Morning lovelies, what an amazing find yesterday, Helen Garner exploring the drafting of Eliot's Four Quartets, illustrious parent to my little books exploring the poetic journey. #poetry #poets #redrafting #TheProcessofPoetry #poetsofbluesky

My frank case against the #Trump presidency in 10 parts...#TheTrumpYears is a #poetic howl about living under the daily nightmare of the first #Trump administration
It’s very relevant for the horror we are living through today...

Today we celebrate: T. S. Eliot's Birthday

#EliotsBirthday #Eliot #Playwrights #Poets

These days...
Freedom's Kiss
tastes like enduring a
tongue kiss
from an old
rotting
decrepit
loser
reeking of
halitosis
fascism
and ugly lies
Leaves me retching
choking
on the implications
of all we've lost
and a fading future
Everything seems
hollow now
the land of once free
#poetry #poets

This is the state of our disunion
A notice of dissolution.
Failures of communication

Embracing fantasies and easy lies
instead of hard solutions
until it’s too late to heal all the
heartbreak.

Complaining about the cost of eggs and gas…
A bitter memory as they deport your family and send you to concentration camp
ignorance won’t save you
in the face of fascism
as you clung so desperately to your racism
They said it couldn’t happen here
#poems #booksky #poets #fascism

They said it couldn’t happen here
now your future is a boot heel on your neck
choking off your dreams of freedom
they don’t keep their fascist dreams hidden, kid
making excuses for missing fascists in plain sight
smiling behind blue suits and lies as they steal your rights
