#PoemsAbout #WolvesAtTheDoor @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social Just saw this today, & as I’m nearing the end of my poem a day for a month challenge, a prompt was especially welcome.

Thanks for showing up for #PoemsAbout — you lot always bring it. Next Friday’s theme drops tomorrow, unless you're on the newsletter — then it's in your inbox today. But here’s the big one: Monday is #LiftToTheSky. Lift others. Give back. No ego. Just love.

So for #PoemsAbout #WolvesAtTheDoor I’ve reworked and renamed an old piece. This is ‘The Flood’. I’ll be back to read others pieces after I finish work. @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social
