Those who hold such moulds of abuse steady too often old others accountable for the suffering. Tightly drawn here. #PoemsAbout #BreakingTheMould @alanparrywriter.co.uk

The church as a symbol of dogma so well-crafted here. Rules upon rituals upon rules ... Enjoyed the cleaving! #PoemsAbout #BreakingTheMould @alanparrywriter.co.uk

Makes me think of the awakening of self-awareness which demands of us what we unfortunately cannot get from others. #PoemsAbout #BreakingTheMould @alanparrywriter.co.uk

The connection between #breakingthemould & 'startling chance' exposes the ephemeral nature of certainty. Very well done! #PoemsAbout #BreakingTheMould @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk

I designed the background in Canva (no AI) to look vaguely like mossy forest and a path, using Canva stock images and tools. The text is plain and white, except the first instance of the word 'hope', which is bright, light yellow and in cursive font. The text reads: I wrapp'd a blind over my eyes and felt along the path of green; when suddenly, to my surprise - my fingers sens'd some hope between a rock and log, enmesh'd in moss. So fluster'd by this hope was I, I tripp'd and fell, my phone I lost. I sat, forgetting with a sigh, the reason for this venture took. So precious hope is in this age, I reach'd back into that small nook in desp'rate quest to re-assuage my notion found by startling chance, that somehow broke expected mould. My urges grew to sneak a glance until my blind I did unfold. Just green I saw surrounding me, in shade so deep of eldest tree. Sat deep in shade of eldest tree I could not find a guarantee...

When reaching into a #HiddenRecess I found something #BreakingTheMould but with no solid guarantees..

This is the source of freedom, of #breakingthemould isn't it? Rise up and be counted. Perhaps one of the best rallying cries there can be!

Excellent: I memorized the open of water of another, the other, / for perhaps a repeat of youth’s wake-up of autumn day. And a great personalization of a powerful poem! #poemsabout #breakingthemould @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #staycreative

This #breakingthemould reclaims a life, let's the narrator choose the inheritance/genealogy that is most important and resonant. A nice take on the #poemsabout theme. @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #staycreative

The closing 2 stanzas of this #poemsabout

Such rich imagery. That second stanza is a world unto itself, beautifully described. #poemsabout #breakingthemould @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

The physical pinch of this hurts. Really well done. Those first 2 lines of the last stanza are the words of an oracle telling us to beware of what may come. Really wonderful read #poemsabout #breakingthemould @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

2 kinds of mould so cleverly wrapped. Nice. #poemsabout #breakingtheMould @alanparrywrites.co.uk @brokenspine.co.uk #StayCreative

That first line sets the stage beautifully. Full of unexpected promise that is kept. #PoemsAbout #BreakingTheMould @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Ouch. We mold on one another; can each other like sardines. Eerie. #PoemsAbout #BreakingTheMould @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk
