This is within the anthology Thin Places, Sacred Spaces, just published by Amethyst Press. (Not certain it was a place for a seven year old to be taken…all very scary!)

The prompt helped me finish a half-poem I had about a famous ruined abbey I visited. I’ve included a photograph. Someone better quietly tap me on the shoulder if this is too long for
#vss
and I’ll take it down. (I’m not totally sure of the rules here!)
Hullo 50 words exactly on a piece of clothing, (with a little help from the title and a few hyphens!)
Enjoy the day all!
Thank you for hosting

Hullo. This was so surprisingly tricky. In the end I could only attempt an unusual topic for me. I rarely pen simply happy poems, nor creature ones, so here is a first, some upbeat animal lines! Thanks for hosting

was planning to miss this week, but here’s a last minute entry to allow me hopeful entry to the party! (Not too tricky to see the poem taken as a spring board for my attempt today). Have a great day all.
Hullo. A state of great flux here with much retrospective soul-searching as our only child goes off to Uni this weekend. Thanks for hosting

here’s my 20 word micro poem, though I have added a two word title. A great challenge, thank you! Enjoy the poems all.

This was from The Oldest Music (Parthian), a project of poetry and photography of holy wells and the ancient links between Wales/Ireland. It was compiled by acclaimed Welsh photographer/writer Phil Cope, so I include his photo too.

I hope you enjoy the day as much as I did last week! For
@TopTweetTuesday
50 word ‘gifts’ challenge, here’s mine.
(Apologies, have Dr, then dentist so will be sporadic and rather late catching up with all the other coming gems.) Have a blast all!

here’s my 30 on the wet theme from hols in a currently pretty dry Northumbria! Apologies, but I’m going to be in the car for much of the day but will catch up with everything eventually! Enjoy the poems all!

taking the struggle component of your themes and thinking about the fragility of all life after having a routine ultra-sound. 120 words exactly (if you exclude the title!) Thanks for hosting. Enjoy the poems all.
Hullo. This was going to be for the vss365 topic today of
#cars
but it’s way too long for that, so I’ll just leave it on the doorstep anyway for anyone passing.

@PaulDragonwolf1
This is a tweaked version of a poem first published in The Dawntreader. Have a terrific Tuesday all.
Hullo. Just to say if anyone interested I think we’ve reached 47 poems. When Apollo 11 landed on the moon they immediately had a scheduled sleep break. I mean, as if!
I feel the same way. These poems are barely legal stimulants . They are that good. You guys, eh! You kill me! 😁
Hullo to

alas I don’t really ever do any kind of

so this is a slight stretch, but maybe there was an element of jeopardy in the reaction I could have got? (Ok, a little tenuous!) Thanks again to
@AlanParry83
for organising and hosting once more.
I’m the polar opposite to an actual net influencer but I still want to champion a new American poet.
@RuiShanewrites
Brandon often tackles with great flair apocalyptic urban decay or as here, more introspective subjects. I really love the last few lines of this,his latest work.

@TopTweetTuesday
what a tribe we are! It be worth hanging out together even if no one wrote for toffee! We are on 53. I’ve been a little arbitrary in awarding cups today. I accept that. I do have a good few left so am happy if anyone wants to see me later to claim one.(🏆)

Hullo poets.
I think the final post from me. I have a neglected underwalked dog who is about to explode. The party seems to be going strong but we’ve only had 4 new arrivals in the last 3 hours. I’ll have a peep through the window later. Thank you, it’s been a total blast! 🫡

going to risk air traffic control chaos with TTT going on right now too, but here’s a cheeky second poem on

for
#promptcombo
if that’s ok? The only justification is this was about the 3rd thing I ever posted, so only 6 people have seen it! Have mercy!

this very old one for

#countryside
I did randomly post this a few months back but I think only about 3 people and a dog saw it! So will risk the repeat!
It was first in Pulp Poets Press. Cheers.
Hullo. Again apologies, but I’m going to stick to the crisp white paper posting approach! This for

’s brilliance but here’s a review of an earlier collection: Frame. Also one for fellow Cardiffian
@DavidHanlon13
’s new collection: Dawn’s Incision. Finally a shout-out for the criminally non-collected genius
@RuiShanewrites
Hullo thought of this ancient college era poem for
#begin
but it must be too long for the vss365 challenge today.
I’m posting it anyway, but it won’t be up for long. I’ll write a much better poem about this one day. Still, part of the cupboard clear out and all that!
Hullo

and to the topic today of
#quest
Oops, I posted something quest-ish earlier but without actually containing the keyword! Apologies. So a rapid sticking plaster now applied by way of a poem that was first in The Dawntreader. Hope that is okay!
