Autumn dissolves into view.
In the mirror of seasons
spring is behind the glass.

Great to see a waterford out in the wild!

Excited to be at the @dublinsmpressfair.bsky.social this Saturday. I’ll be reading two poems I was fortunate enough to have published in issues 9 and 10 of The Waxed Lemon. Such an important local journal. #indiepub #authorsofbluesky #bookcommunity #writeon #literarydreams #independentauthors

Today’s #poetryprompt:

Picture an emotion as though it were a person. Now write me a poem about the house that emotion lives in. What is it like? Where is it?

In waterfords, your verse will soar -
syllabically,
the lines must be
two eights which sandwich two of four.

Today's #poetryprompt:

Friday the poetry group I run is hosting our last Open Mic of the year. The theme is Togetherness. I would love to read some poems from y'all there.

Write a poem about Togetherness, Solidarity or Community!
