Redid his ref AGAIN
Hopefully this is the last time I make any big design changes. I had already been adding some extra details in my drawings of him, so it just felt right to redo his ref entirely.

‘Magnesium hashing judgement’ is such a razor-sharp image - elemental & ominous. This whole poem simmers with ferocity, refusing to blink. Unsettling in all the right ways. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies

'Spewed flasks of acid from tumour­ed sky-lungs' is a stunning gut-punch - vivid, monstrous & surreal. Love the way syntax collapses into fragmentation. End-times lyricism done right. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies

Apocalypse has come and gone We're just grubbing in the ashes. Samuel R. Delany the magnesium flame sky of this apocalypse has burnt out to hang leadened // has spewed flasks of acid from tumoured sky-lungs // come to pierce walls // enter nuclei // and forever alter // the helix gone uncoiled in the dusty silence //we're frozen Just. More than just. grubbing through scorched bark // like iron filings // in search of threads // filaments // the beginning in the ashes

‘sky the colour of smoke / glows’ is such a startling shift - quiet, then radiant. Love how the whole poem builds toward that final exhale: not just breath, but roar. Subtle, sensory, & full of restrained power. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies

‘hoping the next / moment is better than / the last’ hits with raw, necessary weight. Stark & honest, this poem wrenches metaphor into protest - a slow boil of survival under pressure. Do not stop writing like this. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies

‘Let the week turn to cinders while we sleep’ - that’s a stunner. Such atmospheric, firelit languor here, with a delicious undertow of eeriness. Gently strange & smouldering. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies

‘The good luck wish, the tiniest horseshoe’ — this whole piece is a tenderness-map. Everything detailed, held, remembered. A lush act of love. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies

Consider the swift's
Nest: Gossamer-threaded on
The wing; Calligrams
Fashioned out of dander shorn
From wind-borne heavenly foes.

I hope I’m not too late for #poemsabout #ShiftingSkies Sorry! Still not equipped with my full energy. Anyway, good morning #BlueSkyPoets, @brokenspinearts.bsky.social and @alanparry83.bsky.social Have a lovely day
Afternoon, late winter landscape caught between winter’s sleep and spring wakefulness everything is still light traces your face with cold fingers sky the colour of smoke glows as though fire hides in it bare shoots of river willow glow like orange flames rain falls the moment catches the breath then opens its lungs roars

Written back in summer, took another stab at it recently. Shows a tumbling transition of sorts.

Here's a poem I've been working on this week #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies
@brokenspinearts.bsky.social @alanparry83.bsky.social
Black feathers I wake up after the storm and take a slow deep breath. Limbs and twigs are strewn across the yard, glistening with a wet sheen as sunlight skips across harsh corners. We leave the wood, let our neighbor pick the sticks up later because we know how much they love bonfires in the front yard. The high hot flames. Silhouettes of children running and squealing. Let the week turn to cinders while we sleep. You and I, we prefer black feathers. Punctuated caws as crows alight on nearby trees or the lonely lamp post across the street. Throw out your feed and we’ll watch them line up as the clouds part.

What an amazing day of #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies for @brokenspinearts.bsky.social - great to come back to it after a very full long day of other (intense!) stuff and find such a wealth of writing and such a smorgasbord of feedback on my own poem. Amazing what one can learn via other eyes and ears!❤️

This #poem is so attentive to its geography; to the wet earth underfoot, the glowing of light, expansive overhead. I think of seasons and how earth and sky shift alongside them. #poemsabout #shiftingskies #poetsofbluesky @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

This was a fun read from the gods to us. Enjoyed the sustained attitude and the closing lines. Gods will be gods and we will always want them to remain ever-non-changing. But they are, aren't they? #shiftingskies #poemsabout @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

‘an extreme weather event tearing inside me’ — visceral, maternal, immense. This unspools with unbearable tenderness & seismic ache. Proper knockout last line too. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies

‘Let us dance in shards of light’ — what a gorgeous, hopeful line. This rises like the season it mirrors: quiet, then fierce, then full of grace. A renewal poem with heat. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies

Both of these are devastating & luminous — brutal elegies where religion, memory, grief & longing are stitched into something sacred & unbearable. ‘A world turned winter turned war’ & ‘the sky’s a calf born legs-first’ — lines that wreck & stay. Astonishing! #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #ShiftingSkies

This week's take on the #poemsabout #ShiftingSkies prompt from @brokenspinearts.bsky.social was inspired by a @kathyfish.bsky.social prompt (thanks Kathy!) and a real shifting sky situation! 💜
