@helen_laycock @MatthewMCSmith Helen -- this poem really dramatizes how extreme heat blurs the boundries between body, night and element❣️

[PoetryForce @PoetryForce]

@earthbrowne @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems This poem has a great punch in the gut❣️
"we are birds
without a sky"

[PoetryForce @PoetryForce]

@strokingtheair @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems Eileen -- brilliant ending to this poem❣️
"lovers in the shadows
shapeshifting
releasing dragonflies"

[PoetryForce @PoetryForce]

@ArtistDora @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith Dora -- this poem distills the emotional stakes of tragedy into a modern imagistic idiom.
Love the lines
"Steel-forged heart rends" and
" a future already ruined".

[PoetryForce @PoetryForce]

@hool415 @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith Julian -- you display such dark humor and vivid imagery in this poem to show how heat blurs the line between the living and the dead. Love the line
"warming embers from rushed cremations" 👏👏👏

[Julian Cason @hool415]

@PoetryForce @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith Love all this Erich, but mostly that sublime second line!

[PoetryForce @PoetryForce]

@strokingtheair @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith So beautiful and heartfelt❣️

[Julian Cason @hool415]

@PoetryForce @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith Excellent Erich, so visceral!

[Finn Cassidy @FinianCassidy]

@PoetryForce @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith I like the sustained metaphor 👏💚
Do I sense mainly 'Regret'? ... perhaps mixed with a little feel-good 'Vent-Rant'?
Regardless, a nice ditty micro of 'Self-Awareness'.

@ArtistDora @TopTweetTuesday @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith Dora -- What a dynamic scene you have created here. So immediate and direct -- we feel the emotions, the setting, the connections. 🥰🥰🥰

@PaulWritesPoems @TopTweetTuesday @raybould_drs @MatthewMCSmith Paul -- I love the analogy of comparing a human's growth to the rings of a tree and then creating an edginess to it by using mechanical terminalogy😍
"Chattering steel-teeth cleave --
body tips right to left
faltering cartwheel"
