Many thanks @janpsolivagant.bsky.social for your challenging #PromptCombo #Mavericks. Here's a somewhat rushed attempt that maybe deserves more thought. Looking forward to reading other offerings from the #PoetryCommunity

Here's my offering for today's #PoemsAbout prompt #ThriftStore. Many thanks for hosting @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk. I've already seen some great submissions from the #PoetryCommunity and I'm looking forward to reading more

Thanks @jenthorne.bsky.social for your extremely open-ended #PromptCombo #Stand. Went to a concert last night, sat down and wrote this

In response to today's @thebrokenspine.co.uk excellent #PoemsAbout prompt #LastTrain, here's a rewrite of an older poem recalling a childhood train journey. Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk and the rest of the #poetrycommunity. Looking forward to reading other responses!

For today's #PoemsAbout #Powercut, here's a poem I've shared before as a response to a #PromptCombo but, since it's called Powercut, here it is again... Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk I'll have a good read of others later....

I've taken a literal (and arguably a cheating) route with this week's brilliant #PromptCombo #Bestiary from @janpsolivagant.bsky.social. This is an amusing 'found' poem from a 13th century bestiary: my only inputs are the line breaks and glossary

My #PoemsAbout offering today for #CheapMotels is a memory of an unplanned overnight stay in France. Many thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk. Looking forward to reading others later

Thank you @jenthorne.bsky.social for your brilliant debut #PromptCombo #Monument. This one is a very short walk from the ferry terminal in Ouistreham, Normandy. Looking forward to catching up with others in the #poetrycommunity. Read about Bill Millin here: www.pegasusarchive.org/normandy/bil...

Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk for your latest #PoemsAbout prompt #TheLook. Here's something a bit different from me: a quick love poem which I fear strays into the mawkish.

Thank you so much @emteepoetry.bsky.social for your excellent #PromptCombo #Beach. For one who lives close to the #EastDevon coast this is a regular occurrence. Looking forward to reading other offerings from the #PoetryCommunity

A quick response to the latest #PoemsAbout prompt #OutatMidnight. Many thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk. Looking forward to reading other offerings from the #PoetryCommunity later on

Thanks @janpsolivagant.bsky.social for your very engaging #PromptCombo #MaidenVoyage. Very busy at the moment but wanted to keep my hand in with a light, off the cuff offering. Will get round to reading and responding to others soon

Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk for today's #PoemsAbout prompt #BearingWitness. Here's a revised version of a poem shared previously which recognises the witness borne against historical injustices. Looking forward to responding to other offerings from the #PoetryCommunity

Many thanks @rfsmith.bsky.social for your excellent #PromptCombo #Home. I see that it has led to a fair bit of nostalgia and this rather sentimental piece is no exception.

Here's my offering for today's #PoemsAbout prompt #WhatRemains, including a pen and ink sketch by my mum of the churchyard where she and my dad lie. Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk. Will read and respond to others later

Here's my response to @thebrokenspine.co.uk #PoemsAbout prompt #AfterTheSirens. Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk. Travelling for the next couple of days so will respond when I can to the #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets

Here's a second response to @janpsolivagant.bsky.social's #PromptCombo #TotemTree. I've posted it before but this tree is too 'totemic' to ignore!

Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk for your intriguing #PoemsAbout prompt #Signalloss. I've gone a bit literal and verged on the apocalyptic, I'm afraid. Very much looking forward to reading and responding to other offerings from the #poetrycommunity #BlueSkyPoets

Many thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk for today's #PoemsAbout prompt #Gravity. Here's something quiet and reflective. Will read and respond to other offerings from the #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets later

Many thanks @rfsmith.bsky.social for your brilliant #PromptCombo #Visions. I posted this a year or so ago in response to #PoemsAbout but Chagall the great visionary painter seemed to fit today's prompt. Looking forward to reading and responding to other #BlueSkyPoets later.

Lovely to see @janpsolivagant.bsky.social hosting this week's #PromptCombo. #Nothing is the challenge so here's something from a while ago, about the stuggle to write when nothing comes to mind. Looking forward to reading other offerings from the #poetrycommunity

Good morning and many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk for today's #PoemsAbout prompt #Melt. This isn't the first poem to revisit the #Icarus myth and won't be the last! Looking forward to reading other responses from the #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets

Thank you so much, Fidel @dragonslayerma.bsky.social for hosting this week's #PromptCombo #InThisDarkHour. I'm a little under pressure of time this week so this isn't new but a bit of gothic seems to fit the bill. Will try and catch up with other responses later
