Inspired by Beckett’s "Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness." and the stain we’ve left on nature #PoemsAbout #BlankPages @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

Already it is the first craptastic year of a chaos quartet & I spent most of this week trying to process rage & anxiety so this is what came out for #PoemsAbout #BlankPages.

While turning the pages
of a book with no name
inertia came quickly
along with my pain
In the silence we hear
screaming voices
dark thoughts lurking
the night lurching in
looking at words
that say nothing

Midweek nudge: #BlankPages. This is your space to go bold, write clear, and build a poetry community beyond Twitter. Every time you engage, you make space for others to grow, too.

I managed to keep my fence up. Some of the neighbours weren’t so lucky. Thankful for moveable planters to act as weights and barricades. The storm has subsided somewhat. Anyway, here’s a very raw, rough #PoemsAbout #BlankPages @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

My first offering for a @brokenspinearts.bsky.social #poemsabout Here's my little 'un for #BlankPages .....
January 24, 2025 at 3:43 PM
A third offering for #poemsabout and #blankpages for @brokenspinearts.bsky.social from the emailed additional prompts. This one is #7 Friction Between Changes. Also borrowed one line making it 11 rather than 10. Hope, again, is ok.

I am a song, as yet unwritten,
sang by many a child with dreams in sight;
a non-rhyming poem of indeterminate meter;
a shadow that exists in the absence of light

#BlankPages is live! Use imagery that cuts through, avoid the melodrama, and cultivate each line to resonate. Each poem brings you closer to your next submission. Let’s see your best.

A second offering for #poemsabout and #blankpages for @brokenspinearts.bsky.social from the emailed additional prompts. This one is #5 The Silence of Scratched Vinyl. Went a little off piste perhaps and also borrowed one line making it 14 rather than 13. Hope is ok.
