Ha! Likely the cheese. And a good dose of liberal theology education.

Here's my #free40 #promptcombo. Hope it doesn't offend.

Bird-bone delicate. Love it

Anyone else here lose the whole week's string of #PromptCombo posts? When I checked in this morning, wanting to read through some older posts, it only showed me new ones from just today. Had to add #Powerless to my search to get it all back, and still not sure it's all there.

So appreciative of your repost! Thank you

Haunted - Dissident Voice DNA connects me to centuries of selkies, kelpies and banshees answering for the wrongs done to or by those who knew the stories of their past with an intimacy we don’t imagine today. I’ve never believ...

Recently discovered the online journal Dissident Voice. They publish a handful of social justice-themed poems each Sunday. Here's one of mine from last week.

Thanks @rfsmith.bsky.social for hosting this week's #PromptCombo #Powerless. Here's a fairly literal response which turns a little gloomy at the end. Looking forward to reading other offerings from the #PoetryCommunity in due course

I know the wild jump between the first and second stanzas is there but trust me... it gets worse.

Really like this. And I've learned a new word: susurrus. Thanks!

So powerful. Fuck this war indeed.

Wow. Thanks, Ronnie, for your attentive read and thoughtful response!

Thank you, Jan!

Thanks so much, David. Wrote that a few months ago; at a time we thought things couldn't possibly get worse.

I've never posted twice in one week to #promptcombo, but I think this one fits the theme of #powerless and the times we live in. @rfsmith.bsky.social

A 2 stanza poem by Debbie Ross entitled Illusions Text as follows: A vote in a democracy, a bill through the letterbox, a result from a test, a credit card in a wallet, a roof over your head. Power-crazed lunatics running the show, protest won't stop them, neither will hope.

Morning, Ronnie @rfsmith.bsky.social and the rest of the crew, thanks for this week’s #PromptCombo #powerless This was what came to mind and as you can tell I’ve not spent any time working on it. #poetrycommunity #poetry

So very true.

Lovely. Rings so true. "How do I cross the silence? / I speak, / but the air swallows my comfort."

Happy birthday! Lovely poem.

Thanks, Emily! I really appreciate that.

Thanks @rfsmith.bsky.social for this week’s #promptcombo #powerless. Here’s one about the powerlessness that comes with an aging body.

Very tender. Lovely.

Bad Timing its pretty petals over the brown lifeless bed

Grateful to America Magazine for publishing my poem "Bad Timing."

Thank you very much @victoriaspires.bsky.social for your #PromptCombo #Rupture. Inspired by @sueimnw.bsky.social's witty #haiku I was hoping to produce something light and witty about 'a secret rupture' but it all got a bit gloomy....

Wow. Powerful, relatable emotion. Very nice.
