Thank you Michelle. It isn't always easy to write about what we know, but rock bottom truths are always palpable. #poemsabout #itsasin

My pleasure. Your poem captures the physicality of #transition with all its kinks and cracks and gives us a chance to commiserate and offer support, albeit virtually, for it's journey. #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

Love: The morning is everything October can be - a liquid brightness. And how you hold this journey of #transition, mile by mile, is beautiful. #poemsabout @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

You show us how #transition, always in motion, feels and looks. Very well drawn, Lesley! #poemsabout @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

You weave magic in the final lines, Merril. A clear distinction between anticipated and experienced #transition (the opening lines and the close). A great read all the way. #Poemsabout @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

Roger: Do Not Throw This #PoemsAbout Away. It's a keeper, for sure. #Transition so beautifully captured in the first few lines. A very active, comprehensive piece moves easily between the unexpected and the mundane. A great read! @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

Love this: I got my wish though - I got older. A wish-come-true that can ironically turn on us and eat its own tail. A great #poemsabout #transition Thank you! @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

Some #transitions leave us trembling with fear. Will we, can we, should we be what we become? And more importantly, what we desire? This #poemsabout invites us to look below the surface where even flattened grass has roots. @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

Yes, slow and, as you write here, all to dangerous! #poemsabout #transition @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

Love this line: Hammered into shape by harsh words and harsher acts The clarity of this image foretells tremendous pressure to be molded. Wow. #poemsabout #transition

The intimacy of this self-exploration is poignant. A rich legacy, a daily discipline, a query into the possibility of choosing which pieces go where and when, a question tempting you to seek its answer. Great #poemsabout #transition @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

Well, Ulrica, you had me with this one. One moment always becomes the next and that alone can make us jittery. Where are we when we want to be where we aren't? Lovely. #poemsabout #transition @alanparry83.bsky.social

Such a perfect metaphor! Fox muscles mostly taut, always in the moment, alert. Very much like the wiring of this #poemsabout format: simple, yet so clever and sly. @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

Love the dress down/dress up in this, including drainpipe jeans. Exactly the kind a Beautiful Boy costume contains. She's got a keen eye for color and detail! #poemsabout #transition @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets

C-Ch-Change! The only constant we know, right? Breaking free to become more than we have been requires something of us that we might not otherwise be willing to give. This #poemsabout #transitions pushes those boundaries. #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets #PoetsOfBlueSky @alanparry83.bsky.social

Water is a precious resource so often misused. In the final stanza, it still flows, albeit sullied. In this #poemsabout #transition you draw attention to the burden it carries downstream. Nice work! @alanparry83.bsky.social #KeepCreative #PoetsSupportPoets
