@PoetryForce Thanks.

[Rachel @pure_writing]

For this week's @TopTweetTuesday, challenge a poem about other moons in the solar system. And a reminder to look to the skies after sunset this evening. You may see the rare alignment of 7 planets.

@MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Thanks, Matthew. Interested in your take on it as it started out with quiet, lonely untethered orphaned planets.

@costan07 @TopTweetTuesday Did my lack of punctuation force you to race through it 😆 I'm experimenting with punctuation, I could have done with reading it aloud & a bit more time....as always. Thanks

[Rachel @pure_writing]

@hool415 High praise. Thanks so much Julian, appreciate your time & comments. 😁

[Rachel @pure_writing]

@ElCurwen @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith This is such a great take on the theme. Violent, vivid, gritty. Love the ending.

[Rachel @pure_writing]

@dandugwriter @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Love the title. What a charmingly fascinating journey. 'Muckle'is a new word to me.

[Daniel Duggan @dandugwriter]

For @TopTweetTuesday and @MatthewMCSmith this is a poem on the subject of the moon, but not our moon. I shall call it.. I have all the moons #poetrycommunity

[Rachel @pure_writing]

@costan07 Vivid raw words as you tackle adolescent themes within your alternate moon scene.

No content warnings this time , just a little poem about a moon for @TopTweetTuesday - thanks to @MatthewMCSmith for the challenge and opportunity to share.🌒

[Rachel @pure_writing]

@PaulWritesPoems @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith That first line. 👌

[TopTweetTuesday @TopTweetTuesday]

Next week’s challenge.

Write a moon poem without using the word ‘moon’ or ‘lunar’. Make it new and really focus on an alternate take. Preferably write a poem about other moons in the Solar system other than our own. Imagistic, metaphorical & 90 words max. No tired descriptions.

@MarkAntonyOwen @TopTweetTuesday @Subruria @aperrincycling I must admit it was the 'two banned words' that caught my eye. A rebellious unconvential Spring piece followed. Love the tree lanterns and the final line..

[Laura Cooney *Motherbunnet* On Sale @lozzawriting]

My offering for @TopTweetTuesday and esteemed host @aperrincycling. My Gran used to say, 'hope springs up at the spout of a teapot.' I've never put my finger on exactly what she meant. But it made this Spring/not Spring poem pop into my head.

@lozzawriting @TopTweetTuesday @aperrincycling @MatthewMCSmith What amazing imgery Laura. Nan, plastic flowers and a proper old fashioned "caff". Really takes me back, so familiar. The dew is a lovely idea.
