I'm so happy that the upcoming anthology The Havisham Steps: Modern Gothic Poetry from thebrokenspine.co.uk will include one of mine: "the map misread".
Thank you for giving it the nod, Alan, @alanparrywriter.co.uk
Pleased to swell in the company of such disparately talented poets!

Poem about getting evicted while the Prime Minister buys a second holiday home?
Yeah, that’s the energy.
Don’t clean it up. Don’t make it polite.

In the rainy season, the earth learns to breathe,
Green shoots rise where silence used to be.
Between the falling rain, my longing grows true,
Holding on to hope
: this yearning will meet you.

Beneath the silent stars of the night, I stand,
Dreaming of a love warm, gentle, and kind.
Each glowing light whispers hope to my heart,
That our souls will meet, written in starlight.

Of course, we forage
You won’t let us in Costco
Where else can we go? …

A “Bigfoot” image from an unknown Michigan Reddit poster (no © claimed). The creature is hiding near a tree trunk in the dark-green foliage, and the creature seems to be studying the camera that caught its image. Overlaying the image is the poem text: Of course, we forage You won’t let us in Costco Where else can we go? Whole Foods? Trader Joe’s? Oh, you rash, thoughtless humans! We can’t join your world We must go by night Forage in ages-old ways You were once like us One day’s bright sunrise When we forage for our lives You’ll be found no more We take what we need We’re your true antithesis Earth’s our forage grounds ©2026 Alan Vincent Michaels

So cool that @doorisajarmag.bsky.social hosts a virtual reading with each new issue. Happy to have been one of their featured authors! (Though is anyone ever happy with the way they look and sound on video?)

I'm so thrilled to announce that my work is to be included in The Havisham Steps: Modern Gothic Poetry anthology from @thebrokenspine.co.uk

Weeks of unending grey skies and mist in the UK provides inspiration plenty for gothic poetry...
Huge congratulations to the other authors! 👏🎉

If your poem doesn’t belong on a billboard but a toilet door in a dive bar, send it.
If it sounds better screamed into a mic than whispered at brunch, send it.

Morning dew rests softly on the ground,
Whispering hope in silence, pure and kind.
Each fragile drop holds love yet to be found,
A promise that our hearts will soon align.

Man Overboard
#Poetry #FreeVerse #WritingCommunity #PoetsOfBlueSky #PoetryOfBlueSky #MentalIllness #MentallyIllMess
Man overboard Words crash against the back of my mind Like waves collapsing exhausted on the shore My unconscious mind battered by colliding thoughts Shredded on underwater rocks Remnants of ruminations float like scum Upon the surface of my troubled sea All the ways in which I've failed, Evident by the ship's wreck surrounding me, As I still grasp aimlessly for any sturdy surface To keep me from going under again And drowning in the inky darkness

"Without a Title".

from a sequence "To Be Continued"; each starts with the last line of another poet's poem.

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #cynthiacruz
(first line from Cynthia Cruz “After Platonov” in Poetry 227:1) Already it was too late. When the tree ferns weren’t yet coal, it was too late. When the sun still wore its protoplanetary disc, it was too late. When the laws of physics were still up for grabs, it was too late. The seed of hatred was already buried in the singularity that flowered into everything, food for the hatching worm.

In the shadow of the gargantuan stages, I worked in one of those fathomless spaces which seem to sum up time and seam it in its walls: where big bands rehearsed for big musicals; dancers warmed up …

Footprints linger where the waves once played,
Golden light recalls the words we never said.
The sea hums softly of a time gone by,
Memories drift like shells beneath the sky.
