Hello @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk thanks for this week’s #PoemsAbout prompt #TimeSlip Not sure if this hits the mark. it’s all that occurred to me this am after a migraine yesterday. I’ve never successfully written about one and this doesn’t change that! #poetrycommunity #poetry

Many thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk for your #PoemsAbout prompt #TimeSlips. This song immediately came to mind: if by any chance you don't know it, listen here: open.spotify.com/track/43IYZ1... Looking forward to reading other responses

Dear @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social , For #promptcombo , #TakingItUpStairs Picture: New Mexico, 16 July 1945 (AI interpretation).

We are absolute beginners Eyes completely open but we can be heroes never wave bye bye. In the sea dark as wine swim like the dolphins can swim Into the blue blue electric blue where once we were lovers and you are a blackstar a solitary candle. #poem #Bowie

The nights are silent skies only skimming clouds the birds are gone beyond the cold and spring is so far away with its wingbeats stronger than the northern ice the arid call of the south. #poetry #7lines

Winter thoughts I wish a star light in the dark a silver fish a leap too far a fiery spark dawn in my hands a kiss love keeps a cry a breath of forest green where one deer stands as still as death then leaps the sky a star I wish. #poetry #poetsofbluesky #skypoets

A Solstice Poem our breath mingles creating tiny snowflakes that rise in the north wind delicate ice crystals float with sparks from the solstice fire bright little boats on a celestial sea rising embers sailing into the deep blue ocean of stars sparkling bright in the first long winters night

The dark hours tick by and by and if there are stars they wait like us for dawn. Endings are only bearable when they herald a beginning the cycle heaving light from the primal mud of midnight. Comets streaming homewards. #poetry #wintersolstice

Up on the hill the first olive trees grow roots drenched in sun. Roots dig in dry earth once rich-writhing with wheat vines—pays de Cocagne #haiku #poetry

#PoemsAbout #Money @thebrokenspine.co.uk I will put a reading in the comments.

Many thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk for today's #PoemsAbout prompt #Money. My response is from #BeautifulLittleFools, Broken Spine's anthology published earlier this year, marking the centenary of #TheGreatGatsby. It seems to fit. Happy Christmas @alanparrywriter.co.uk and all the #PoetryCommunity

Good morning! For #PoemsAbout and today's prompt #Money I revised a poem I wrote last year after reading about an archeological discover in what is now Turkey. Thank you as always to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

A very quick one for #PoemsAbout #Money Hope to catch up this evening @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

@thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #PoemsAbout #YouShouldntHave #itWillDo You shouldn't have Remembered That today was a day You were supposed to forget.

#poemsabout #youshouldnthave #poetry @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk Still dealing with loss and change, and choices. And playing with repetition. Thanks for taking the time to read!

Good morning and Happy Friday! For #PoemsAbout #YouShouldntHave Thank you as always to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk This one came about from a dVerse prompt of sewing terms, as well as current events. 😉

Morning Poets! Bit busy with end of term - so putting out one from my children’s archive! Happy Friday! #PoemsAbout #YouShouldntHave @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poetry

A poem in response to the #PoemsAbout #YouShouldn'tHave for @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poetry

Another difficult prompt for #PoemsAbout #Imps from @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk Imps is not a word I use or like. The word feels slimy in my brain.

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

A bleak offering for #PoemsAbout #NoFuture @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk with a nod and a wink to James Stephens.

It's Black Friday. Time to buy books.

Mark your calendars! 🗓️ Our big Black Friday sale is starts at midnight on Thursday November 27th until Sunday November 30th at legendbookshop.com Get 50% off ALL hardbacks and 25% off ALL paperbacks 📚 #BlackFriday #LegendPress #TheBookSocial #Books #Gifting

A shame given how much sheer quality has been produced in a single year across multiple genres. Probably the stand out publisher for 2025 In other words, go to their site and buy some books

We have some amazing authors leaving us at the end of the year. This is the last chance to grab some of these incredible titles and support them for the foreseeable future. All books in our store are 25% with the code NORTHODOXMAS until the new year www.northodox.co.uk/bookstore

Every Friday, we meet a member of the BFS and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). Here's Belarus-born, Sheffield-based sci-fi writer Valeriya Salt, who finds inspiration for her Earth-bound SF in gardens and parks. britishfantasysociety.org/meet-valeriy...

Good morning! I had trouble with this one--do I write that every week?😂 I wrote two short ones that maybe I'll post later, but then I decided to consult the Oracle for inspiration for this third one. #PoemsAbout #Desire Thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Roman Emperor Hadrian loved a young man named Antinous. History turned their passion into rumour #PoemsAbout #Desire @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

Here's a dream or memory or both for #PoemsAbout #Desire - thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @rotherwrites.bsky.social write.as/robgalpin/i-... #poem #poetry
