Today I would like to #LiftToTheSky the two online poetry Eds. at @brokenspinearts.bsky.social - @vespertine4.bsky.social & @katiejenkinspoet.bsky.social

Great poets with a keen eye for good work!

Had the good fortune to meet them IRL Dave left a lasting impression and Katie had the widest smile.

This Friday: #WordsUnsaid. Write about love’s quiet moments and the weight of what’s unspoken. Our feedback awaits, but the strongest support comes from commenting on each other’s work. #StayOnTheme #BeBold #ConcreteOverAbstract #DitchTheCliche #EmotionNotMelodrama #EndOnAnImage

This Day. If you have a creative response to it. Email it to me and I will feature it in my new challenge "Created Responses To This Day"
