Yes! I came here to say the same thing others have already said. I was struck by the way you used fragments here as it relates to collections of things. A wonderful take on the theme!

I love the way the structure of the poem is fragments as well ❤️

Yes, indeed!

A very taking idea cleverly explored - the archeology of the self?

Actually Fay Weldon...the Grauniad article mentioned it. Apparently she later said she was the head of campaigns and signed it off, and an underling actually came up with it. I did think it was a woman author even if I couldn't remember who.

Second that. The archival approach really lands. Memories—identities—in boxes, under glass. 👏👏

I love how you incorporate all of the senses. From the archeological dig feel to rolling the memory around on your tongue. Luv it!

Tomorrow (see my friend Paul below👇) is the feast of Sophia of Rome, last of the May Ice Saints. The old calendar has felt true this year, as if frost, hail cataracts, shells of thunder were a last clawing into spring by winter’s freezing fingers. Spare us your worst Sophia. Then let there be warmth

"Be industrious via the agency of a hen’s reproductive body"… before Rushdie’s supervisor had a tinker.

This is where I am at, on Thursday, imagining contemporary artists at play. @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social #promptcombo #docollageandbricolagepoem

I'm sure I read somewhere that the slogan "Go to work on an egg" was by a very famous writer. I'll check out the article 🙂 we all know poetry doesn't pay so I guess people have to earn a crust somehow ..

Delighted to have 3 poems in today's Starbeck Orion! Two of them have me reading in my dulcet tones (if you like a Norn Irish accent!) 🤪 Thanks to @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social #poetrycommunity

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

Oh thank you Paul 😊 ❤️

Wonderful and well deserving poem 👏

@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social this was such a fun prompt. My poem is based on a place I visited where their sign budget must have been rough the roof! #promptcombo #docollageandbricolagepoem

Amazing charity shop haul of poetry today. The RS Thomas is an old Ceolfrith Press edition from 1977.

I do so love poems that demand reading and re-reading, and give up layered meanings gradually. This is one such and all the more interesting that it emerged as a bricolage. Love it. 👏💥

Congratulations Paul!

In delerium that one of my new style sonnets has been featured on the Front Page of Open Arts Forum today: openartsforum.com/so-memo-gone...

@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social, your #DoCollageAndBricolagePoem #PromptCombo has inspired another #poem: ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 😅 #Covid #Brainrot #DeepTime #Cosmos #Voyager #ScienceAndPoetry #poetrycommunity #DeepSpace

Fascinating Paul, just fascinating. Thanks again🙏

I’ve cut and paste the image into my notes, Paul. The interpenetration of the seasons has always fascinated me - autumn storms in July, halcyon days in December, snow in May - so the notion that the church calendar marks and memorialises this in saints days is intriguing. Food for poetic thought…

@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social #promptcombo #docollageandbricolagepoem for Wednesday

Thank you for this Paul. As you say, fascinating

Fascinating to learn this:

Excellent poems! 👏🏻

Great to see Seventh Quarry editor @peterthabitjones.bsky.social here Paul

For Tiehm's Buckwheat, a tiny plant at the heart of a huge eco-advocacy effort in Nevada. My poem was in the Poems for Protest anthology from Rough Diamond last winter. I made this short film for it: 'How to Harness the Sun' ☀️ #PoemsAloud #Existence

#PromptCombo, not entirely on theme, but this poetry film reflects several true, distinct elements: Nevada botany & history, past & future mining, eco advocacy, and a Dylan Thomas quote. Also, the tension between natural & industrial landscapes might resonate w/ you, @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

I’m so glad it worked for you, Paul!🙏

In delerium to get this response from @bobbeagrie.bsky.social to my limited edition (less than fifteen copies left) new collection with The Red Ceilings Press: The Drey Skin:

For @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social's challenging #promptcombo #docollageandbricolagepoem I set out to build a poem of quotes. The result is decidedly mixed. In order w/ a little connecting: John Muir Vladimir Nabokov Orson Scott Card Bertrand Russel Bill McKibben Ernest Hemingway William Wordsworth
