I was looking up,
at the movement of the clouds,
when the moon crept in.

“If this makes you uncomfortable, good. Growth usually does.”

This isn’t branding. It’s a break. A recalibration. A refusal to play nice with harmful systems.

A line break doesn’t make it radical.
A soft blur doesn’t make it deep.
If your poem avoids saying anything, maybe it shouldn’t say anything at all.

📢 Poets with nothing to say say it prettily.

#SpineEdicts | #PoetryWithPurpose
Bold white and cyan-red text on black background reads: “Poets with nothing to say say it prettily.” The Broken Spine logo appears in the top-right corner, shaped like a fountain pen nib. The message critiques superficial, decorative poetry that avoids substance.

"They pass laws to protect their portfolios, not our children.
We get silence and sympathy.
They get dividends.
But poetry remembers what politics forgets.
Follow if you still believe words can change the world."

🖋 The Quiet Coup
A powerful poetic protest by Jaci Turner — where silence speaks volumes and justice finds its voice in the margins.
This is a call to awareness, a resistance in verse, and a reminder that we are the story coming next.

You don’t rise by skipping the struggle, you grow by surviving it. If you're in a hole right now, don’t panic. Start planting. 🌱

"The Cost of the Comeback" by Jaci Turner
What happens when power profits from chaos?
A poetic reflection on economic spin, media noise, and reclaiming truth.

Gatsby built his dream with bootleg gin and borrowed time.
Our poets sift through the ruins to find the silenced voices beneath.
This is no tribute. This is excavation.

We didn’t march for a check. We marched for truth.
Jaci Turner’s latest poem, “Lifted Eyes, Open Hands”, is a tribute to voices raised, hearts united, and the unshakeable power of collective truth. 🕊️✊

This is democracy’s relay.

We Do Not Bend the Knee, Europe's Stand Against Economic Intimidation
And let’s remind the world: silence is not strategy. Submission is not survival.

We Do Not Bend the Knee, Europe's Stand Against Economic Intimidation
In an era where global order teeters at the edge of transactional aggression, Europe finds itself once again called to the front lines of principle.

Why do children starve in a world of plenty?
Plenty Denied is a poem I have written reflecting on the inhumanity and depravity of famine, war, and the systems that let suffering persist — from Gaza to Ireland and beyond.

📖👇 #PoetryWithPurpose #PlentyDenied #JusticeForAll #Gaza #CeasefireNow
Plenty Denied We hear our home is plentiful, With room and food for all, Why is it then that children starve? And destructive bombs must fall? Whether Gaza now or Ireland then, It is famine by design, Though times have changed, methods evolve, Ever more vicious and malign. Children now learn the taste of ash, as smoke assails their lungs, Mothers weep, and fathers slain, and silenced are their songs. Where then is their hope to be found? Somewhere beyond their hand, It floats along the sunlit sea, And cannot reach the land. While those in power direct the course, Never counting the human cost, To these beasts the innocent are only prey, Their own humanity now lost. Though the dead and wounded are walled in, Imprisoned by the hand of war, Voices rise up around the world, We shout and scream "No more!" We'll make ceasefire with bread and voice, With justice fierce and kind, For peace, once sown in human hearts, No tyrant can unbind. We hear our home is plentiful, With room and food for all, Why is it then that children starve? And destructive bombs must fall?
