Today’s #Poetry #Warmup has a word in it that my spell checker does not recognise that I very much know exists. 10 points if you know what it means without looking it up :D
Morning Prayer by S. Reeson as the dawn reminds me a reason is always a reward chaos does indeed hide order in plain sight and I might if the morning’s wind is fair transform the day to progress if tomorrow dains to drive pain and passion balanced as a lifestyle choice my voice might transcend reason we may move progress forward grant me rhyme brave and strong

However, here is a #poetry warmup so not everything is completely fucked :D
Sunrise by S. Reeson today is pain and shallow progress still every step that’s forward thinking counts and now I need to highlight sounds with coloured markers we’re going to make this week into a journal page and never share it with anyone until I am reminded this is how it started every time before find the ones reading this time you be different stand tall don’t be afraid of the sun rise above carve the better markers in yourself

Right. #PromptCombo #subtext @victoriaspires.bsky.social.

Does exactly what it says on the tin :D
This is a Nature Documentary by S. Reeson as the mammals are blessed by the morning sunrise as it creeps quietly across a muddy estuary and we are living in a nature documentary and the consequence of effort should be progress but somehow we are stuck struggling muddy soles but a tiny imprint in the vastness of painful evolution there is a lesson to be learnt by everyone for whom there does not seem to them to be some progress to be made that your worship of the movements of the planets ought to matter that as the strip of daylight inhabited is obviously extending why can you not escape the relentless pull of other people’s pointless subtext why won’t our nature alter every broken self

I see we have arrived at the start of another week so today’s warm-up is now becoming a habit. For today’s #PromptCombo #TakingItUpstairs presented by @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social we continue to attempt to stick it to Those Men. You know the ones…
Taking it Upstairs by S. Reeson how much is it costing to do nothing at this point in time how effort is wasted online complaining failing to offer real solutions looking to the men upstairs assuming someone else will do the legwork when they’re done caring is a waste of their resources you have a chance to fix this one step at a time one cancellation make them hurt take the cash away your power has always been to stop downing tools and challenging behaviour is a secret weapon make them reconsider harm is not acceptable as payment make punishment their naughty step

Today's #poetry warm-up comes on the back of Season 2 of Andor, the last 11 days of reality and the realisation that lots of people are still not listening.
Before / Now / After by S. Reeson this cannot be happening again the lessons were learnt we listened and we engaged arms and hearts were opened this is absolutely happening now the lessons were paved over they lied about paying attention arms were loaded hearts broken this must be the last final time the lessons as proper memorials all of us must stand together arms and hearts together as one

This has been a VERY good week :D
A screengrab from my Strava app, which sees my relative effort finally recover and exceed my efforts in December. There has been exercise every day this week, which was previously in the range of 114 to 228 effort. This week, I scored 283.

Today’s #poetry #warmup
I may not have posted about this yesterday, but it does not mean I did not forget. Far, FAR from it.
David Robert Jones by S. Reeson there is never a moment you are not here with me in some small form or action a rotation in vinyl or digitally a sublime performance a much-needed sound bite there is never a moment you are not missed the very antithesis of this planet’s double negative how I crave your wisdom back more than you will ever know

I am trying my best to change things in the real world. I am only one person. Today, I note this moment as the loss of a creative voice and and then attempt to show a comprehension of a wider picture.

#poetry #warmup #resist
The Pivot by S. Reeson that the only reason many people now will care when yesterday they did not is because she was white that it was obvious to many who had seen the video that their leader had not when he lied on television that the voices of millions persecuted with fear were never truly heard until a woman was killed that it has come to this that we must all resist that a poet’s loss will now become a pivot point

@dragonslayerma.bsky.social #PromptCombo #Nightfall, which is also the title of an Isaac Asimov short story (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfa... ) that I’d forgotten about and turns out to be incredibly apposite in relation to current events.

Oh and here’s a poem :D
Bigger Think by S. Reeson all that you believe to be true is driven by the moment you exist in every experience you relate to is not connected to the nightfall nor the rising of the sun markers are internal and can be undone you must expand beyond what’s lost grow into what’s fruitful all that you perceive is not always connected to the truth that complacency will and does deceive look past it think bigger think past yourself

No, you don't need to write every day, but in my limited experience as a neurodivergent who is emotionally unavailable and often chronically anxious due to historic trauma, the routine REALLY makes those things less of an issue.

Some days, what you write is a surprise. #poetry
Goodyear Blimp by S. Reeson you have forgotten how to care your capacity has been neutered you willingly allowed this to take place your mind corrupted and altered those problems cannot be compared when people are the problem in itself those problems are not yours to solve when people live somewhere else and although you may be right being ignorant is not an answer and every day it’s getting worse being ignorant is actually a curse you let them dominate your lives as they distract you struggle and yet you still let them eat you alive as it’s easier than dealing with the truth

Day 3 of Poetry Warmups across multiple platforms and today, large swathes of the media are not doing objective commentary any more, it would appear...
Disaster Mindset by S. Reeson we’re only three days in everything is once more on fire please do not explain in roughly 300 characters exactly how the politics of letting arrogance move on unregulated is something you won’t consciously allow whilst simultaneously expounding each issue that’s wrong with everything except your liberal mouth I refuse to be pushed back into disaster mindsets by those who do nothing nor hold their blame instead decide to parrot untenable solutions which can never offer cures for right wing games start this New Year in the proper gait change yourselves before it is too late

A shonky Canva graphic explaining who I am and what I do, which reads as follows: Zero Fucks Given My first publication was in 2018. I’ve been consistently published ever since, but am yet to find a publisher who wants to give me a contract. I am a digital native: I have been posting online since the days when Usenet was where all the Internet Drama took place. We’re coming up for thirty years online. I am here on a daily basis from now on. I have committed to this space as mine going forward, until some idiot billionaire fucks this up too... My caveats are: - no meme accounts - no repost only accounts - engage with me first - respect my caveats I am 59, have two adult children, and am a happily married bisexual. If you’re still reading at this point, you deserve all the plaudits for doing so. Time is a construct, so is gender, so if you think there’s only two of those it’s time to stop following me. #transrightsarehumanrights You can find my website at www.intrenetofwords.com

Dog walked. The light is magnificent. I made a proper effort on the ALT text.
Frosty and cold view from the ancient woodland towards the municipal golf course. Hazy sun illuminates the black stick outlines of bare trees. Long shadows stretch on to a carpet of recently fallen leaves. A cloudless blue sky is obvious beyond exposed branches.

Sunday afternoon at the London end of the Grand Union Canal. The bridge that rolls up into a hexagon. Some very intentional architecture choices, and a very unsatisfactory choice of lunch food. Ah well, live and learn.

Day 2. So much of the content consumed is scraped illegally from films and TV shows. It tugs at the emotional core. 90% of these blocks are shitty reel and YouTube sites. Had to stop and think maybe twice at whether the person had something I was interested in. I stop when I get to here.
The dialogue from Instagram when it exhausts its pre-programmed ability to provide me with content it believes I am interested in: a blank screen with a circular arrow and a simple message: ‘We’re sorry, but something went wrong. Please try again’.

This morning’s pre-fuel was a Cheese and Bacon Turnover from the Bakers and actually, FUCK YEAH.

Strava told me yesterday I’ve done something every week in terms of exercise now for a shade over six years. That HAS to be worth celebrating!
My Strava deets for December, only 11 activities, but a 315 week unbroken streak with coming up for 2084 activities overall <3
