colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 03/12/2025The poem is like a snowglobe, with the horror of the "real world" beyond it's intricate and tiny perfection. Those quatrains 👌 000
colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 03/12/2025This has to be my favourite Xmas poem right now. And also part of a strand of poems that weave the reality of war into the everyday miracle of Christmas life and family love. Actually it's that brutality alongside the sting of the cold, that really brings the warmth of it home 100
colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 03/12/2025The clapboard village aglow that starry stark December I barely now remember, or the brutish ache of snow burning my face like quicklime. Yet one thing was still missing. I saw my parents kissing, perhaps for the last time. 100
colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Through blue frozen lots my giant parents strolled, wrapped tight against the cold like woolen Argonauts, searching for that tall perfection of Scotch pine from the hundreds laid in line like the dead at Guadalcanal. 100
colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Christmas Trees By William Logan How should I now recall the icy lace of the pane like a sheet of cellophane, or the skies of alcohol poured over the saltbox town? On that stony New England tableau, the halo of falling snow glared like a waxy crown. 110
colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Howya - just figured out how to really switch from X/Twitter and I'm properly here now! (I think) If we've never met WHAT IS THE CRAIC! This is my website colmkeeganpoetry.com And here's an example of the type of poems I write Nice to meet you 👋 0195
colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 14/05/2025It's like Erin said "we felt it was important to look at the small moments of beauty that exist in the everyday- as a way to shore ourselves up, to keep gratitude at the forefront, to remember what is precious and worth keeping" Keep it lit 🔥 000
colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 14/05/2025I think it's going to be really special but we need to make sure there's people there to see it so RTs much appreciated 👍🤘 100

colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 14/05/2025In every town, we want to honour the stories and voices that are already there, in a way that will hopefully galvanise us as we face increasing challenges in the wider world, it would be great if you could be part of that. 100
colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 14/05/2025I’ve worked for years bringing poetry as a force to celebrate what we have right here right now in our lives in a positive way and this show is a new, focussed and exciting way to elevate that process. 100
colm-keegan.bsky.social @colm-keegan.bsky.social · 14/05/2025I put this show together with Erin because I've been feeling more and more that in our outward looking, acquisitive culture and challenging context these days, what’s beautiful right in front of us can often get overlooked, even dismissed. 100
