Ryan

Archive in the Wind by Heavy Cloud is out now on tape & digital via @ivo_petrov’s Mahorka label. Rooted in the windswept textures of Cornwall, the release drifts like forgotten signals across power lines – an elegy of memory stored, lost & reassembled. mahorka.bandcamp.com/album/archive-…

@AliceStainer @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Many thanks, Alice. I appreciate that 😊

@heavycloudhaze @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday I really like the quasi-philosophical tone of this. Especially Stanza 2. You really tease out latent meaning, as all the best ekphrastic work does.

For #TopTweetTuesday, a poem written after Elizabeth Bishop, notably her painting Interior with Extension Cord. Thank you to @MatthewMCSmith and @TopTweetTuesday for hosting.

@PaulWritesPoems @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Many thanks, Paul! 😊

@heavycloudhaze @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Another smart piece - excellent ending

@blukewilson @strokingtheair @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Thank you, Luke 🙏

@heavycloudhaze @strokingtheair @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday "not everything erased should be" great line

@GaryLegg12 @JulianD86666247 @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Thank you Gary, glad you like it 😊

@heavycloudhaze @JulianD86666247 @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Quietly great ending Ryan! I'm with Eileen on this one!😀👍( had to Google the painting though!!)

@MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Thank you Matthew! Inspiring prompts – lots of ideas to think over 😊

@heavycloudhaze @TopTweetTuesday A journey of shapes, Ryan. Phrasing is on-point. You could further develop this i.m.o. Another (very much) publishable poem today.

@ITattum @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith So kind, thank you very much, Ian 😊

@heavycloudhaze @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith You have conjured art and its depths with deft words🦋

@JulianD86666247 @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Thank you so much for your comment, Julian! Glad you like the ending 🙏

@heavycloudhaze @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Many of today's TTT poems, it seems to me, have really strong endings, and yours, Ryan, is no exception. 👏👏 persisting, happening, as most things do, Just off frame. The pacing and those closely line breaks really help that last line to land with more impact. 👏

@katevanbergh @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Thank you very much, Kate 🙏

@heavycloudhaze @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Love those last four lines. So intriguing. 👏

@strokingtheair @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday That’s very kind Eileen 😊 So pleased you like it.

@heavycloudhaze @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday This is the kind of poetry I love to read and wish I had written, fabulous 👏👏👏

@aperrincycling @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Thank you very much, Andy! I appreciate that 🙏

@heavycloudhaze @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Fantastic piece, Ryan! The title and all…super! 👏👏👏

@heavycloudhaze @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Gripping poem, Ryan. Love how the lines are holding the room together.

@hool415 @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Amazing, thank you Julian! Glad you like it 😊
