A photo of me reading at a podium with a poster of Padraig O’Tuama on it
It was an honour to be invited to read at Padraig O’Tuama’s event in Sydney, hosted by Poetica, where he launched his beautiful new book Kitchen Hymns. I read one of my poems on the theme of the kitchen table, titled The Oil Stain. ☺️🙏🏾I’ll be uploading a video soon 💫
Yesterday, I had the honour of reading a kitchen-themed poem, “The oil stain”, as part of a curated lineup at a beautiful Padraig O’Tuama event hosted by Poetica in Sydney. It was an incredible evening—Padraig read from his new book Kitchen Hymns. What a compassionate and down-to-earth human! 💫

There She Was Again This morning ready for school I opened the front door and there she was again one of my oldest friends waiting on the doorstep My go-to chauffeur wearing her yellow bow tie opening the garden gate wide in her loud sunshine suit and lavender boots beckoning me to take another ride in her four month long pristine limousine repainted and reupholstered in gold and green It was Summer Mark Bird
When one of your best friends is not a person. #summer #personification #Summervibes #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity #sunshine #gold #green #personifythis #poetry
Evie, I’m so glad this poem resonated with you. I’m five years older than you. I stopped writing poetry at 25 and started again at 38. Poetry truly heals. I’m looking forward to any videos of your readings if you choose to share them—I really enjoyed the ones you posted last year!🧡
Pink blossoms surrounding a page with the poem, 'Elixir,' from the collection, Patchwork Fugue, by Oormila Prahlad. Text of the poem below: Elixir Come, hold up your palms—show me the turmeric glaze coating the stone of timeworn pestles, how your mortars glisten with the flesh of pounded suns, how your gold soaks into my cells singing to quicken, awaken.
Today's poem speaks to my heart.
'Elixir' by @oormilaprahlad.bsky.social
Some of you might remember my reawakening last spring. Not sure how to explain it here, but been on my own since 25 (now 42). Wrote many poems last year, shared a few. Most, not yet. Eventually, they will appear. Poetry heals.💗

FOX Deciduous snow. Time tissue perforated along every edge. Lust lightens below freezing. The trail routinely followed, throughout her absence nearly tactile. I withdraw. That part of me, capable of survival. Licking the killing wound.
An unpublished piece, written for a TopTweetTuesday challenge and read by the incredible Marc Woodward on Sendcastle radio nearly two years ago.

Hi! This might help:
It’s an honor to have my poem ‘Torn’ in the latest issue of @westtrestal. I can’t think of a more appropriate poem to offer up as summer wind down.
