On a break, just time to post! I'm fully prepared for a ticking-off about this being decidedly un-Imagist, but it's the poem that wanted to be written. TopTweetTuesday Zaina hope you enjoy anyway & thanks for the great prompt 🙏

The Girls on the Bridge, 1918

Afternoon Alan Parry - for #PoemsAbout #nostalgia - I find it interesting how we can experience nostalgia for times and places that were never ours to begin with

For #PoemsAbout #Nostalgia a small Northern offering. The Broken Spine - Support Us on Ko-fi! Alan Parry.

Picking figs in the sun hornet-striped and sticky gusting wind from the wrong quarter summer’s gone and another half-fledged thing has flown gone north. #poetry #poetrycommunity

Sorry it's so late, a #PoemsAbout #Nostalgia for Alan Parry The Broken Spine - Support Us on Ko-fi! Hope your Sunday weather is as glorious as mine.

Il y a deux ans, cette jeune femme a été assassinée par les police des mœurs de Téhéran pour un voile « mal porté ». Aujourd'hui, dans ce même Téhéran, il n'y a pas un quartier, un café ou un restaurant où l'on ne croise une femme non voilée. N’oublions pas son sacrifice.

Welcome back TopTweetTuesday and today’s wonderful poet and host Vikki C. Here is a small effort from me, hope everyone has a great day.

Hello there TopTweetTuesday & Vikki C. here's my effort at today's tough challenge. Tried to do something unexpected - trying not to sound like yourself, keeping it imagist, metaphorical, all in 60 words or less proved much harder than I thought 🥴 Here's 'Orgasmic deli'

Good morning TopTweetTuesday and host(ess) Vikki C. I think this one fits the brief, in part at least.

Thanks Vikki C. for the challenge for this week's TopTweetTuesday 60 words, very hard to write in a style not your own, not sure if I've succeeded, but enjoyed the challenge

Good morning poets and TopTweetTuesday ! The sun's not even up yet here. 😂 Thank you for the prompt Vikki C. ! I hope you enjoy your day. I can't not be me, but I tried to write something very different.

For TopTweetTuesday a poem about Dr William Carlos Williams, who is said to have written poems between patient appointments. Something different from me. Thank you to host Vikki C. & all the crew.

Greetings, dear Poets, and virtual tea and chocolates to host Vikki C.! Gratitude, as ever, to Matthew M C Smith and Black Bough Poetry / Barddoniaeth Y Gangen Ddu. Happy TopTweetTuesday, everyone.

Just watched a middle-aged couple walk along the lane, she in white t shirt, blue trousers, he in purple pyjamas.
