Will be having a digital hermititude for a while, but I will be posting weekly from my Substack - you can see the frist one here... open.substack.com/pub/jdnutman... #poetry #onwriting #inspiration #substack #writersofbluesky

the poetry competition is pounding at the door; your tithes are overdue

A jazzy (and recently rejected) one, symbolic, and surreal if you imagine your personal anxiety personified as a flat mate walking in on you bitching about them - then you let them have it. #poetsofbluesky #blueskypoets

My answer to a frequent question I get - Do you get inspiration out of nowhere? This article for the SoW Substack was my answer... open.substack.com/pub/sowcic/p... #writinginspo #poetsofbluesky #blueskypoets

Are you struggling to write today? I was too when I was asked to write a blogpost for the ShoutOrWhisper CIC, maybe what I wrote will help you? open.substack.com/pub/sowcic/p... #poetspfbluesky #Writersinspo #writinginspo #blueskypoets

A recording I did of one of my poems will be on BBC Upload tonight, so if you are in the East of England, you will be able to listen to it on your local show (Three Counties, Cambs, Norfolk, Suffolk). #bbcupload #poetsofbluesky

For @hool415.bsky.social and this week's #promptcombo #visitor (s), an old TTT one I had forgotten about from around this time last year. I've not caught up to anyone else's contributions yet but will do so before the week is out 😘

It’s Wednesday. Got a WIP? Doesn’t matter if it’s raw or rolling. If it’s yours, it belongs. Drop a line. Share a note. Let us know where you’re at. #WednesdayWIPs #PoetsOfBluesky #BlueskyWriters #PoemsAbout

Stumbling bleary-eyed upon this spot at dawn one day last month, adding this to my list of poetic sites I have visited!

Lovely news last night of a nomination for Best of the Net from Gothic Keats Press for a poem in their Bryon anthology. Many thanks to Clay. Best of luck to everyone! 🌳🖊️🎉 www.gothickeatspress.com

A poem inspired by the statue of Sappho in Letchworth Garden City, a favourite writing spot of mine. #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #sappho #inspiration #Hertfordshire

In the midst of moving home a thousand-and-one mundane hairsplitting thoughts chase me from bed, I'll be running on fumes today - but I have coffee, a notebook, and October wind browbeating leaves off the trees in oceanic whisper hymns, beckoning the tide of my waking dreams, in. #poem #cantsleep

A video poem inspired partly by dawn walks on the beaches of Catalonia last month, a Jim Morrison quote, and using an unusual narrator to answer my recurring question of "why am I up so early?" - complete with lapping Mediterranean waves and gorgeous views of Sitges. #poetry #blueskypoets #sitges

For this first #PoetryTheme initiated by @thepaulconnolly.bsky.social, here's my #AMPHIBIAN poem. 🐸 #poetry #poetsofbluesky #blueskypoets #poetrycommunity

Hello, Bluesky! I am here for poetry, mainly - the sharing of it, reading of it (when I should be working), and connecting over it. I am fully aware that with no followers, I am currently talking to an empty room - well, there is no authenticity without absurdity, after all. Why am I still talking?
