If you crack up every time you see a dog doing something disgusting, Strays is right up your alley. Also, you may be a fucking moron.

gathering in herds
all my stray words
tied up in green silk
poetry I once built
all my stray words
formed bridges
across my soul
shovelling gold
into my wounds
burying pain whole

My nine month old(?) adolescent has been with us for a month. Now that the weather is changing, we are opening windows but he is really skittish about outside (born on this block) and hates them
Other cats I've had were "the block I own is well monitored, behold"
Any insights?

Most people don't understand 🐈🐈‍⬛

A single pair of unspayed and unneutered cats and their offspring can theoretically produce up to 420,000 kittens over the span of 7 years due to exponential breeding.

Communities that enact TNR programs for colonies can help to stop this.

Thanks as ever to @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk 🙏💜

Pale pink box with the words of a poem:

Stray

Where are my limbs straying
to
now –
can they not be controlled?
Across that fiery mountain range
curled round that warm tempting flesh
stiff with fear
flapping
happily –
no they cannot.
So I will tend you
my dear limbs
I will bathe you
in tongues
of shining oil
of stellar dust
of affection
until you rest quietly at my side.

Where are my eyes straying

@karmicmishap.bsky.social Sep 19, 2026, 3:58 PM

lights click on overhead
for what's better off said
is the essence of life
on the edge of a knife.
thinking of them is thoughtless
they would yowl, if they knew
how my head is full of dreams
of both them, and you.

ubiquitously
invisible;
sights, when seen, we forget
cats slinking all night
trying to get it right
get themselves through our day
unheeded.

strays of portland

she was a stray
a teen living on the streets
her mom tried to sell her
for crack
she didn't talk about her past
it seemed to pain her

he was a stray
another homeless teen
his stepdad beat him mercilessly
because he was gay
living in the cold was preferable
to bruises and broken bones

they had so little
and society looked spat on them
you'd think they'd be angry and bitter
treating others the way they were treated
but these things didn't keep them from
being kind and sweet and helping others

they were strays
teens living a life they shouldn't have to
and I hope they're okay today

I wrote this on my travels and it seems to fit #PoemsAbout #Strays

Making Amends On the way to the coffee shop beggars raise weather worn hands, palms open beneath bright signs as scooters split the rain
and phones flare in every hand. Inside, an American says
he has left America for good. Trump, he says, with the small embarrassment
of someone explaining a stain. His father was here once, twenty years old, a family in debt
and no bone spurs. He came with other boys
carrying rifles, photographs,
leaving questions no peace could answer.
The son has come by choice.
He speaks of debts, of what one country owes another, then lifts his cup and watches the street
through glass.
His father went home in '75. Later came Đổi Mới:
shutters lifted, English climbed the walls, Credit cards welcome
flowered on doors.
The waiter brings him the bill.
He taps without contact,
and waits for the screen's approval

I've been purging these strays out of my mind.

Frog At The Bottom Of The Well

There is no sin thriving on these hands
Nothing on these hands
I don't have
Not even love
Not even strays
And I don't have to explore these emotions

All of these strays, all of these frogs
Making eggs
Frothing in the well
Sliming in my well
And they poisoned my entire point of view.

Stray frogs on my hands, former friends I had no clue
Talking about me saying things that are untrue!
Poisoning my well while they are all stuck in there.
Gomenasai, their love have sent me to nowhere!

All these frogs, all these strays, all these frogs, all these strays, all these frogs, all these strays—
STUCK IN THERE!!

All of these strays I once called I once kept I once called, my dear friends all frothing deep in my old well!

A thousand eggs all filled
The lies that they shilled!
So tight was their embrace I'm running out of air!

All of these frogs I once kept I once kept I once kept as my friends but they changed, new legs bursting forth!

My new rule for myself is to purge all of these strays
From every part of me,
My head, my fingers, my toes, and my stomach!

There is no love writhing on these hands
Living in my head
I don't have
Not even care,
Not even Empathy—
The frogs in the well

All of the entrails, all the frogspawn
Churning legs
None of their names
All of their foam
Have spilled into my pristine, cold floor

All these frogs, all these strays, all these frogs, all these strays, all these frogs, all these strays—
DIE IN THERE!!

All of these strays I once cared I once paid I have grown so distant away from me because of their lies!

Secretions rubbed off of me
A neurotoxin!
Mouth foaming as I breathe long enough to say this:

All of these ingrates these tumors these strays I have known to be friends I thought they were but I'm shaking off!

My new rule for myself is to drain them from my well,
Out of my eyesight, my taste buds, my flashbacks, sensations of peace.
Viscera out of my well!

Watching them multiply

for this week's #PoemsAbout i'm trying to contain #Strays rather than describe them

@alanparrywriter.co.uk
@thebrokenspine.co.uk

#prompt #poetry #blueskypoetry #writesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #fictionwriters #poets #creativewriting

stray

i’m having that nightmare again
the one about the cars--the accident

until i wake
filled with the results of the late night
myself

the only salvation
hot
strong
coffee

later
i walk in the sun
without direction

the purposelessness feels sneaky
like a cold draft

let my mind wander
farther than my feet can carry

imagine myself
getting run down
by a passing car

i stop
when i am far enough away from home
to text
even though i've had my phone
in my hand the whole way

open our messages
type something
delete it

against the traffic i call
listen until
the ringing stops

when it’s my turn
i can’t remember
what to say

half-heartedly watch a movie after the sun goes down but turn it off part way realizing i’ll either cry soon or lose interest and i don’t have the spirit for either instead i try to write and nothing comes out nothing worthwhile only something about that stupid dream i’ve been having since i was old enough to remember i write about how this morning i wondered if my neighbors were dead in their apartment because i could hear their alarm clock going off for over an hour the rational response that they may have just been out didn’t occur to me until later but i select it all with the mouse and hit the delete key create a new document without a name and type

bagpipes are sexy

@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social Sep 18, 2026, 3:53 PM

For #PoemsAbout #Strays for @thebrokenspine.co.uk :

I'm Feral

I'll trash your tidy desk,
slap a photocopy of my bare arse,
above it that says
"kiss my arse".

I'll tip your rubbish bins
down the street

My fretted crests'll slop
over your
carefully built barriers

My spontaneous fires'll burn
your precious stuff

My earth'll move your home
shatter it to splinters

break your neat pavements
pothole your smooth roads

flood your flood defences
overgrow your borders
put weeds in your flowerbeds

steal your freshly sown seeds
bloody your egg laying chickens

swear at your mam and dad
then give them a hug

wide eyed I'll scarper
with a whistle
and skip down your street

shout "Anyone wanna shag me?"

And say, "Now, do you love me?"

#PoemsAbout #Strays #triolet

I grabbed on to a stray thought
I turned it over in my mind
My thoughts turned into a knot
I grabbed on to a stray thought
Clarity is what I sought
Alas, enlightenment was declined
I grabbed on to a stray thought
I turned it over in my mind
