This anthology gives back. All profits go to UNICEF. Your words build more than a book. #DoveCry #AntiWarPoetry #Charity #PoetryForChange

#PoemsAbout #WhatRemains starts Friday. Not the event— the residue. The object. The silence.

We don’t want theory. We don’t want distance. We want truth. #DoveCry #Slimline #AntiWarPoetry #Poetry

It’s Monday. Name a poet, press, or project that deserves more eyes. That’s #LiftToTheSky.

Write the room after. The silence. The object left behind. #DoveCry #AntiWarPoetry #WritingPrompt

After everything—what’s still there? #PoemsAbout #WhatRemains — write what cannot be undone.

If it didn’t touch you, don’t dress it up. This call is not for everyone. It is for those who have known war. #DoveCry #Slimline #AntiWarPoetry

We are not looking for commentary. We are looking for witness. #DoveCry #AntiWarPoetry #PoetsOfBluesky

#PoemsAbout #NamesNotNumbers is live. Post from today through Thursday. #TakeRisks #EndOnAnImage #AvoidCliché Engage—don’t ghost. Read 3+, repost, reply.

If you’re writing to be heard — stop. If you’re writing because you have to — send it. #DoveCry #Slimline #AntiWarPoetry #AmWritingPoetry

Tomorrow: #PoemsAbout #NamesNotNumbers. No flattening. No generalising. Keep it human.

This is not trauma porn. Not spectacle. This is lived experience — told with clarity and truth. #DoveCry #AntiWarPoetry #PoetryCommunity

Parents. Children. Neighbours. Soldiers. If war has shaped your life, your voice belongs here. #DoveCry #Slimline #AntiWarPoetry #PoetrySubmission

#PoemsAbout #NamesNotNumbers starts Friday. Be specific. Detail over distance. Reality over rhetoric.

No soap boxes. No distance. No performance. Write what happened. #DoveCry #Slimline #AntiWarPoetry #AmWriting

#LiftToTheSky isn’t about influence. It’s about care. Who are you lifting today?

War is not abstract. It has names. Faces. Rooms left behind. #DoveCry is for those who know that. #AntiWarPoetry #WritersOfBluesky #PoetsOfBluesky

A name carries weight a number can’t. #PoemsAbout #NamesNotNumbers — write the person, not the count.

This is not a platform for opinion. It is a space for experience. If you haven’t lived it, don’t frame it. If you have, we are listening. #DoveCry #Slimline #AntiWarPoetry #PoetryCommunity

Submissions are open. #DoveCry — the final #Slimline. This is anti-war poetry written by those who have lived it, lost to it, carry it. If war has touched your life, this space is yours. #AntiWarPoetry #PoetsOfBluesky #CallForSubmissions

Hello poets & @thebrokenspine.co.uk — For this week's #LiftToTheSky Shadow Man Margaret Chula In the Shadows “My strong father / helpless now in his new suit/ and perfectly knotted tie / hands clenched around a white rose / coffin filled with regrets.” #poetry

Everyone who puts their poetry on here deserves to be lifted to the sky as far as I'm concerned, but here are a few suggestions: @ctrlaltdltffs.bsky.social @madp03t.bsky.social @rayhourigan.bsky.social @underablacksky.bsky.social @sonnetsmith.bsky.social @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

There’s a plethora of poets and writers here who deserve a #LiftToTheSky, honestly. These are a few voices that sing to me: @ctrlaltdltffs.bsky.social @kokopellibfree.bsky.social @phylogeneticsteve.bsky.social @daveashleypoet.bsky.social @ignorantfairy.bsky.social @jason-h-abbott.bsky.social

Three days left. We’re still looking for work that holds its nerve. #Firmament #Slimline #PoemsAbout #PoetsOfBluesky

@bts-adams.bsky.social @pamthepoet.bsky.social @kathrynreese.bsky.social @thebrokenspine.co.uk thank you to the editorial team at Exclamation Mark Lit for posting this poem overnight, here exclamationmarklit.com/every-3-days/

Today we lift others. It’s #LiftToTheSky across the #Bluesky #WritingCommunity.

Thank you to everyone who joined the return of our #PoemsAbout #OpenMic, an evening shaped by generous, thoughtful, and striking work. So many talented international voices, and brilliant to welcome new faces into the fold. A reminder of what community can be.

Tonight. Whatever’s been holding you back, leave it at the door. We’re here. Live. 19:00. #PoemsAbout #OpenMic #Return

Not the noise—the quiet after. #PoemsAbout #AfterTheSirens — write what’s left when it’s over.

Final week. If it matters, send it now. #Firmament #Slimline #PoemsAbout #PoetsOfBluesky

Tomorrow. No more scrolling past. Be part of it. 26 April. 19:00. #PoemsAbout #OpenMic #Return

It's back this coming Sunday, folks – the return of @thebrokenspine.co.uk's #poemsabout open mic. All live and all online. Whether you want to read or just listen, tickets are still available. I'm putting in an appearance – my first for a while. Maybe you will, too? bit.ly/Return_Of_Poems_About

You’ve got five days left. Send the work that risks something. #Firmament #Slimline #PoemsAbout #PoetsOfBluesky

Two days. Don’t overthink it. Book the slot. Show up. Read. #PoemsAbout #PoemsAbout #OpenMic #Return

No fantasy. No spectacle. Just clarity at scale. #Firmament #Slimline #PoemsAbout #PoetsOfBluesky

#PoemsAbout #SignalLoss is live. Post from today through Thursday. #TakeRisks #EndOnAnImage #AvoidCliché Engage—don’t ghost. Read 3+, repost, reply.

Three days. If you’ve got something to say, this is the room. If you don’t, listen anyway. #PoemsAbout #OpenMic #Return

If your poem could only exist at altitude — we want it. #Firmament #Slimline #PoemsAbout #PoetsOfBluesky

Tomorrow: #PoemsAbout #SignalLoss. Don’t tidy it. Let the gaps speak. Let the failure stay.

This is what rebuilding looks like. Not perfect. Just real. #PoemsAbout returns Sunday. #PoemsAbout #OpenMic #Return

The penultimate Slimline. #Firmament stretches the series outward — into distance, silence, and scale. Be part of it. #Slimline #PoemsAbout #PoetsOfBluesky

Nearly there. Reader spots are 5 pounds. 5 minutes. No hiding. Step up or support. Either matters. #PoemsAbout #OpenMic #Return

What lies beyond language? If your poem attempts an answer — or refuses one — send it. #Firmament #Slimline #PoemsAbout #PoetsOfBluesky

#PoemsAbout #SignalLoss starts Friday. Write interruption. Break the line. Let meaning distort.
