is fast becoming my favourite day. Can't wait to read everyone else's take on #PoemsAbout #Money @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoets

Bit late on a Sunday but thought I would give it a go!? @tomsnarsky.bsky.social #smallpoemsunday

Here's my #PoemsAbout effort for this week. Happy to provide a glossary if it's a bit too UK-specific for anyone. #YouShouldntHave (or, for some I spotted, #YouShouldn'tHave put the apostrophe in) @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

Morning poets! This week's #PoemsAbout prompt, #YouShouldntHave veered off into a dark place - got to go where the muse takes you, right? Happy Friday. And thanks as ever to @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk 💜

Not been in the loop at the moment due to other stuff but just a quick go to get those little grey cells going hopefully!😃 #promptcombo #thispoem @victoriaspires.bsky.social

Les courbes d’un mercredi matin en novembre.

They folded the flag corner by careful corner honor kept in a triangle box. One dog tag, medals with meaning illegible with distance and time. Mantelpiece memories, all that remains are echoes of the coffin closing. @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poemsabout #dogtags #poem #poetry #4amwritersclub #poemaday

Good morning #BlueskyPoetry pals @thebrokenspine.co.uk & @alanparrywriter.co.uk facilitating today’s #PoemsAbout #DogTags this fag packet offering is for a friend’s husband, Dave who was killed in Afghanistan in 2012. He was military police not army but she wears his ID.Dogtag jewellery is a thing.

Anxiety. Walk on wet sand, compacted enough to support your weight, a line of footprints behind you. Sense of self firm as the name engraved on a dog tag. Then the sand is water logged, striding feet consumed. What castle to build of this, what name to make out on the gleaming tag? #PoemsAbout

For #poemsabout #Dogtags @alanparrywriter.co.uk @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social

This week's #PoemsAbout #DogTags got me thinking about what should the world know about you in an emergency? Thank you to the host @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk and to all of the other writers. #poetry #poem #writing #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets

For #PoemsAbout #DogTags I did not feel I had the right to write. Finally, a meager offering emerged. Thank you to all those who serve and have served. Thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk. #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry

What does it mean to hold onto your name when the world and your mind starts to forget it?This #PoemsAbout #Dogtags looks at memory, identity, and the quiet defiance of holding on. @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Good morning! For #PoemsAbout #DogTags Another tough one! Thank you to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk #Poetry

Hello from my sunny, cold Friday! This is more stream of consciousness, may need tweaking but the closest I could get! #PoemsAbout #dogtags #poetry @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Happy Friday #BlueSkyPoets! #PoemsAbout #DogTags @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social Have a glorious day and weekend! Excited as always to read the amazing artistic work presented here!

Morning poets! Struggled a little with the #PoemsAbout prompt this week, #DogTags. Looking at the history of them I discovered soldiers in the American Civil War pinned paper notes to their backs, so went with that. Happy Friday! 💜 Thanks as ever to @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

#PoemsAbout #DogTags #poem #poetry #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk Composed this piece in July - but it fits well. #HappyFriday #BlueskyPoetry ~ Broken Wings ~

Morning @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk - thanks for the #PoemsAbout #Dogtags prompt. I hope this works if you weren’t a fan. Happy Friday!

This week's @thebrokenspine.co.uk #PoemsAbout theme is #Dogtags I picked the humble tattoo as the skins dog tag. Identity wrapped up on skin. Thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk for another amazing theme. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryprompt

I don’t usually post #PoemsAbout @thebrokenspine.co.uk this early, but I’m taking some antihistamines and may sleep through a good portion of the night, or not. Will post a reel for #DogTags in the comments.

I have done some archaeology in my poetry archive and before there was Cherry Chapstick there was honey lip balm for the cold you meet when snowboarding. it really is a #PoemsAbout #Desire but what do I know I just wrote it (1997, a world away). All the best to @alanparrywriter.co.uk #KeepPosting

This old poem always makes me smile. Any excuse to share it again so here's a second poem for this week's #poemsabout #desire #poetry #poems. Thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk & @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Short and sweet for this week's #PoemsAbout prompt, #Desire. Thought I'd try and get away from the obvious but didn't happen...😆Looking forward to reading others over the weekend. Thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

Hello everyone for this week's @thebrokenspine.co.uk #PoemsAbout. Two Remembrance ceremonies and a Remembrance Day poetry group have knocked the harshness out of me. #Desire has taken me back to writing the intangible. We're on autopilot; keep posting, liking, commenting and reposting. 🔥

For this week's #PoemsAbout #Desire with thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk and all those participating.

More snails I’m afraid! #PoemsAbout #Desire @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk Happy Friday! #parasite #poetry

Thanks @hool415.bsky.social for this weeks #promptcombo #workinglove This is about the overworking that occurs both in writing and in this case baking. My emotions, the frustration sometimes spills over into my creative efforts. I need to learn when to pause.
