A poem prepared for @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and @helenlaycock.bsky.social to consider elsewhere. Enjoyed the challenge of writing it.

Puff!! Powdered powerless. Beggar's bowl blindly proffered, head bridged backwards. Dreams doused, hwyl hobbled, scarred scarlet by embarassment.

With thanks and enormous gratitude to my Welsh hosts @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social and @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social for the opportunity of a wee wind up in advance of tomorrow's rugby in #fragmentfriday.

Such a wonderful sense of time and place in so few words.

Why not come along, meet some old friends, make some new ones, be entertained and made to think.
