@jenthorne.bsky.social brilliant Pipe poem reminded me I'd written this almost a year ago, there's something about New Year that revives old memories.

I'm not sure why this old memory popped up today. Perhaps it was prompted by the few poems I've read here so far. Back later to read more.

This #PromptCombo #ThisPoem is bringing out my whimsical side, so here's an older one of mine from my drafts. I rarely rhyme but thought this one might be fun to read out loud. I hear it in the voice of Craig Charles.

A very quick instinctual scribble as a bit of fun for @victoriaspires.bsky.social wonderful poem prompt. If I have time I will try another more considered response.

Luckily for me I had written a wee poem about the North Star a short time ago. I just had to find it again! Written to a picture prompt, I hope it works without it too.

I can honestly say this is the only poem I've written of this nature, not quite sure what I was on at the time. It was early in the Covid pandemic, if that had a bearing?

An old poem of mine that I can't exactly say where it came from and I'm still not sure what it means for me. It was inspired by "The Room" by Kevin Hart, the Anglo-Australian poet-theologian, not the US comedian.

This strange offering is aiming to be a metaphorical piece, about aging if that's not obvious. It's literal too and experimental for me.
The cold and damp weather is getting into my joints.

Irish genealogical records are very good for 1840 to 1921 and, for Northern Ireland anyway, a bit of a challenge otherwise.

An old piece, I'm hesitant to call it a poem, maybe descriptive prose with line breaks 😉 since I wrote it we've also had two acrobatic trainer planes and an autogyro, as well as many repeats of the mentioned aircraft 🛩️

A very quick musing I'm hesitant to share having read some cracking poems for #PromptCombo #Winged for @hool415.bsky.social
However, it's quite typical of my style and I have dozens of bird poems that are a variation on this theme. I might share something different later this week 🐦⬛
