We’ve spent years amplifying poetry that actually means something. Now, Southport has a space for it—#ThePoetryConjecture. No clichés, no compromise. Just words that cut through the noise. March 19th, 2025. Be part of it. 🔗 shorturl.at/TYbU7

@brokenspinearts.bsky.social #poemsabout #BetweenTheSheets took me back to an old (2007) poem and had me re-work it... what a lovely exercise; something old, almost forgotten, brought back to life... #poetrycommunity #poetry

Where the stream meets the sea; this wee stream (Allt Creag Uisdein with a few additions from the hills around) has shifted so much with the last month's storms. A small pool has formed above here and there are now two broad channels.

Couldn't get my head around last week's #poemsabout #oldskin until last night. Thanks to @brokenspinearts.bsky.social for the challenge, I really had to turn this one on its head to get anywhere :-)
