𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿: Hear me read at The Book Bag open mic (Nov 9th)
November 26, 2025 at 7:56 AM
Y'see, it's exactly this kind of AI myth-making by mainstream media outlets that gives LLMs a bad rap.

I entered what you see in the screenshot, after reading what you'll find in this linked @theguardian.com article: bit.ly/4r60RQv

Clearly, it's bullshit.

I see you ... 😉

For @hool415.bsky.social's #workinglove #promptcombo this week, a new thing about new love. Inspired, I think, by those older couples you see in parks on office lunch breaks: acting like teenagers, rapt in each other, obviously falling in love – all anticipations visibly laced with their anxieties.

Seriously, who gives a fucking shit?

There's only one double-barrel this child-raping cunt should be faced with ...

Tell me, which of these images is genuine, and which was produced using AI?

Another issue of this triumph of modern poetry publishing landed on my doormat today. To call it a journal is to do it a disservice; the quality of its production equal in every way to that of the work between its covers. Kudos to @maxwallis.bsky.social for having the vision to make this happen.

Speaking of poetry open mics, I almost missed Lime Square Poets' session last night with Hannah Kiely. Thank God for phone reminders! Another great evening from our friends across the water in Ireland. I read my poem 'Parliament' – one I've aired at a few open mics since the summer.

For @victoriaspires.bsky.social's #promptcombo this week, something in the manner of #dreamlogic, albeit not from a human perspective. This comes from Release One of @subruria.com.

This do you, John?

Or upgrade and thin out the religious nutcases.

The #promptcombo challenge this week (set by @victoriaspires.bsky.social) is on the theme of #ancestry. As luck would have it, I recently finished this little poem – a brief comment on my noticing that my late paternal grandmother's eyebrows had made their way, genetically, to my daughter's face.

This open letter to a plagiarist by @rustandmoth.bsky.social is an outstanding example of not only how to lay axe to the root of this pernicious literary theft but also how to appeal to the guilty party's better nature without dragging them, triggering a pile-on or destroying a chance at redemption.

May as well switch her over to this. Too late to change her.
September 18, 2025 at 6:55 AM
As requested.

My kind of #promptcombo, Ju! Here's my #winged contribution.

This wrong 'un. Hold his pocket. #prisonbreak

What's that saying about fools and their money? 🙄

This sufficiently banal for @rfsmith.bsky.social's #promptcombo this week on the topic of #banality? I do hope so.

Even something as prosaic as hanging out laundry can be made poetic. Shared early drafts of this little thing on Twitter many moons ago. Today, I think it's finally finished.

And look ... they ALMOST coloured inside the lines. Our brave patriots.
