DAYLIGHT & TENFOLD ORIOLES was released last week. FREE pdf! donated words poetry with lots of writers & contributors in the mix! there’s tons of very cool collaboration happening in here! not to be missed! doing a walkthrough of this collection in the near future!🧡 tinyurl.com/2025daylight

I donated a word to this

The words I had to use in the poem were “simultaneous,” “regent,” and “siphon.” It ended up being a birdwatching 🪶 poem. Go grab the PDF and enjoy all the fine work!

i donated a word to daylight & tenfold orioles i'll give you the password to my coinbase account if you can guess which one

I’m very grateful to @midwesternskirt.bsky.social for creating this fantastic project involving poets writing using donated, assigned words, and proud to have “Simultaneous Fields” be among them. I would likely never have used a couple of those words otherwise! Looking forward to the whole thing.

Excited to be part of a collaborative project organized by K Weber. Check out all the poems/microfictions including my piece Shadowcast.

DAYLIGHT & TENFOLD ORIOLES is here! this free PDF is packed with writing created by 17 authors that incorporates words contributed by many people! lots of thanks to all involved! everyone who took part is tagged in this thread! get the PDF here: tinyurl.com/2025daylight

when i start wrapping up my donated words projects i like to get my HUGE spreadsheet of related data together. since 2018 this has gone from about 150-200 rows filled in to 1255! excited to release this new collection wednesday. i made a trailer for this project (!!!) & it’s in my previous post!!!

COMING WEDNESDAY! FREE PDF!

happy belated 4th birthday to TEAMWORDK! this collection of donated words poems was released on august 30, 2021! it has a FREE pdf version & an AUDIO version where i read aloud & there’s background music i made! tinyurl.com/teamwordk2021

looking forward to sharing more about the forthcoming donated words collection soon. 17 people wrote original works that incorporate a wonderful selection of donated words! there are 16 poems & 1 microfiction piece! i am so very happy to feature all of this soon in a free PDF!

exciting update!

this poem will appear as the opener in the forthcoming collection currently in progress. although the other poems will follow a different collab style, “Tenfold” features the original donated words poetry characteristics. great to have another (online, free) collab collection coming before 2026!

this is *not* the poem i am working on for the latest donated words/collaborative writing collection😆 but i certainly was inspired by the windy garbage stuck on my neighbor’s balcony!
