For #PromptCombo this week, it's #ecstasy. Use the hastags & tag me to get involved. ❤️
This video of me reading my poem "My Man" is from a series of poetry videos Julie & I did during Covid.

Books told us that everyone
would step aside when Nobles
passed. Would share their
daughters at a Noble’s command.
Would give their produce to Nobles
as rent. Would answer the Nobles’
call to war, would die for their Noble. Now we don’t need books.

In all honesty, it kind of fits the 'steal valuable stuff then present it in decontextualised bits in a queasily sterile manner' modus operandi of centuries.
The British Museum posted Al slop and quietly deleted it. Here's what it was and why it matters.

Late to this one, but here's mine 🙏🙏

They stand for a moment's

For a good man.
They don't know the half of it.

Thank you @rfsmith.bsky.social for your #PromptCombo #Moment which brought to mind a recent moment that brought home the fragility of existence. Looking forward to other contributions later

Rain
The rain pounds its rhythm
drowning
the ground with pools reflecting
sadness
as the skies open and cries relentlessly
again
cleansing the world of colours
greying
all hope from the land
forever.

This week's #promptcombo #moment took me back to a poem I wrote in 1998 and was part of my first collection in 2006 (eek)! Thanks @rfsmith.bsky.social for reminding me, it was nice to revisit it and St Kevin's Arcade back home in Auckland!
