A poem from my #PromptCombo contribution placed alongside some stickers of flowers and butterflies, meant as a counterpoint of my mental health-themed piece that states that sometimes all I'd really like is calm and nature when I'm stuck in the throws of trauma...

So, yeah, thanks to #PromptCombo and @victoriaspires.bsky.social @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social in the main (who both own at better promotion than I do) I've taken a bunch of poems I wrote since late last year, plus a Christmas gift of stickers and...

done stuff ^^

Non Finito I - Les Taches et les Touches Peaches so real They cease to be Edible - Indestructible in their Thingness, Ineluctable in their Hereness. Hours spent Studying brushstrokes; Fruit outstared until it Decays into abstract Mosaics of light - Vision Splintered into Hued rudiments. Quilted streaks of paint - Les taches et les touches* - Patch-daub panoply of Hint and sense probed into a Suggestive nexus of Line and edge: Forms brittle but Scrutable; Forms Fastidious in their Ambiguity. Photon truth Eyeballed as Scant-adequate Clue for Unravelling by Brains so Calibrated that Reality fails to Resolve on its Own. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 *Refers to the fundamental duality or tension in the novel approach to painting devised by Cézanne and Pissarro.

"Still Life with Peaches & Apples" (1905) by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906)

Such a richly suggestive #PromptCombo #ThingInItself, thanks to @victoriaspires.bsky.social

Animate Nature Apart from our own efforts to know their essences, a silver birch itself, its ministrations at the lake. Or the dove’s cooing locutions, humble beatitudes, and ablutions, performed with fullest heart.

A small poem on animate nature as #ThingInItself, unfettered by our perceptions and without the schema we later attach to it. Tenderness could exist even without our human conception of it. A child's sense of wonder may come closer to reality.

This isn't appearing in the #PromptCombo #ThingInItself thread on my screen, so reposting. One of those days.

I'm more familiar with physics than philosophy, although my A level were a very long time ago. Aiming for some intentional ambiguity and playful exploration of ideas of spectra and dual nature.

Initial response to #PromptCombo @victoriaspires.bsky.social this week was 'What?! And laptop won't load poems. So I've done this - which I wanted to post anyway (photo my own)

All three of my @cablestreet-litmag.bsky.social poems have a certain #DingAnSich dimension. I’ll record them all this week. Here’s the first. Langdale Pikes @victoriaspires.bsky.social #promptcombo #thinginitself #poemsaloud #poetrycommunity

DM for Removal by S. Reeson I stopped reading some time ago occasionally a friend breaks through manufactured noise clumsy visual cues the terrible repetition often mislabelled to see if someone will reply asking this was never about anything but stolen every moment meant to be distraction has become a broken art pulling out procrastination from minds no longer wishing to be filled except this bitter light has no effect on me the one who thrives on blocks of altering erasure to a game the thing in itself eroding will is self destruction I may be too long broken to be worn but still find better means to grow

#PromptCombo #ThingInItself @victoriaspires.bsky.social. Intentionally left the cursor in the screenshot. This is another ‘based on the last thing I did before picking up Bluesky’ poems. This time you get to guess what that was. This has been a useful exercise <3

A very high bar from Victoria Spires this week for #promptcombo The #DingAnSich #ThingInItself in Kant’s conception beyond the reach of our phenomenological apparatus. Through Victoria, the sage of Konigsberg will peruse your efforts.

(The prompt has riches beyond German idealism, however. Enjoy.)

Happy #PromptCombo Monday! This week's theme is #ThingInItself (or #DingAnSich if you prefer the German). This is a WIP from something really cool I'm working on with @benedictan.bsky.social 👀

It's a short window this week – you've got until end of Wednesday only to join in as after I'll be away 🙏🏼

For #promptcombo and theme - #allowed - a poem about shedding worry on the wheelroad of life and duties.

#poetry #writing

For #PromptCombo, I've shared this before but not in this format. With thanks to poets whose recent #PoemsAloud reminded me of it. 🐦‍⬛

The process of writing & recording these bittersweet poems has fully #allowed me to look ahead & enjoy writing other things.

#PromptCombo - My #Allowed on Wednesday

In my idle time,
These volatile crocuses
Are cared by myself,
This I allow myself to
Allow my joy to exist.

Allowed I am not allowed out of here, bound to the life that lies withering. I am not allowed to leave. Promises have to be kept. I am not allowed to run free. Duty sits deep, binding my hands. I am not allowed to be clean, stains ingrained over years. I am only allowed to be what is needed. An obituary for a misremembered existence.

For #PromptCombo #Allowed and @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

It's a running joke in our house that I'm a rule follower, which is partly by personality and partly by conditioning - it was quite a cultural phenomenon, growing up.

Not sure about this one, vague musings here. Thoughts welcome!

@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social
I made this poetry film today to celebrate the publication of the Unwhispered Legacy anthology but wanted to also share it for your #PromptCombo theme, as it very much explores the concept of whether or not something is #allowed, and what we can choose to do about it.

Here's my somewhat off the cuff response to this week's #PromptCombo #Allowed. Many thanks to Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for hosting. Looking forward to reading other offerings during the week
