If you want to read a wonderful collection of brilliant poems (and one from me) you could do not better than #UnwhisperedLegacy The link to download is below. It would also be great if you could join us for the Zoom launch on the 1st May. Hopefully we can raise some funds for MSF as well.

Sitting here. Trying to be strong. Waiting to grieve. Writing helps pass sluggish hours that still don't seem like enough time. #MPPrompt

My contribution to this week's #PoetsOfDoom prompt. I don't think it's finished, I think I need to add a few stanzas in the middle to showcase the dancers, and how the Vixunè controls them. But I'm pretty happy with the start #poetry #blueskypoet #poem #fantasy

Here's my contribution for this week's #PoetsOfDoom #AmpersandAfterDark 013 (note, my Japanese is rusty so if this needs correction, please be respectful.) Omokage, the demon from my dreams and my past. #poetryprompt #poetrycommunity #writing #poetry #prompt

A trianza poem format, a form I created in 2025. The #trianza blends elements of three #poetry styles: #Haiku Waltmarie-style echo #Acrostic #madmarch #forget #prompt #poem #writing #5amwritersclub

Hello #PoetsOfDoom people. Feel free to run riot with this week's prompt. The only restriction is your imagination. If you can, tag us so we don't miss it, and use alt text on images to help out the visually impaired 💚🖤🩵🩶 I can't wait to see what you do ❤️

Would you look at that! I have two #poems in the Spring 26 edition of Pennine Platform. What joy! Promoting Poetry since 1973, and now promoting me! Well... I feel like I've had a promotion.

For this week's #PoemsAbout #inbloom @archivewhisperer.bsky.social and I collaborated to create this piece. All credit to her for the visuals and inspiration. Thank you to the host @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk and to all of the other writers. #poetry #poem #writing

In honor of #NoKingsDay Here is a #PoemsAloud called In the Voice of Donald Trump. (Please forgive my less than great Trump impression 🤣) I will put the piece in the comments. #poetry #blueskypoet #poem #trump

#PoemsAbout #Bloom A seed, A sapling Memory That germinates The space between The origin And ending of Our destiny. My thoughts They nurture And it blooms Reminds me of A thousand hues Of joyful colour Shared before Fate intervened. The smile I thought you stole, I found again. #poetry #poem

Calling all troubadours! An idea. Post your audio poems. Tag them #PoemsAloud so they're easy to find & share. That's the idea. 🥳 Why? #PoemsAloud syncs perfectly w/ #PoemsAbout or can stand on its own. Some poems live beyond the page. I recorded a bunch & don't know what else to do w/ them 🤷‍♀️

I am having an awful time at the moment as I am currently in hospital keeping vigil at my mom's bedside, waiting to say goodbye. This is a poem I wrote about her a while ago. It seems a fitting tribute to share here. Love you Mom 🩶 #PoemsAbout #InBloom @thebrokenspine.co.uk

#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.

#PoemsAbout #InBloom innocence left we measure glances intent sharpened, mercy circling gravity, we pretend isn’t already closing in. restraint fractures-nuclear masks slip without apology. we mistakenly bloom- this is what remains when the dark agrees; lives perish to the richness of a floweret.

This is the year for the unexpected. Out of the blue a previous publisher of mine tells me they want to publish my next book.

Age they never tell you in your teenage rage that someday you'll sit by their bedside their breathing labored and gasping and you'll pray it ends soon and you'll regret #poetry

#SatSplat He found a melody inked on the small of her back, and strummed its notes. She stirred, but the song that escaped her lips was more like the moans of winter wood than music, her words, petals of morning flowers, while naked pages fell all about them, like unwritten poetry.

Crawling to the window Peeking through the slats Figures skulking in the street Bunch o' dirty rats Slipping through a side door Running from The Mob Try to keep one step ahead It's all part of the job The #vssdaily #prompt for 3/28/26 was #slat
