Wow, a tour de force, Helen! Amazing word witchery!

boulder-shouldered, nice visual!

Someone said we could also have fun on Bluesky this week ☺️

Cassandra's Curséd Ketchup Her last vermillion knell: a beast unleashed to spread the muses' lover's curse, reversed. Glutinous shoves of electrons piped into hermetic abacists: nectar of stirred agents that divine us from ritual zeros and ones. They tempt, rage, pray at the beckon of a tap. Click-clacked incantations augur shade in lightless night. We lap the stains of make-believe, concoct with relish our canned pantheon. Avenged at last? Let slip what will be the final drop.

Are poets allowed to have so much fun on a #TopTweetTuesday?

Thank you @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social for staging the playground.

Did you know that AI is Apollo's fault?

*Note: "Ketchup effect": when little happens for a long time, then way too much very fast.

For the theme #prophecy on #TopTweetTuesday, here’s my poem ‘Burning Sage’.

I seem to be on a roll with witchy/wise woman poems at the moment!

Poem by Helen

In 🥇 1st place on #fragmentsfriday, @helenlaycock.bsky.social back with the crown 👑 with this #micropoem of sharp contrasts, energy and sensuality.

Impossible to escape the dinosaurs of our days

"a blush of stars", how lovely

Barely Seeing November, Watergate Bay, Cornwall Day has blown its bulb to fully fill with fog; clouds all fallen, helpless, puffing on their backs.

Hullo @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and to glorious #fragmentsfriday

Breakup (after Fatemeh Shams) I carry a dead volcano in my pocket solid-shocked broach turn-worn, geology fits in my fist

It Snowed Again Cream fondant coating weds spring-candied branches. A towering revelry destined to ebb, devoured in the burning loss.

Spring weather on this #fragmentsfriday ❄️🔆

Hope you're having a good day, @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social community

Holocene Park Meteor-lashed, black rain rasped world ran out of horizons. They scanted; we crack breakfast today.

Upon learning that our birds are actual living dinosaurs.

Top idea!

Honey, the horses became glue Hallucinate loops That power I think, he said About horses About freedom Yoke the weight On other shoulders

Gets one writing, even about AI :)
