For #OldSkin, write with raw honesty and bold intent. Shed the clichés, focus on real imagery, and cultivate each line.

My first for #poemsabout and @alanparry83.bsky.social at @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

I say first because when those

#oldskin

prompts come through email later I won't be able to resist at least another two.

Fun fact: I have the respiratory flu but I tried to write something for #PoemsAbout #OldSkin anyway and now I am going to go hack up a lung and lie down in a dark room because I am done being vertical for a while.

I wrote this a while ago but it seems to fit the #oldskin theme so I've refreshed it and dusted it down #poemsabout @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

Your Leather Journal Hands cinch-smooth Spill imbibed anger Incoherent ink splashes Stain weathered hide Clasped close to flames Fibres crack Bound to steadfast spine Old skin Holds

Late to the party today for #poemsabout but here's something on #oldskin reviving an old fragment into whatever this is.

@brokenspinearts.bsky.social Here's my offering for #PoemsAbout #OldSkin

Set to new work
In old skin,
True transformation is
Choked;
Cloaked
In an ancient,
Decrepid facade
Weighing heavily on
Minds and shoulders,
Obstructing progress.
I beg its shedding.

Midweek check-in for #OldSkin. Don’t hold back. Peel away the layers, build each line with care, and let the image lead. Engagement here builds a real community far from the noise of X.

So the #PoemsAbout prompt this week is #OldSkin so hi to @Alanparry83.bsky.social and @brokenSpine.bsky.social and everyone else, I'm late, but I have reasons ;-)
Enjoy.
Poem: Wear Glasses Pick one from the rack rub #OldSkin with your thumb top and tail with your sharpest knife, and with the blade between swollen skin and #OldSkin dried and flakey pul off the dried #OldSkin. It will split, start again at the next edge careful do not nick the new skin. Now slice in, fast is best and fast enough there'll be no stinging tears no tares, no tears The inside isn't extra-flavoured, or more tender it's the same swollen leaves in layers all the way for onions, people, plays and minds.

Friday’s focus: #OldSkin. Write as if each line reveals something new. End with a resonant image, and bring honesty over melodrama. Every post is a new step toward the collection you’re creating.

My #PoemsAbout #OldSkin looking at how hands are a map of the journey of our lives. My mother’s in particular. Thank you @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social for this unusual prompt that finally got out something I’ve wanted to capture for ages.

Greetings! Here is my late poem for #PoemsAbout #OldSkin with many thanks to @brokenspinearts.bsky.social. I will be back to read!
Cartography of Old skin calligraphy of bird tracks thin as splinters highlighting storied striations of worm burrows while long-legged blue tributaries of veins wind unmapped beneath freckled rust of mole hills persistent itch of memory etched between the knees Jacqueline Dempsey-Cohen

For my #poemsabout #oldskin with loads of thanks to @brokenspinearts.bsky.social for facilitating this....... & all who take part!!
Old Skin For old skin say skin suit, say skin tight, say oil skin, skinny dip. Say peeled skin, thin-skinned. Say skin flint, skin that can't be turned to show a better side. Say folds that never return to home, say backs-of-your-hands like exposed sandstone. Say skin deep, say skin of your teeth. Say scared, say scared right out of your skin.
