Big bow back to the editor in chief Damien B Donnelly @eatthestorms.com and sub-editor @rhonagreene.bsky.social for accepting my poem for publication within the forthcoming issue V of The Storms Journal. It somehow feels even more special, if that's possible, the second time round. Top of the world!

I’m trying to share a new story each month. This story was inspired by two pieces of art: Break Down by Michael Landy and Las Meninas by Velázquez. It’s very short if you want to take a look! Relaxing Sunday all. kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2025/11/23/o...

Question for poetry people. I've been on this platform for a good while now but I've been idle. How is it going here for all things poetry? I'm still on X but I hardly see any poetry topics on it at all anymore.
