An Amazon link, but a lot of small presses have used its production service to make and distribute books. This small press that published my last #poetry chapbook is no exception. If you buy my book. The press gets paid, and I get paid. So please consider buying here.

COLDER

Come closer now, as you did in the
Old days when warmth flowed. When
Love held the cold at bay, stopped the
Dark shaping me with its shadows. Now
Everything drifts into new forms, still I
Remember who you were.

Claims once made lie broken as bridges
Over rivers sealed by the ice of many winters.
Light thins early; its meagre heat
Drawing farther out each day.
Every silence settles like fresh frost.
Remember the sun, it will return to another sky.

	i
You, who have nothing wrong
cannot imagine.
The ashen-faced trudge along,
their eyes beaming as they walk.
In the old days everyone there knew
the amusement won’t last.


	ii
You arrive in the year of the ram,
the rest is your journey now.
Like the rest of us, you ran away once:
           such want in the air
where I found you —
our best years in the village fields.


	iii
I used to find it barbaric, mother,
in small distant cubes of light.
It’s hideous to witness but
but how beautifully she can dance,
In my sleep Bei Dao’s voles are there
and the low echo of a question.

Listen to the RADIO
My Days Are Numbered (11/?)

Photo and poem (also in alt text).

#poetry #writingcommunity #lifttotheaky #radio

Photo, no descriptionNothing remains to show
but waves on empty shores.
Static hat tricks in window pane
cruise miracle miles,
boardwalk style,
up to Granny’s and back again.

In space there is a broadcast wall
that travels and shakes ports of call
to the Milky Way’s edge and ever on.
If anyone ever hears those things
morning DJs and telephone rings,
will we remain or like Granny be gone?

To cement a relationship's hard;
A big challenge, and that's no canard.
Issues shouldn't be ducked,
Else you might self-destruct.
(Then again, I am naught but a bard.)

A train leaves. A street remains. 🚆 Some journeys change us without a sound. Where would you go if you could leave today? #haiku #travelpoetry #poetry #DailyHaikus

A travel-inspired haiku about a departing train, a remaining street, and journeys that quietly change us.

Every #Wednesday we'll share a #waterford. Respond with your own (4 lines; 8, 4, 4, 8 syllables; ABBA rhyming scheme). These are slices of feel-good art so keep them positive!

Image of a waterford printed in black on a white brick background.

Pollinators by Jan Haag

Soft susurrus of wind through trees
now that spring’s here,
sweet time of year-
literally, it’s the bee’s knees.


This week's waterford is a winner of the 2026 annual waterford competition, as chosen by Molly Twomey. It appears in "Duanaire - collected waterfords", the world's first poetry collection of waterfords which is edited by Kevin MacAlan, and features over 300 poems written by more than 90 poets from all over the globe. Copies of the anthology are available now: waterfordrhyme.com/#buyduanaire

And yet — the doctrine does not forbid what it cannot explain. If something survives the crossing that was not carried, question it. Do not assume it is corruption. Do not assume it is permission.

Mist holds the Black Forest close,

yet one lamp still walks the path—

#bravery needs no fanfare.

Random art question:
what if Mondrian himself
designed these windows?

I'm seeking something to pair with this poem, preferably older, but alternatively feel free to suggest something of your own which has the same 'feel'/mood, but not the same form. #poetry #poems #poetrycommunity

@artisounds.bsky.socialOct 14, 2026, 6:48 PM

All those people throughout history
Rising for centuries against #slavery
Through defiant acts of #bravery
Sacrificing their lives so others could walk free!
In the end, the enslaved and their allies were victorious
And #liberty and #justice triumphed, bold and glorious!

with space-time fluctuations
