aaand I did it
I did the 12 #poems in 12hrs thing
I'm unsure whether no. 8 is genius or a bit meh, and the last two are haikus that are definitely a bit meh (#endo pain had fully kicked in by then, so I def wasn't doing my best work anymore)
but whatevs. I did it. go team me
#PoetryMarathon2025
9hrs/9 poems done
3hrs/3 poems to go
I think the optional official prompt for the last one was meant to inspire #scifi / existential vibes... and that's what I did, for a bit; eventually though, I ended up in #monsterfuckery territory* (bc of who I am as a person 😅💙👽)
#poetry #PoetryMarathon2025
6hrs/6 #poems down
6hrs/6 poems to go
--- made it to halfway!
last one was another poem made up entirely of #haikus, 7 this time, and very specifically meant as a tie-in to my #photography work.
I love seeing what my brain cooks up under pressure!

2½ hrs & 2½ #poems info the #PoetryMarathon2025 - so far, so good*
*(I am tired & headachy, bits of me hurt and I almost quit before I began, but with the support of @incompletemachine.bsky.social I kicked thats
defeatist attitude right in the shin, and now we're in business)
