"Beaufort".

from a sequence "To Be Continued"; each starting with the last line of another poet's poem.

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #laurineverweijen
@prototypepubs.bsky.social

(first line from Laurine Verweijen [transl. Astrid Alben] “Now We Circumnavigate Each Other” in "Prototype" 7)


                 this time I will take the wind with me
                                                       in a brown paper bag
                                                 and sit with it waiting
                                                             on a five-barred gate

                                                                       when the hounds are heard
                                                                  and the shrill unlovely note
                                                                                         of a horn
                                                      when the horses follow
                                          bearing little sparks of malice
                                                                 bundled up in unappealing
                                                                            red-faced flesh

                    then I shall open my paper bag
             and watch as all are swept away
                                 arms and legs whirling
                                                      up over woods and hills
                                                                  out across the cliffs and waves
                                                                            dropped into the deeps

I made a site where you send your poem to a stranger and get real feedback back.

No followers, no likes, no algorithm. Just your poem and someone who actually read it.

Here's my termly call out for lighter poems, or at least poems which don't involve death, ie the sort to which I am naturally drawn 😊 These were our latest powerful pieces by Gail McConnell and Fiona Hall. Please share. #poetrycommunity #poets #poetry #poems #poetsofbluesky

Poets of Bluesky — I built something small.

You send a poem to a random stranger. They read it and write back with honest feedback. No profiles, no metrics. Just the poem.

Fall Romp

See them scatter in the wind
Amid #autumnal cascades
As we jump into piles made
Of leaves in seasonal shades
Composing playgrounds of feverish glee
For all to admire laughingly.

Did he #rescue her?
What a conundrum it is
A terrible choice

The door goes somewhere
I #forbid you from going
You can't disappear

The #snow is not white
What a mystery it is
It will change next time

I dance through the night
The #moon watches over me
It controls my soul

The #frog stared at me
I think it wants my liver
What should I do now?

It swings left and right
Gotten as a gorgeous gift
A unique fox #tail

Beauty surrounds us
The #constellations are bright
Choose what to look at

A #chill raced through me
The kind dark and foreboding
It brought nothing good

                     beside the long
                                             slow
                                     waters
                               of the broad Huang he
                                                 which wander
                                                        on their journey
                                              from Tibet
                                      down
                     to the Bohai Sea
             two boys
    robed as monks
                sit watching
                        as the sluggish
                 current flows               when one hears a water bird
                                                                    the other sees it dive
                                                                     when one smells
                                                                   the long-awaited rain
                                                              the other feels the drops
                                                                                 upon his face

                                    on one boy’s lap
                                                   an open box
                                          from which he takes
                                                               a lotus flower
                                                 and gives it to his friend

                               the other takes a lotus flower
                                         out of an open box
                                                          and gives his friend
           and still the Huang he                        the box
   slowly runs
                  towards
                          a wooden argosy
                                           which waits
                                        immense and stately
                   for the wind and tide
           to come together
and its great adventure
     to begin

Stair Poem (After A.A. Milne)

Photo and poem (also in alt text)

(4/?)

#poetry #poetsofbluesky #architecture #nycpoetry #poem #nyc #lifttothesky #writingcommunity

Photo, no descriptionAfter A.A. Milne—

A lifetime can be whiled away
at the bottom of the staircase,
gazing up at how many flights
rest unbidden and waiting.

A lifetime can be whiled away
at the top of the staircase,
ogling back at what’s climbed,
longing need for those passed.

But a lifetime can be found
only somewhere on a middle stair—
when your legs are heaviest
and your eyes are locked

on nothing but the next
step that must be taken.
