Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Here is hope and a future In every tasteful hue And, of course, Egyptian cotton (Only the best will do) What are you, my love, bright crimson? No, of course, maroon They'll look fetching on the compost heap When we have worn them through #vss365 #towel 0100
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 20/08/2026A life is made of little things Soft as suds massaged into the skin And washed away A scent, a surface sheen Lavender and Clementine Or grey skies from a hilltop seen Upon an ordinary day #vss365 092
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 04/10/2025The machine grinds its teeth Abrading old fears into new hopes Trading yesterday's dreams for Tomorrow's blank page Yesterdays rage for a wet and Shapeless mass Ink bleached, meaning fading Nothing into nothing wading A joke-What do you get when You combine every conceivable Storyline? Pulp #vss365 0131
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Sometimes in the wood you'll cross A well rotted chunk of what used To be a tree Decked in mossen verdigris And ok it's not an Angel But it might as well be Nothing could be gentler or more refined Is that faith? To sublimate the soul to soil And toil away Hoping to join the Angels someday #vss365 0121
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 26/09/2025The grave diggers spade Plays a soft, a sonorous song Gently dirt hits the dirt As the work carries on And in symphony sometime The blade bites a stone Makes a gong of our spade Plays a musical tone Sets the dust motes to shiver Then, quivering, fades As a subtler music Falls over the grave #vss365 0272
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 25/09/2025See how their ghosts pirouette Suggesting the vast and abetting caprice The tense and release The spring and recover The fall and the rise See them turn and pretend Blending beginnings for ends And by chance, in the dance See them catching your eyes Now and again and again #vss365 0181
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 14/07/2025#idolatry Once or twice or edelweiss I've idolised the skies, it's true And fell as snow is want to do To rest upon the mountain too And in that failing light, that cold I glimpsed the whole world rendered gold And melting felt it would suffice To feed your roots my edelweiss #vss365 4475
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 12/07/2025#Savant Fenchurch Turgidity Luminescence Serendipity Whispers Eurythmia Undulation Or maybe, a small moth Hardly more than dust Drowning in a drop Of water See, if I had a violin I'd let it sing the refrain While it's bow suggested That thing Once a wing Now a stain #vss365 1321
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 11/07/2025#skirmish Would it comfort you Oh soldier, to know Your ghost has teeth And stands behind Your standard now Stark naked as the Dark and wreathed In prayers for blood And cruelty, would it Come as some relief To know your soul Is smiling as you grind Betwixt it's teeth #vss365 0421

Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 07/07/2025#cummerbund She writhes as snakes Or silk about my waist As wet, as holy Breathless asks me who I love, I pray This moment only Then pull her tight On flesh, in flesh In sodden light Inthralled we thrash And thunder as the Symbols crash Lets loose our Lonely Ghosts #vss365 1415
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 07/07/2025Powdered my invalid culture Micro plastic and tat, a melange Turns on the blade of the blender Wont you feed it the corpse of your home Don't be somber oh soulful, surrender Let the spice mix your palette invade Come feast on the chemical splendor Of this bitter masala we've made #vss365 0272
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 06/07/2025There is a hand That will not take Control Unmoved it lays In much the way The sunlight rays Do not Might the sleeper yet Awake, from dreams Of blood and nation States, to fall and on A prism break Revealing our self To our soul Then let us fall To rainbows Till We're Whole #vss365 1706
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Its fatal flaw was its Consolation The heroes in its Constellations Turned and grew As we do too Out of the black and Into the blue Its fatal flaw was its Beating heart That could so cage In soulful art Before the blinding Light it stood Its fatal flaw It found it good #vss365 1344
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Sacré cœur, she wore it well About her body as a shell What child could fail to fall, to kneel Before your worship for a spell Hell is real, I know - I feel A snail break beneath my heel Blue will be your funeral bell Mother, Nature, Sangreal #vss365 0475
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Nostalgia - A Roman word Was often heard In wooden shacks On wildflowered County Tracks And isn't that a bit Absurd That even the past Was looking back #vss365 0383
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 29/06/2025#scintilla Take the universe apart And you will find Not one atom of faith No quantum of heart No iota of art No scintilla of grace No trace of mankind Just dust on darkness Unrefined Thank goodness then We're so entwined In this - Paradise Our powers combined #vss365 1627
Lawrence Glynn @spacedogpoems.bsky.social · 27/06/2025Mostly my moments Where hollow and square And departed unnoticed To heaven knows where Only on rare occasions The stars would align And render my moments All spherically fine And full, overflowing As moments we shared When nothing departed And heaven was there #vss365 0452
