Just published in Book of Matches, Issue 15! online.fliphtml5.com/qoqiq/pdvr/#...
🪓 “Heads Up, Paris!” is my ode to the French Revolution—with flying carrots, mini guillotines, and more dark humor even the French would love!

Teenage Pregnancy Here comes the changing of the clocks inside me. Counting down the hours, minutes, seconds. Breathe, not breathe; step, not step. There are no smoothed boulders, gateposts. This is the time! How can I, we, not exist; we are here already. Us, two of us. Measuring our existence, flashing eyes ablaze.
A poem from @wishbonewords.bsky.social Issue 15 with acknowledgements to #GillianClarke and #VelimirKhlebnikov. Though mostly recognising the master of time, #VelimirKhlebnikov who knew a lot, an awful lot, about critical junctures in life. #teenagepregancy #poetrybluesky #poetrytransitions

I wrote this for Father’s Day this year for two of my boys that are fathers. Their brother is a wonderful uncle, but that’s a very difficult word to work into poetry lol. 😂😂😂

This Pride we’re spotlighting some of the queer poets from The Aftershock Review: Issue One. We’re starting with Dale Booton.
Dale’s poem Wide Awake doesn’t soothe. It stings.

On the days when you feel ashamed of your scars, your mind only registering how ugly they are rather than the beauty they prove of you having survived, remember that there is an entire art form dedicated to filling the cracks of broken things with lacquered gold. An entire art form proves that even the broken and damaged history of an object is beautiful and should be treasured. Remember how much more you are than an object. Remember your survival, your journey, your scars deserve to be treasured too.
Today I will post my favourite Nikita Gill poem, just because...

Clown in the moon
My tears are like the quiet drift
Of petals from some magic rose;
And all my grief flows from the rift
Of unremembered skies and snows.
I think, that if I touched the earth,
It would crumble;
It is so sad and beautiful,
So tremulously like a dream.
Dylan Thomas

UNNECESSARY PRESCRIPTION
Not a cure. A craving.
This poem?
Written in caffeine, lust, and insomnia.
My voice. My music. My plea.
Love me back to life.

Like spinach stuck in
my cerebrum dentatum—
I can't quite pick you.
And you mar my bitter smile
from thoughts I’d rather forget.

From Ribblehead Viaduct Clare Bonetree Possibilities proliferate across the map Ant trails in green and pink, outside Tracks crawl about the green and yellow Hills and rolling dales cleft with tussock-sided streams Seen from above, as if by birds with diesel wings.
Lovely sunny day out yesterday so we got the train from Leeds to Appleby, and I wrote a poem, first in ages! #SettleCarlisleRailway #poetryBluesky #poetry #writing
