The best feedback I ever got on a poem came from someone who had no reason to be kind.

That's the idea behind Penpal Poets.

And now
it has become a twilight sky,
far beyond the blue trees
a crow flying.

—Miyazawa Kenji, translated by Hiroaki Sato (a tanka from 1918)

"Imperfect".

Latest in a sequence "To Be Continued"; each starts with the last line of another poet's poem. (Very much a first draft.)

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #johncurry #odd

@sixtyoddpress.bsky.social

	(first line from John Curry's “Small Seconds” in "Odd" 1:3)


                                       the small seconds dropped into place
                                 snug in the spaces left for them

it’s in the calm before the storm
         that damage strikes
                                    and like the tingle in a tongue before a sneeze
                                                                                 the world fizzed
                                                                 each separated interval of time
                                                                                      a little bomb
                                                                                              exploding

                                                                                            recognition
                                                                        of the fear to come
                                                            days   weeks   months
                                           or even decades later

Or does it grind you right down?
Can the wind treat you gently
Or does it sweep you away?

"Ornamental Birds".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

           wind through hollow bones
and melody is flung into a deep-blue
                                 cloudless sky
                     sweet feathered quavers
                                         flutter-tongued
                                                                the mordant trills drop
                                                            slowly          floating
                                                                          on the thickening air

	*

                                                 the sun is interrupted
                                                              by a ragged wing
                                                        casting a chill shadow
                                                                         as it slides and turns
                  spiralling down as the air cools
       shrilling cries like barbs in the eardrum
                                         seeking murder
                                                  somewhere in the West

	*

                                                 white-vaned death
                                      a tacit spectre in the haunted skies
                                                                glimpsed at their end
                                                                      by shaken victims
                                                Tyto non angeli sed alba
                          as the new moon glistens
                                  on rime-limed twigs

'Poppies in October', by Sylvia Plath. I only wish I could write like this.

Poppies in October by Sylvia Plath

Even the sun-clouds this morning cannot manage such skirts.
Nor the woman in the ambulance
Whose red heart blooms through her coat so astoundingly —

A gift, a love gift
Utterly unasked for
By a sky

Palely and flamily
Igniting its carbon monoxides, by eyes
Dulled to a halt under bowlers.

O my God, what am I
That these late mouths should cry open
In a forest of frost, in a dawn of cornflowers.Image of poppies in a field, blue sky and clouds.

"Mary Wortley Montagu (1689–1762)".

From "Last Words", a sequence of poems each starting with the last words (sometimes apocryphal) of a well-known person.

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #lastwords

Mary Wortley Montagu (1689–1762)

        It has all been most interesting
                                       (if not always pleasant)
                             but this body
                       that has served me well
                                         from Nottingham
                                                  to the Ottomans
                           has turned on me at last
or rather
                    on itself
                                       and there is nothing
                             that inoculates us
                    against death
