My pleasure 🫶. I grew up in LA where all the forbidden words are used to describe summer. I actually love these cool summers. Although I miss being able to swim in the ocean without a wet suit.

Thank you.🌹

Thank you, Can't Use Words Poetry Prompt.

You've stolen all my lovely clichés!! I will give it my best shot, but it might be a haiku at this rate!!

and I listen David Ignatow

The sterile, hauntological aesthetics of 1970s school text books. Today's earworm: the shrill, off-key sound of a school recorder.

The opening lines of Wonders of Obligation, a long poem by my favourite poet Roy Fisher, published in a beautiful edition by Braad Editions. ‘…and the afternoon/comes on steely and still/under the heat,’

Book Cover of the Day:

A society that stops reading becomes easy to manipulate.

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Dune (1965) Frank Herbert

Thank you kindly! 💛

@cantusewords.bsky.social? There appears to be a #cantusewords #can'tusewords binary issue!

Nailed it! Another excellent poem, mate. 💛 But I'm confused, it says "Post only on 25th May, not before on this account?" Am I hallucinating? Because if its okay to post now I will... Help a girl out, it is my first day on earth 🥺 #Can'tUseWords @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

Thanks so much Paul. I really enjoyed this and can see me writing more this week.... whilst I hide from the heatwave

#cantusewords #summer #triolet #poem This took a few minutes more that usual. Clever prompt to really make you use your vocabulary

This poem for the new #Can'tUseWords #prompt from @cantusewords.bsky.social was harder for me than I thought it would be, but it seems very appropriate for this rather warm weekend! But it's a great prompt, so have a go, follow it, and share it around. Let's get the word out! #poetry

Marvellous to have a mini feast of Tan Renga and haiga in the midst of forthcoming Summer Feast written by Christina Chin & her fellow writers. Come join with your own writing. Closing dates are 7th June and 7th July. 20th June and 24th July #CantUseWords challenges for you.

When Elaine Weiss was working on her new book, "Spell Freedom," she thought she was writing history. But so many themes from this book are back in today's headlines.

Driving home from the movie my son opened the packs of cards they gave us at AMC and asked if we can get more Hutt toys. He talked about the movie the whole way home and thanked us for a great night. I went to a new Star Wars movie with my son. That’s what matters most to me.

Reading so much Agatha Christie, about a book a day, and I long to live in a stately home and eat cake. All this reading is keeping me from unraveling, so never, ever doubt the power and value of fiction.

Also... The Haiku within this prompt is my submission for the first #Cantusewords prompt, if you haven't seen it yet, go check it out. @cantusewords.bsky.social

Very honoured to be part of this lineup . Why not join us?

I love this…. #BlueSky
