Writer of poetry. To walk as a warrior, embracing grace, into the storms of darkness to breathe out light. Weaving the evil threads life hurls with the threads of wonder. Beauty is cultivated in darkness.

Quiet beginnings on open roads. Even with the uncertainty of the long journey, choose kindness. 🫶🏻 #HumanityFirst #KindnessMatters
This week: #BeingWatched. The look that lingers. The sense of eyes before proof. The body adjusting itself without knowing why. Write the awareness. The almost-seeing. The way desire sharpens when it’s observed. New theme opens Friday. Don’t post early. Use Alt Text. Tag #PoemsAbout to be found.
Many thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk for today's #PoemsAbout prompt #Spent. Here's a brief off-the-cuff 'tribute' to someone we knew only too well in the UK. Apologies, I was feeling tetchy this morning....
After a small break, here is my return piece for #PoemsAbout #Spent. @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk Will be catching up later/over weekend
To all those who never ever get to start the new toothpaste! 😊 #PoemsAbout #Spent Thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk Happy Friday!
#poemsabout #spent Banjaxed: a common Irish slang term meaning something is broken, ruined, severely damaged, or beyond repair.
attic sketches appear unclaimed reels linger as grey tinged captions claim the passage confounded and spent my impulses proceed through the fire and passion stoking the burnt offerings left scratching their way through the ash and lust where noted desires played #PoemsAbout #Spent
Strangely, don’t have much to say for #PoemsAbout #Spent @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk …but just enough for #fragmentsfriday #micropoem @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social #Oulens #BlueskyPoetry #micropoetry #poetrycommunity
I love Fridays, or #PoemsAbout day as I now call them. Here is my offering, and I look forward to seeing all of yours 😁 #Spent @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poetry
Nice to be able to post a quick little poem for #poemsabout #spent after a bit of an enforced absence last week (bad cold). Thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk / @thebrokenspine.co.uk for the prompt and to everyone contributing! #poems #poetry #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #scottishpoetry

Good morning #BlueSkyPoets! #PoemsAbout #Spent @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk I took the traditional sonnet and tweaked the form to create a List Sonnet, I hope you enjoy! Excited to read your poetic creations!
#PoemsAbout #Spent is live. Write the after. The bodies that don’t rush apart. The silence that isn’t empty. The care that follows intensity. Post from today. Tag #PoemsAbout #Spent to be read and shared. Use Alt Text. Take care with each other.
One editor will pick the poems they love. That’s it. No career promises. No breakthrough narrative. Just cash and community — raised together. #TheBrokenSpineAward #ByPoetsForPoets #PoemsAbout #LiftToTheSky
#PoemsAbout #Spent starts Friday. Write exhaustion as intimacy. Sweat drying. Breath slowing. The body no longer performing. What’s left when desire has finished speaking? Draft now. Share from Friday. Tag your post. Use Alt Text.
Most fleas don’t burrow, but sand fleas do. But we all carry a poetic license in our pockets. Scientific accuracy is not as important to us as it should be to RFKJR, which reminds me I have a personal poem from the POV of his brain worm…
Here’s a response to this week's call for #PoemsAbout #UndertheSkin from @thebrokenspine.co.uk k Thanks for hosting @alanparrywriter.co.uk
