Is there no #PoemsAbout prompt this week? @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk Apols if I missed the memo. Hope all well.

'A day in the life of someone distracted from watching the Great Tits in the garden' could be a poem by me inspired by spending the morning reading the poems in this brilliant collection. For proper reviews see the back cover on Amazon. Not to be missed. 🛋️⭐🛋️ @throwawayreg.bsky.social

Notes from Various Settees is available on amazon, or if you live in South Yorkshire, maybe by asking me or Roger to drop you a copy off. You never know.

Hi Roger, I'm going to be quoting your poem "The Art Of Knowing Your Clientele" from your wondrous new book "Notes from various settees" at the start of my Wakefield performance as I'm sure these words are meant for me:

A poem for you from my pamphlet Forest Girl. Only a few copies left now, thanks everyone 🙂🌳

#PoemsAbout #InBloom @thebrokenspine.co.uk This may not be the crack you are expecting. I will post a reading in the comments. I will be reading and commenting, but definitely will be behind as I care for the Klee Kai in the cone.

For this week's #PoemsAbout #InBloom @thebrokenspine.co.uk Look forward to reading others later.

For this week's #PromptCombo theme #Nothing with thanks to host @janpsolivagant.bsky.social - I remembered an old poem and tried to post it, but it just wouldn't load, so here's another old one that was also, as it always is at this time of year, in my mind...

Good Morning, #PromptCombo #poets This week's #prompt is #Nothing Negative space, privation, the fertile void of possibility. You decide! @dragonslayerma.bsky.social @victoriaspires.bsky.social @hool415.bsky.social @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social @rfsmith.bsky.social #poetrycommunity

Hullo @janpsolivagant.bsky.social #promptcombo #nothing (*trigger warning: infertility*) Hope you enjoy the week Jan.

Something I scribbled on a train journey many years ago during a period of 'low mood' feels like it fits the brief this week for @janpsolivagant.bsky.social's #promptcombo theme of #nothing ...

Arriving soonish at an Amazon locker near me. Settee being prepared @throwawayreg.bsky.social @zoomburst.substack.com

Freedom within limits from @hool415.bsky.social for this week's #PromptCombo #Free40. Here's my response, off-the-cuff if a touch melancholy. Looking forward to reading other responses from the #PoetryCommunity during the week

Evening @hool415.bsky.social - thanks for this nudge of a prompt. Here is a bit of silliness from two mates I see on my dog walk everyday. 😊 #PromptCombo #free40

For this week's #PromptCombo #Free40 - a tricky challenge from @hool415.bsky.social - I think I've just scraped in under the limit. Will try to catch up with others later.

For #PoemsAbout #Spent ✨ for @thebrokenspine.co.uk & @alanparrywriter.co.uk When you give everything you have but it still isn’t enough.

Hullo. But late to the party today so have to rely on an old one. Cheers @brokenspinejournal.bsky.social @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poemsabout #spent #poetry

Good morning! Some people know my older sister died on Monday. I didn't participate last week. It was a long week. I'll come back later to read this week's poems for #PoemsAbout #Spent Thank you as always to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk for providing this poetry platform.

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

I love Fridays, or #PoemsAbout day as I now call them. Here is my offering, and I look forward to seeing all of yours 😁 #Spent @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poetry

Good morning @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk and the #PoemsAbout #poetry peeps this is my offering for #Spent but I’ve had no time to juggle about for it. Very rough round the edges and a bit bleak (me and the poem) back to look late this afternoon. Have a good poeting day all.

Morning Friday here’s my little “throwaway” poem for #PoemsAbout #Spent and many thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry have a great weekend everyone everywhere 🚮🛋️🗑️🛋️

For #PoemsAbout #Spent @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Thank you very much @victoriaspires.bsky.social for your #PromptCombo #Rupture. Inspired by @sueimnw.bsky.social's witty #haiku I was hoping to produce something light and witty about 'a secret rupture' but it all got a bit gloomy....

A #LiftToTheSky for Mike O'Brien @zoomburst.substack.com for his support for other poets, including through publication in print and online, and for his commentary on poets and poetry. His latest piece includes the great news of the upcoming publication of poems by @throwawayreg.bsky.social

For this week's #PromptCombo #Rupture with @victoriaspires.bsky.social I could have gone heavy, but I didn't...

Afternoon Friday here’s my little “throwaway” poem for #PoemsAbout #UndertheSkin and thank @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk Hope everyone everywhere has a great weekend

For this week's #PoemsAbout #UnderTheSkin @thebrokenspine.co.uk my mind went off in very different directions - didn't know which to go with, so went with both...

For this week's #PromptCombo #AChangeOfUse with @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social Will try to catch up with everyone later.

Intriguing #PoemsAbout prompt today #Undressed, so it will be fascinating to see what the #PoetryCommunity makes of it. Here's my response, a sideways take on the oldest story of all. Many thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

For #PoemsAbout #Undressed with thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Afternoon Friday here’s my little ‘throwaway’ poem for #PoemsAbout #Undressed and thank @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry #poems and hope everyone everywhere has a great weekend 🛋️🛋️🛋️
