It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of reading glasses must be want of remembering to take the fucking things with him when on the way to a poetry reading.

Good morning, Bluesky. Still snowing here though I think temps are due to rise above zero today 🥶

Today’s #photooftheday has to be yesterday’s beach shot as it was so pretty and the beach doesn’t often get a dousing of snow.

Keep warm and have a good day, folks.

A photo of a beach covered with snow up to the low tide mark. Snowy dunes above. A silver sea with snow covered hills on the horizon pinky clouds low over them and a blue sky above.

The amazing @katiejenkinspoet.bsky.social's #Trilogy #WifeWidowWitch is a devastatingly beautiful study of womanhood — of inheritance, grief, and transformation.

It’s one of the most arresting poetry debuts of the year.

Ok so.

This is my friend Jack. He writes spooky things.

Apparently, I completely failed to follow him back on here.

By way of pennance, I am posting that you should all go and follow Jack 😂

For #poemsabout #LockedDoors @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk
Harsh Words Spoken Harsh words spoken to me are a locked door. Harsh words I wish to reply are locked in. My red face will not let them on the floor. Turns the lock within, silences the din. A child locked out when mum and dad argue. Crane your ears to hear the cuts and slashes, wound yourself as get too close to the feud, and wet your bed and shame embarrasses. You keep the steel trap door shut and shutdown any further outbursts, lock it all in and further in, dig deep grave deeper down, bury others on top so it can't spin out of the hole, release the others too. Scream out of your head till you're black and blue.

It’s after midnight so here’s my piece for #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors

‘Saturday Exile c.2002’

Another excellent prompt.

@thebrokenspine.co.uk

Looking forward to reading and replying on Friday and over the weekend
Saturday Exile c.2002 I am a phantasm. Haunting the doorstep, binliner of my life cushioning head. Ben Sherman shirts aren’t made for alfresco sleeping— cotton is cold at 2am. At least the linger of whisky keeps me warm. A drunken day turned into drunker night. When the golden hour strikes I’ll fade into my walls haven / sanctuary / prison hell / heaven ©️ Paul Short, 2025

Hello #poetrycommunity @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk This is my slim offering for todays #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors thanks as always to reader and sharers I’ll be popping in and out as time allows. Looking forward to your contributions.

#poetry #poems
A poem by Debbie Ross entitled Shut Out Or Shut In Body text as follows In my dreams there is locked door after locked door, down a never ending corridor. I don't know what it means, I rarely remember dreams, but I remember the feeling of panic, of not being able to get through to get to you.

Welcome one and all for this week's @thebrokenspine.co.uk for the #PoemsAbout theme of #LockedDoors, and why they might be locked, what lies behind them.
Until Alan returns please keep the sharing and feedback alive. It took a long time to build #PoemsAbout to the community it is today. 🎯
The Other Side of Truth Some of them don’t look like doors at all. Take wallets and bank accounts for instance; neither you nor I can see over those walls. We take it on trust what’s on the other side. There’s always something there, something you can rely on; call it truth. But this truth is only ever half of the story, even if it is real. One day you find the key or the ladder to that treasury of wealth, usually money. Your illusionist milks the audience, pulls back the curtain, to reveal nothing. A blank, a void. And that’s the other side of truth. Ugly. © Glenn Barker November 2025

A Bad Night

The now-ghoul
glint of
lost eyes
summons up
Blind janus
In the odd motel
Of my head
shade slaver,
Unresting fatal spring,
A choke of snowdrops
Under a winding sheet of winter.
