#poemsabout #poetry #poem #undressing #writingcommunity @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk As I've done of late, I've let Poems About add onto a draft of a larger project. This segment is a sonnet broken up into other segments and ending in a haiku. I hope you enjoy it.

she is undressed, her modesty dissolves, his bedroom eyes tracing her frame, those curves, an ancient refrain- every kiss a sweet soft raindrop, every touch, a reminder of what love could be #poemsabout @thebrokenspine.co.uk #foxprose #ourpoetryx #grimscribe #wildwalkprompt #bedroomeyes #poetry

The second of the two I wrote this week for #poemsabout #undressed. I believe it also incorporates a #horrorprompt from earlier this week of #silentrage, if I'm not mistaken. @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #skypoem #skypoetry

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

@daveashleypoet.bsky.social I wanted to come up with some clever wordplay and hidden meanings, but I'm tired and have a cold, so this is the best I could do. #FreeVerseFebruary #Parapraxis #Poetry

For context "Tightrope" is a song by a band called Lacuna Coil. @nathanbrazil.bsky.social #vss365 #Lacuna #Poetry

It's Friday, and #PoemsAbout. Welcome all who write, read, like, comment, share. I went down a dark path this week for #Undressed, the outcome of watching a documentary series about propaganda; vulnerability from the wrong angle. After a hasty Thursday rewrite something more mellow emerged.

Here's a poem I wrote for this week's #poemsabout #undressed. Thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk & @alanparrywriter.co.uk for the prompt and everyone for already amazing contributions! #poems #poetry #poetrycommunity

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

#PoemsAbout #Undressed

Another one of those weeks when we've all written about exactly the same thing for #PoemsAbout, right? Ah well. #Undressed @thebrokenspine.co.uk #blueskypoetry #poetrycommunity #poetry

#vss365 without a warm voice in my head can't keep those inner demons from feasting they know all my soft places know just the right words "uncomfortable" "weird" "pathetic" "unwanted" and they tear me to pieces until there's nothing left just a #lacuna where i can store my darkest thoughts

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 13 is #lacuna “lagoon? No, lacuna . . . different from lagoon. Not a cave exactly but an opening, like a mouth, that swallows things. He opened his mouth to show. It goes into the belly of the world.” Barbara Kingsolver #13 Definition: Lacuna - Unfilled space, gap

Soft steps borrow the floorboards Not seen is my favorite shape Every pause opens a door Air learns my outline Kept quiet, I pass #thingstowriteabout #prompt #sneak #acrostic #poetry #writing #5amwritersclub

Fingertips curl tight. Eyes narrow to a point. Restraint thins quickly. Outward calm misleads you. Control is not my concern. Impact speaks plainly. Teeth bare without warning. Yield, I do not. #emoetry #ferocity #prompt #poetry #acrostic #writing #poem

Dark, the absence of light in my mind that drags me into that abyss of loathing. No sacred sense of serenity as again I tear myself apart. Bleeding and crying in the dark. (Im really in a good mood) @poetry-with-hart.bsky.social @edwardstjames.bsky.social #TheRivals #Dark #vss365

layer one— this layer is for everyone, it's shy, yet friendly & overly nice to keep the peace— just keep the peace then layer two, this one's got opinions & feelings she keeps in beyond this the layers are endless— molten, ice, fire, glass all the way down to the scared little girl. #mpprompt

The Howl trial was a landmark case for free speech. But ask yourself: How should the state judge "#artistic merit" and does it have a right? Ginsberg happens to be one of my favorite #poets so, with pleasure, here is Howl. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/49303/...

a poem that takes me to a place i have never been a bridge over a generation that never meets in the middle understanding the words of the story unfolding but ecstasy a word only never a sensation for in my day it was drowned a night out was a back door into darkness ecstasy what’s that not me

shaken off the night like water from matted furs drinking in dawn light dreams still struggling to stay keeping dark thoughts at bay #vss365 dark #tanka -ish #smallpoem #micropoem #poetry
