As we approach New Years Eve, #sixtyodd poets would like to offer you some new year #poetry in Out With The Old - In With The New. And as an added bonus for Mary Pickford fans, there is a New Year photograph of her for you to cut out and keep. (although you will have to print it first)

The poetry community built this award. It was never about me—it was always about funding a career-changing prize for poets. Facilitated by @AlanParry83.bsky.social, but made possible #ByWritersForWriters. Last chance to give. 🔗

#PoemsAbout #Imps A true story...

Almost every week I think this prompt isn't for me. Then something appears. For #PoemsAbout #Imps @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

For #PoemsAbout #Imps here’s my quick take on the prompt. I wanted something fun for the festive season. This is Elf & Safety @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

#PoemsAbout #Imps Here's a rewrite of one I wrote a couple of years ago - published in Booklet 6 of The Lockdown Legacy, and included in my wife's Curious Cabinet touring exhibition. Thanks as ever to @alanparrywriter.co.uk for consistent inspiration! @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poems #poetrycommunity

Received my copy of Rites & Trials today. I have two poems in here: Fourth and Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting - they are alongside some brilliant work by excellent poets - thank you to @alanparrywriter.co.uk for picking my stuff to go with them! #poems #poetry #anthology #thebrokenspine

Yuletide bloggage: in which I point you in the direction of my seasonally affected poetry, and rave about @thebrokenspine.co.uk's latest Slimline poetry anthology, Rites & Trials - and I am lucky enough to have two poems included in said volume! www.davekurley.net/blogstuff/ti...

More blogwork - this time about the book launch. We did it! The place was packed, the j oint was jumping, there was applause, there was laughter, there were many, many readers. It. Was. Awesome. www.davekurley.net/blogstuff/op... #blog #writers #openmic #booklaunch #greatnight #wordplay

Two new drops before month’s end. Couldn’t be more different. Couldn’t be more us. #SootAndBoots – our first seasonal fiction set – hits in hardback & paperback. Wintry stories with dirt under their nails. #RitesAndTrials Coming-of-age poems stitched with class, becoming, longing, & defiance.

More bloggage - this week, about the launch of 'Writhing: An Anthology', a collection of 40 pieces by the Wordplay Writers Club (I've got three pieces in there). If you're anywhere near Caldas da Rainha on Saturday, it would be great to see you! #writing #writhing #Poetry #shortstories #blog

This is the full text of #IWant — a poem from my WIP #FuckMeLikeGraffiti, which dives headfirst into the sexual self. It’s about love, lust, and the edges of intimacy. You can hear me read it over on TikTok. #PoemsAbout #Desire #Sexuality #AltLit #SpokenWord #IndiePoet #PoetryCommunity

Too long for me to post the text really, this is my #PoemsAbout #Desire I read my poem, I Want, here. vm.tiktok.com/ZNdENbt9c/

For this week's #PoemsAbout #Desire with thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk and all those participating.

Good morning #poemsabout crew, here’s a poem about someone wanting something for the #desire prompt @alanparrywriter.co.uk

More snails I’m afraid! #PoemsAbout #Desire @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk Happy Friday! #parasite #poetry
