Sunday's treat: a snowman doughnut with vanilla cream filling ☃️

Amiri Baraka ♥️

"Growing up in Juneville was exciting in a bad way. Chrissy had learned young not to wish on a shooting star but to run into the house and hide in the basement." 🌠 Check out this flash by @melostrom.bsky.social

"I told myself it was the yellow streetlight / that made her legion. Her tripling rooted me / to the spittle flying out of her mouth, the gap / between her teeth widening." Check out these poems by @benetthewriter.bsky.social

QUESTION: Were I to teach a generative workshop of some sort, is this something poetry folks would be interested in? And if so, what days/times are ideal? Thank you in advance for any insights! I’m really just floating this out there! 💙

Ready, Set, Go! Tomorrow (Fri) post your #SelfPortrait #poem. Get feedback (UK & PST times) from @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social & me (sponsor of 1 #TheWhiskeyTree #Untamed #Wave1 set #giveaway. Winner selected Sat.) #PoemsAbout #celebrate #poetry #writingcommunity

Always a joy to celebrate the good work of others. This masterful #poem by sylviasays2.bsky.social is a perfect example. @karinhedet.bsky.social @jenwithwords.bsky.social #DonnaFaulkner too! #Ekphrastic #FolkArt #Folklore #creativewriting #poetry #prose #FolkHeartPress bit.ly/49eUbHc
