Sorry, I've been offline a spell. I have a few poems I just haven't typed up or ones I pulled to edit some6 more. I'll hopefully get loaded up for y'all tomorrow. Hoping to treat you to some video readings too soon. So thought hugs and best wishes all around 🤗

I E M B E R S O F T H E F R O Z E N D A W N I A winter world in motion — where light fractures, shadows race, and the dawn feels alive beneath your feet. The piece bursts with color, chaos, and the electricity of a sun fighting through the cold. —The Asylum Art— Art and words by Yves

Flooded yesterday, on fire today...

Fascism and flowers They're painting the roses red to adorn graves of the next war, a new generation of valiant dead. They're painting the roses red and many a tear is shed as “never again” becomes folklore. They're painting the roses red to adorn graves of the next war. #triolet #poem #poetry

Fluttering in the freedom a pervasive violet mist, hope eludes the eyesight. Peripheral illusions as I play the part of the optimist, when I'm really, just lost. #banterbabes #poem #poetry #micropoem #micropoetry

A #triolet #poem about identity. I might find a place for it somewhere. I may play with the concept and refrain line again. Who knows. Enjoy the #poetry all the same 🤗

The #MAGA assholes are at it again. This time, they’re harassing me on my YT channel. I appreciate how supportive y’all have been about the book reviews. Any chance you wanna pop over to YT and drown out the negative a bit? Love y’all!!! Thank you!!! youtube.com/@beckthefemi...

Built a spreadsheet tracker for zine stuff for both our #fafo group, and for my own personal zines today. I never bothered for my submissions to trad publishers before, just relied on my chaos gremlin methods like throwing darts at submittable lol. But this, this was fun for me. I can't explain it 😅

Is it #FAFO Friday yet? Open Mic #poetry reading in our Discord server. Come check us out. Leave a comment below or dm us. We'd be happy to see you and read together. Best wishes 🤗 #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #poets #writers #writing #gratitude

Woot! We're getting there now! $200 raised for the #ACLU by our first #zine. $13 more pending. There is plenty of time to donate to this fundraising campaign if you'd like. If not, no worries. Enjoy a copy of fire #poetry regardless. 🤗 Links below 👇 tilt.fyi/PKGpsIY0UP ko-fi.com/s/b016e5310d

I'm still putting the final touches on this, but I wanted to share the cover art. Tentative release date is Black Friday, 2025! #inspiration #Writing #WriterCommunity #PoetryCommunity #Poem #poetrysky #poetry #firstlook #comingsoon #lonelywritersclubnw

Alo, salut. I consulted numerology, the Honmoon was saved before a meme-ographic memory from the recesses of 2004. Nu ma nu ma iei. The numinous joy colors over all our gray, adoration's painted colors as we live everyday dancing with the light. #blueskyrelay #numinous #poem #poetry #poemaday

We are losing the best of us — Idiots like me remain. But it is idiots who can build new bridges, poems and doors. Hold on to those keys, blessed family. #LockedDoors #PoemsAbout @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #art #streetArt

In the Next Life When the flowers are done And the grasses’ve gone to seed The leaves have fallen Or been shaken from their trees When the wind is cold And the owls ask When the light fades Without twilight It is time to let go Of the comfort Of summer As the fading colors Drain into the cold earth

Tip-top Hip-hop Wordplay sparkles like sequins, Drawing every ear and eye, Words and beat lift spirits high. Wordplay as a skyline sprint, Where struggles and sharp skills meet, In the common, shared street beat. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #hiphop #music #beat

So backstory right. When I was letting the #fafo #poetry server know that this week's #poemsabout was #lockeddoors, it tried to autocorrect to "licked doors." Well, that led to being dared to subject you to a #poem that both was and wasn't the #prompt. Enjoy the giggles. @thebrokenspine.co.uk

I've been too busy to write much this week, but turns out I already had one for #poemsabout #Lockeddoors @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk As always, I tend to not title my sonnets, so this is sonnet 15

Not sure what to say about this one for #poemsabout of #lockeddoors. It's an old one I edited from a would-be collection I have trouble going back to titled "Acts in Madness." Anyway, I have two more simmering for the #prompt, so stay tuned. @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poem #poetry #skypoem #skypoetry
