Good morning! My poem for #PoemsAbout #Bites is a revision of a poem I wrote for Paul Brookes @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social ekphrastic challenge with art by @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social Thank you as always to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk I'll be back later!

Poem: Choices: Divergence, Convergence In the woods, you choose a road, this one, or the other, perhaps they are the same—or not— perhaps you meet a snake with jeweled lapis scales, perhaps he offers you this or that, his tongue flicking words you catch poison-sweet on your tongue-- perhaps instead you see a wave of wildflowers, nodding their heads, scenting the path just before the strike, the bite. Art work by Karen Pierce Gonzalez, a snake in spring green, aqua, yellow, and orange, studded with round blue jewels or buttons. Black background.

Friday again so it's thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk for another #PoemsAbout #Bites
This one was inspired by my Dad's love of sailing and stories of the coast from Texel up to the Wadden Zee.

The Bite of the Bight Whispering winds transformed Northerly storms Giants of the Arctic Whistling down, around, Engulfing de Duitse Bocht Ship sheltering between isles and land Evading the short grey Northern Sea For something worse to come Silent swells forecasting Omens of volatile seas Of something worse brewing, Frozen fingers gathering bights, Shortening the sheets, Reefing sails ready For rolling waves, Unexpected mud and sand Shifting creeks, twisting channels The triumvirate of Wadden rivers Leviathans alone Carving treacherous shoals Surging tides, billowing waves, Rolling with the wind Calling the Waarschip to the depths Entrenched, consumed, chilled By a bitterly biting sea

#PoemsAbout #Bites

A poem about nibbles. Which I think is a terrible word. I don't know why. But I have tried to think about it in writing this.

Nothing bites more
than the pain of rejection
that feeling of being bitterly ignored
A voice to be heard
but heads turn away
people rush past
ignoring the calls
that are louder than bombs
while the storm clouds
hang low above our heads

Biter's Block Wood creaks between my jaws. Coarse rubber and the tang of metal on my tongue as I sink my teeth into the pencil. The prompt is #Bites. I roll the wet, splintered shaft along serrated ivory edges and ponder. Snake bites? Flea bites? Biting an apple? A crust of jam and bread? ... His shoulder? I wonder how to convey in lyrical flights the feelings and notions arising from 'bites'. But I munch on in vain at the well chewed observer of an empty page. 2B, or not 2B? The letters have long since succumbed to dental destruction.

From my out of print collection "Port of Souls"
for #PoemsAbout #Bites and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Hand Biters Always snap at the hand that feeds, cossets, cuddles and hugs, fists, hits and kicks. Oppose, depose, make of it yourself. Pull on the leash, snap the manacle, challenge this ships captain, sit on your plastic chair. Tell your voices you'll decide yourself. If she does not wake you know your job. Before she closed her eyes she rehearsed tasks that you must be complete. How to empty her home, sell it, pass your childhood on to others. Be firm In what must be done. Make yourself.

This poem is about a brilliant woman and her son. They continue to inspire me. He wasn’t able to remain at his local school which she was devastated about, but described her relief that ‘the walk of shame’ was over. #PoemsAbout #Bites @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetry

I will put a reading in the comments. Midnight here in New Jersey. I expect to be out and about during the day, so I may be s little slower playing catchup.

THEM BONES suggestive of cannibalism bones have been found in caves broken and gnawed by our neolithic ancestors pseudo-christian white nationalist politicians have been found in congress gnawing bribes suggestive of economic cannibalism ted cruz craves a “mexican on monday” slurping blood from undocumented calvaria on the tailgate of an unmarked ford explorer mike johnson who nibbles knuckles under his desk behind a locked door claims he “doesn’t know anything about that” cinnabar stained bones found in certain strata suggest deliberate caretaking and ritual ceremony shitty grifters smeared with trump diaper slime licking their greedy fingers suggests that dc is unceremoniously drowning innocents
