I won't prompt tag again to save spamming, but this - THIS! - is the one 😂

Felt like I was writing against the prompt here - an unusually (?) chirpy one from me! #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors - thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Hi @rfsmith.bsky.social and #PromptCombo - here's my offering for #Storm, based on notes made after our summer wind storm

Lightly dispiriting walk through the old mining village of Dudley yesterday. Lots of flags, obviously. The colliery is now a decent country park however - loads of kestrels

This is why the flags are going up around here. I don't condone it, but I do understand it. There's communities like ours all over the country, ripe for the picking. All the fascists need to do is give people who have nothing something to get angry about.

I hope this is read in the way intended. The #blood prompt led me in quite a serious direction - this wasn't tossed off, and I hope I've treated the subject (colonial violence and complicity) with... well, whatever it deserves. #PromptCombo, @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

The #autumn #allotment looking a bit bedraggled. Yet more apples to collect...

Hi @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk - here's something old but completely rewritten which I think fits #BurnForTheCamera very nicely! #PoemsAbout #poems #poetry

Hi @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk Wasn't aware of this #poemsabout prompt until just now, but something I wrote today seems to fit #breakthemould
