...Specifically: October 2023 + December 2023 + April 2024 + August 2024
Yes, I know this is a weird combination of months.
Honestly? I kept forgetting to make the graphics, and it just ended up this way 😅
Those with screen readers - the poetry is in the alt-text of the graphics, with forward slash marks for line breaks
Yes, you read the post title correctly - this is the Micropoetry wrap-up for May and June.
Yes, you are correct - it is August.
Why am I so late with this?
A combination of 'haven't got around to it,' and 'just plain forgot.' (Sorry! 😅 )
The first one is written in my accent/dialect, because that's the way it was rattling around my head, so that's the way it got posted.
...It was the only way to stop it from going round and round in my head, OK?
I don't think it's that incomprehensible but then... it's also how I talk. So... *shrugs*
(And yes, I do say 'aye' to mean 'yes' sometimes in regular conversation. Many people here do. #NowYaKnow)
Here we are then, May and June's micropoetry:
As always, for those using screen-readers, the poetry will be in the alt-text of the graphics with / marks for line-spaces.
It's still February, so this post is not late 😉
So, with no further ado to-do (...I don't know either,) let's get some Micropoetry.
As always, the poetry will be in the alt-text for those using screen-readers, with / marks showing the line breaks.
More Micropoetry!
And yes, this covers both October and November, because I decided to combine them for... efficiency. Yeah, let's call it efficiency. 😅
As always, the poetry will be in the alt-text of the images for those using screen readers, with / marks for the line breaks.
Yes, I know it's the end of October.
It took me a while to sort the graphics out - just the way it goes sometimes, I don't know what to tell you.
(By the way, you will be getting a Micropoetry post for my October Micropoetry soon (...ish))
Shall we get some Micropoetry, though, yeah?
Come on then! (Lol.)
As always, for those using screen-readers, the poetry is in the alt-text, with / marks showing line breaks.
Micropoetry time! (Yay!)
So, I only wrote one piece of micropoetry in April, and one in May.
The April one is haiku... because sometimes my brain provides me with haikus *shrugs*
As always, if you're using a screen-reader, the poetry itself is in the alt-text of the graphics, and line-breaks are marked by / marks.
All my Micropoetry from March!
...I have literally no clue where either of these came from.
Should I blame the universe again? Yeah, why not let's blame the universe again.
The universe made me write these! Including the haiku! (Lol.)
Micropoetry time!
*cue imaginary jingle of your choice*
These are a bit more *waves hands vaguely* context-dependent than my usual micropoetry, so a little background info:
The second one (let's start at the end, why not?) is kinda based in all the sh** going down in the world right now.
The first one is very specifically about Partygate.
I actually posted it on Twitter with hashtags calling for Boris Johnson to resign, so yes #political. You know I don't care whether you agree with me or not, and that's fine.
And I'm overly-pleased with myself for the 'Eton mess' bit, which probably makes zero sense to those of you who aren't British, but at least I amused myself!
So here we are, February's Micropoetry!
As always, for those using screen readers, the poetry is in the alt-text with / marks showing line breaks.
(Warning: this post discusses war, the threat of nuclear disaster, injured cats, and blood)
February.
2022.
February. 2022.
February 2022.
...I live in Europe. Edges of, here in the UK, but still Europe.
Y'know, that continent Putin nearly turned into a nuclear wasteland last week?
And no, I'm not over-reacting, Zaporizhzhia is way bigger than Chernobyl, and radiation from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 was the reason Welsh farmers had restrictions on selling livestock until 2012.
So... *gestures at Putin in a non-polite manner*

Here we are with more of my micropoetry!
Woo! (Lol.)
I have absolutely no idea where the first one, in particular, came from - it was just one of those things that wouldn't leave me alone, y'know?
And the best way to deal with that is to get it out and into the world, in my experience!
It's also written partially in my accent (which is why it's don' le' instead of don't let,) because it just didn't feel right written in full - I don't know why, I think it threw the rhythm off or something *shrugs*
And the other poem I've got for you this month is a haiku.
- Just because, really 😅
As always, for those using text readers, the poetry is in the alt-text of the graphics.
Line breaks are marked with a /
Yes, I am well aware that it's nearly January 2022.
But, as there always seems to be, there's still some left-over house-keeping to do from 2021.
So here's the Micropoetry I wrote in October and November 2021.
And, as always, for those using screen-readers the poetry is in the alt-text of the images. It has / marks showing line breaks.
...because I wrote one piece in April, and then there was a big gap 'til the next one in July *shrugs*
Apparently I was having a Shakespearean references moment in April.
And was feeling things about Wales and our place in the world - and within (or maybe not) the United Kingdom - in July.
Y Ddraig means The Dragon in Welsh. You can check out a pronunciation here if that's something you're interested in.
So - this is what came out of all that! Enjoy!
As always, the poetry is in the alt-text for those who use screenreaders, with / marks showing line breaks
There is Micropoetry! Woo!
...The October pieces were kind of written in a weird headspace so... sorry about that!
The September one is a Haiku because apparently in 2020 I write Haikus! (Seriously, I think I've written more Haikus this year than I ever have before.)
It was also one of those things which just kinda pop into my head, and then won't leave me alone until I do something with them 😅 #WriterProblems
