Thanks to the @thetoypress.bsky.social for a brand-new #wordoftheweek. This week, the word is "cycle," and it got me to wondering...

Late poem for @thetoypress.bsky.social prompt, written from the experience of putting little ones to bed on Bonfire Night.

We would usually have opened up submissions again by now, but we are taking a pause to think about what's next.

For the past few editions, we haven't recouped all of our costs and this is largely down to the increasing expense of sending out contributor copies...

It's nearly #Halloween so perhaps not surprising that
@thetoypress.bsky.social's #WordOfTheWeek #Back took me in a slightly spooky direction!
