Firstly, want to say a massive thank you for the warm welcome to Bluesky's #writingcommunity 🥰 loving it here!
Secondly, I organised all your tips from my other post into easy reference lists for me, but thought they might be useful to share here too?

If you have a spare two minutes, I've made a survey about poetry and could do with just a few more responses 🙏🏻 particularly interested in hearing from people that *don't* read poetry as well as those that do!

A lovely evening at the York Literary Review 2025 launch, where I'm lucky to have found a home for my poem, After life 🌱⚰️

Guys guys it's finally happened!
A self-proclaimed non-writer has just asked me how to get into writing poetry! Imagine being given permission to talk about poetry for 15 minutes straight! What a rush!

Can we normalise writing competitions telling entrants the outcomes? Like we've paid to enter, but for all we know you haven't even read it... It's just a quick automated email hun

#poetsofbluesky - titles are the thing I second-guess the most when writing a poem (apart from the first and last lines 😂)
What are your top tips for picking one?

Currently in a vicious cycle of not being able to concentrate on writing, so I burn energy with chores around the house/garden, which makes me inspired to write, but once I sit down with my laptop I'm back to step one?

It's been 2 years since my biggest publication! 🧱
It's a gorgeous city garden and it's lovely seeing people taking a break there.
Pic 2 is the unabridged, non-wall-sized poem. I'll be BFFs with anyone who knows the Aldous Huxley novel influence!

First night out and open mic since we lost our boy. I'm amazed just how much it helped to be out listening to poetry, surrounded by our community ❤️

#escapril day 10: Fog
It's the worst possible irony that the day my cat's name is the prompt is the day we find out he has terminal stomach cancer. Or maybe it's a good overlap as I don't know how else to process my grief.
I'm not sure I'll carry on with the rest of the month's poems.
