✒️eurydice | poet & editor @sleepingeurydice.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Sometimes the best poetry prompt isn't a word. It's an image. A photograph, painting, collage, or even a strange little picture from an old magazine can give you somewhere to begin when words aren't cooperating. Don't ask what the image means. Ask what it makes you remember, imagine, or feel. 000

✒️eurydice | poet & editor @sleepingeurydice.bsky.social · 24/12/2025one of my favourite things to do is head to a not-so-nearby second-hand bookstore; buy a few books on poetry or writing that have already been annotated by their previous owner/s, and engage with their comments in the margins. #poetry #writing #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #poetrysky 010

✒️eurydice | poet & editor @sleepingeurydice.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Not my usual style, but this poem slipped out while I was sat at a friend’s house, opera playing in the background, and voices drifting over it. Moving and settling in has slowed my writing, but sometimes inspiration sneaks in quiet and unexpected. #poetry #writers #poem #new #original #inspired 010
✒️eurydice | poet & editor @sleepingeurydice.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Haven't written any poems in a while. Mostly due to starting back at Uni and beginning to write "When Paradise Fades".
