I couldn't come up with a new #poem for #poemsabout #spent this time. I dug around my older posts and diaries for things that could use new life. This was part of a would-be modern retelling of Dante's Inferno... sort of, the concept needs work, lol. Enjoy. @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry #skypoetry

#poemsabout #spent Banjaxed: a common Irish slang term meaning something is broken, ruined, severely damaged, or beyond repair.

This is the kind of thing I almost never write... Leaning into less is more, for @victoriaspires.bsky.social #PoemsAbout #rupture

Still trying to catch up with #PoemsAbout so here’s one for #UnderTheSkin ✨ @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

I love Fridays, or #PoemsAbout day as I now call them. Here is my offering, and I look forward to seeing all of yours 😁 #Spent @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poetry

Muahahaha! I did a thing... or like four.... Contribute. Collab is punk af. Let's go! Enjoy 🤗 #writingcommunity #writing #writers #poets #horror #poetrycommunity #poetsofdoom #fafo

They played games with us, turned brother against brother warehouse hide and seek with our neighbors, then they lit the chambers. A bone snow fell. #tankathursday #game #tanka ##tankaboutit #micropoem #micropoetry #poem #poetry #5amwritersclub #6amwritersclub #skypoem #skypoetry #resist #protest

I tried to be rid of Nightmare, cleaved off her touch her hands, still she comes. #haikuhorrorprompt #cleavedoff #haiku #senryu #3lines #micropoem #micropoetry #poem #poetry #5amwritersclub #6amwritersclub #Nightmare

Past events cleaved off Huge parts of my sorry heart Never growing back. #haikuhorrorprompt #cleavedoff #haiku #senryu

Before the sun kisses you awake, before the Spring colours return here, I write love notes and listen to you sleep, wishing sweet dreams. #retroartprompt #beforethesun #faesense #springcoloursreturn #tanka #micropoem #micropoetry #poem #poetry #5amwritersclub

I once was the seed, sprouting nonsense into the clear Spring air, too young. Morning mist, fogging car windows en route to work, robin crying hope. I became enthralled by traffic's buzz, then took flight as a blackbird, free. #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #senryu #poetry #poem #micropoem #micropoetry

Listen to the wind for answers. Take a breath and she replies, patience. #haikufeels #answer #senryu #haiku #3lines #micropoem #micropoetry #poemaday #5amwritersclub

This went way more directions than I intended, but I'm not unhappy with the results? Enjoy 🤗 #banterbabes #vss365 #orbital #cassiopean #ampersand #poem #poetry #protest #resist

I also really like standwithminnesota.com -- they have a lot of direct aid links and that's DEEPLY needed. We still don't have an eviction moratorium and getting more formal rent assistance takes time that families don't have before they lose their homes.

Givemn.org a great resource to help Minnesotans navigate this BS. Today MN, tommorow, you?

For the #poetsofdoom and their #haibun prompt of #time.

The universe smiled at me tonight during guided meditation infused with Ada Limón’s poetry. Poetry and practice touched me at once, the way only beloved things can. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s a gift. In that spirit, I’m sharing an old piece inspired by a meditation experience.

I've been having massive fights with capitalization, punctuation, and line breaks lately. This may be done, or I may cut it to ribbons. Also no idea if it has a home in a project yet. Anyway, enjoy and best wishes 🤗 #wip #wipwednesday #weirdmicro #residualguilt #promptcombo #rupture #poem #poetry

Nothing prettier than a cardinal in the snow. Still coming down pretty good here in NJ.

Do I want to submit here: obviously. Do I want you to submit here: 1000%. Do I now want to write about my inner child/past self (cuz lets be fuckireal, I was feral) literally throwing bricks:... don't look over my shoulder while I'm writing. #poetrycommunity #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

We did a thing!

Did another quick one using a similar combo as the last. A possible for one of the versions of behind the mirror at any rate. Enjoy 🤗 #BastardPoetsOfDoom #wildwalkprompt #haibun #time #agedparchment #grimscribe #poem #poetry #writing #skypoet #skypoem #skypoetry

it stands witness a white syllable set against eons it was already there when no one was looking snow learning how to vanish we measure ourselves against what does not move and fail beautifully

I may need to tidy it up a bit, but the core of it is solid. A piece meant for mountain mama. Aimed to do a spooky spicy one about old gods rising that'd chill bones... next one eh. #BastardPoetsOfDoom #time #haibun #writing #wildwalkprompt #scar #poem #poetry @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

#BastardPoetsofDoom #haiban @daveashleypoet.bsky.social One of my favorite styles of poetry. Why Bastard? Endearment A butterfly flaps its wings. As the soft tilt of your head makes the world lighter. ⤵️ #Haiku4u #haiban

Still unsure how I feel about that hashtag #BastardPoetsOfDoom 😅 A haibun contribution to this week's theme of time. #poetry #poetrycommunity

Life update: I'm one step closer to loading some of the #zines I've been punching out lately. I should have the first loaded on my kofi before the week is out. Covers may change over time though as I get more #art time in. Fingers crossed 🤞 #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #poets #writers

Bad news, my tax return sucks this year and my health insurance is garbage. Good news, I bought new paints and misc art supplies of doom!! Things about to be fun 😁

How long will we stay this way? where your heart is the beat of my own where as soon as you're gone I long for your return where the feeling of your skin is my religion and thoughts of you are the air I breath in please say— always. #FromOneLine 406

identity there is a pause before the word in that pause a thinning as if identity were only the sound after hesitation #Poetry

A rather quick, personal contribution to #poemsabout Might write something else and gonna read your amazing pieces tomorrow, since I'm a bit preoccupied today. Thanks to @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk for the prompt of #UnderTheSkin I went the literal route this time. #poetry

#Effects the dust has settled on the banister a thin line where her hand used to travel the wood remembers the pressure slightly worn where no one stands outside the river repeats what it has always said stone against water and the hills lean into the long unanswered light #Poetry

Omg, the story in this excellent article just kept getting more tragic. So horrific. 😞 I’m letting these bastards know how I feel. I hope others will, too.

A glimpse of the Hart household: Me asking Chomper while putting on his fave show, "How do you spell Frog?" Him, not even skipping a beat, "With letters" ... The kid is alright lol

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

Repost/fixed a typo. I only have the one offering right now for #poemsabout #prompt #undertheskin. I wanted to do more with it, but the words stayed hidden. Best wishes, enjoy 🤗 @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poem #poetry #poemaday #skypoem #skypoetry #5amwritersclub #6amwritersclub

For this week's #PoemsAbout I attempted something more about the 'wanting that lingers' something softer, more vulnerable; but something else more urgent was #UnderTheSkin. My apologies in that it contains nothing uplifting. I've been snagged by a troubling zeitgeist.
