Morning #PromptCombo crew. It's me hosting this week and the theme is #Subtext. This poem is a #terzarima and very much not in my usual style (written as an exercise with @noelcowley.bsky.social some while ago). You don't have to write one, though (I know how much @hool415.bsky.social hates form) 😁

Convenience puts pots and glasses on the top shelf so he has to stretch to reach them. They wobble precariously. Buys the heaviest vacuum cleaner so his arms ache when he lugs it upstairs. It has the shortest lead, or the battery is flat. He packs as many delicate ornaments as he can on the smooth surfaces so he has to remove them when he polishes. His shower curtain is held in place By half full shower gel containers that fall off as he moves to get clean. Water splatters everywhere as he balances the bottles on the side to hold down the wafting curtain.

Hi @dragonslayerma.bsky.social squeaking in for your #promptcombo #NightFall with this poem I wrote a couple of years ago. I may have posted it on here before but I feel it fits. And reminds me of a happy time in beautiful Lisbon ☺️ x

Night falls on us
and we grimace
feign acceptance
that this, is justice.

Hello #PromptCombo 2026 and our New Year host Fidel @dragonslayerma.bsky.social for #Nightfall. I've gone down a rabbit hole on this one, as ever. It's a first draft so may be a bit clunky in places. 🫟
Mitternacht The Bible tells you that the light is there to sweat your night candle, a blessing for believing that the darkness will perish, however much it descends and drags you reluctantly with it, holding you in that suffocating lonely shroud of purgatory, telling yourself always that it’s safe to close your eyes, that the dark never was yours, only the loan of the sun to the other side, spinning a cocoon to fix you fast and still, your formless nightly dream predators passing sentence on your inner discords and endgames while you sleep. © Glenn Barker January 2026
