#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

This one took a very long time. (It's quite a lengthy one, and only a first draft.) another for the nonsense fantasy creature compendium. This one is an origin story. #AmpersandAfterDark #poetry #blueskypoet #poem #fantasy #nonsense

Nightmare restrained me held me down at needlepoint. It didn't scare me until needles grew larger, and pointed at my heartseams... #horrorprompt #needlepoint #tanka #tankaboutit #poem #poetry #micropoem #micropoetry

Depression is comfortable, like an old pair of shoes. But they don't quite fit right and you're not sure how. #pennedreveries #poetry #writing #depression

The Shape of a Ghost "Spirits are shaped by a person's last moments of life. Their strongest desires and emotions, and even their own perception of themselves coming forth as an ethereal shadow of what that person once was." By looking at this ghost, ¿What do you think lead to this appearance?

Baltimore is not playing around with their street art. Straight to the point. B-more is not a game. Don't play with that city, remember...Tupac's mom left Baltimore for the projects...for a better life.

#Writing #poetry at dawn before I can will myself out of bed to get coffee, or type the #poem I actually meant to write for this initially. This was fun though, a funny memory with hidden weight, if you will. Enjoy 🤗 @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poemsabout #gravity #6amwritersclub

Inner Conflict #Art by Udara Dissanayake

I W H E R E T H E L A S T P E T A L H E S I T A T E S I There’s a moment when something doesn’t quite end… it just lingers. A study of quiet decay, fragile memory, and the beauty that remains when everything else lets go. — The Asylum Art — Art and words by Yves #art #flower #cptsd

In lieu of writing a new piece (I might manage something in the next day or two) here's an Ekphrastic piece to a painting entitled Eschatological. For #promptcombo #visions @rfsmith.bsky.social

I traipse paths ventured when we were feral and young, heart open to you. The lean to’s we built, I seek refuge there, in memory. #haikufeels #open #tanka #tankaboutit #micropoem #micropoetry #poem #poetry #6amwritersclub

Your embrace affirms what I already hoped for, and yes, I love you too. #haikufeels #affirm #haiku #senryu #3lines #micropoem #micropoetry #poem #poetry #6amwritersclub

My sister friend will be in the hospital for the next x amount of days for an intensive surgery and subsequent recovery. So either you will be seeing so much writing from me here, you'll start wishing I'd shut tf up... or this is a "love y'all, see ya next week". Middle grounds? What are those? 😅

#SaveTheDate 19th April 2026 I'm delighted to announce that my Poet Page/Profile with 6 #poems will appear on the Sixty Odd Poets substack. Many Thanks to @zoomburst.substack.com for making this possible! Link available on the day #PoetsOfBluesky #PoetryCommunity #PromptCombo #PoemsAbout

I channel my mother for potlucks and gatherings over five people, otherwise I don't believe my sanity would survive. #haikufeels #channel #tanka #tankaboutit #poem #poetry #micropoem #micropoetry #poemaday #6amwritersclub #5amwritersclub

I don’t say this lightly, this has been years in the making. I’ve worked with some of the finest poets I’ve come across, building this series: ten collections in total. Three waves of three — and one final, bumper anthology that will bring the whole project together. #TheWhiskeyTree #Wave3

This isn’t just another open mic. It’s something held together through hard times. If you’ve ever needed a room, this is one. #PoemsAbout #OpenMic #Return

Memory watches with lidless eyes, as people wander their short days. Streets change, become overgrown marks of their passing. #tanka #tankaboutit #poem #poetry #micropoem #micropoetry

Day 11 of the #WombwellRainbow Ekphrastic Challenge 2026. Incompatible we are, a chimera's misshapen body forced to coexist. Now a memory. #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #ekphrastic

You don't like mommy kisses before your breakfast. A boy who's growing to know boundaries. Instead your third eye meets mine, connection deepens. Where you are today, who you will be tomorrow. what you will do next. #haikufeels #deepens #haiku #senryu #WIP #micropoem #micropoetry #poem #poetry

His mind emerges foggy, not fully awake. Mine has run away to make a thousand mistakes on the way to the coffee. #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #senryu #tanka #tankaboutit #micropoem #micropoetry #poem #poetry #6amwritersclub

#poemsabout #theedgeofknowing @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk For this week I present a pantoum/haiku combo. I looked at the prompt and chose to write it from the perspective of a teenager, recalling the days where everyone thought they knew everything. #poem #poetry #writing
