Obit.

     β€˜Call no man happy until he is dead.’

               Solon to Croesus, King of Lydia

What the words about dead men tell us
are rarely the stories of their lives.
Their accomplishments in summary,
their tragedies, unwon ambitions,

can never answer, β€˜Were they happy?’
What will they write of me when I die?
What words will be chosen to defend
me, to praise my work? Why should I care?

The truth of a man cannot be known
while he lives and eats and walks and breathes.
Obituaries weigh only facts.
Our eudaimonia goes with us.

First poem of 2026, written in the last hour for #promptcombo's #subtext theme this week with host @victoriaspires.bsky.social. The observant (and Ancient Greek literate) among you may notice what I did at the end of the very first line. πŸ˜‰

Oh, sorry I missed this last night Jude! Or rather, I thought I'd seen you'd posted but then didn't find it. This is perfect for #subtext. Spot on. That last line is so good as well. Thanks for getting involved in this week πŸ™πŸΌ

The Gauge Of Love



Sat in the middle of love:
bowl of cereal 
in the kitchen,
under vapour trails
from your bouts
of circling busyness

with a son on my left,
his homework 
battling
the internet;

you telling me 
spilt coffee-drops
are a scar,
and suddenly,
all the other things
you have held in
or found.

This is mid-love,
I guess;
not by the seating
in an ever tightening
room,
but a needle 
recording
(just for tonight),
its half-drained level.

Apparently #northernlights have been seen tonight on this swirling chaotic drifting evening. What's the message we're being sent, the #subtext under the colours? #poetrycombo

Subtext

The data bloomed first in the flowering rate,
petals opening out of season, too soon,
phenology flagged but filed as debate.

Roots altered depth, mangroves learned the moon,
fish rerouted spawning maps with care,
currents shifted, plankton read the monsoon.

Corals ghosted white in warming air,
trees closed stomata, seas changed breath,
and still we called it noise, not care.

A nature/climate change poem. Thanks for the #PromptCombo topic #subtext and the challenging terza rima. Hope I cracked the structure. 🫣
Hope you feel brighter this week @victoriaspires.bsky.social

A poem by Debbie Ross entitled focused
a single stanza with text as follows:


He's looking at me, nodding occasionally with a faint murmur of ascent, but I catch the flick of eyes to the TV, clocking the score in the afternoon rugby.

Hi @victoriaspires.bsky.social and all the #PromptCombo Crew I thought I’d add my two-penneth worth of #poetry to this week’s #subtext theme. Simple as always.
Thanks for hosting and setting the theme. Hope it fits OK.

Literally

If they actually, suddenly
took their god as written,
it would be impossible
to find a spot to fish
among the pharisaic
barkers crowding
the pier with millstones
around their necks.

I don't often do that much #Subtext so thanks to @victoriaspires.bsky.social for the #PromptCombo incentive. I was also inspired by her Late Poppies poem, so here's one I created in November and have edited a wee bit.

The original prompt was 5 line vignette, a Proper Noun and onomatopoeia.
