I'm a crepuscular poet who drifts between phases irregularly, carried by an unrequited romance with the Moon. If you create something that's the right shape, poetry may fall out of me.

In reality I'm a British European in southern England who marinaded in Scotland and the Westcountry.

I occasionally post photos on my Pixelfed account at https://metapixl.com/@wordsmith

I will gladly accept more poetry.

@sajan that ladder has seen some shit.
@ozzelot and what did they do with him after the war?
@limebar this smells like the very *beginning* of said backstory :-P

@photovotary she is running, as fast as she can! there's a big well to climb out of.

One day humanity will witness its last ever total solar eclipse.

@limebar I love the smell of a question which has a backstory that is excruciatingly detailed.
@nash the em dash is looking pretty dark this year.

@adaptiveoptics this is gorgeous.

"yet you remain
like you
have a choice"

who gave you the secret frequencies to my heart strings?

@adaptiveoptics the Moon has just scudded into the view from where I'm sitting. If it was any higher I wouldn't have spotted it. The Moon appears to behave like this frequently.
@shannoncurtis @hilljam so this is how musicians decide on release schedules?
