Wow - I used the #WritingCommunity hashtag on a poem and got bombarded with fake βbestselling authorsβ wanting to quiz me about my work and profits. I could feel them winding up for the sales pitch - high-dollar marketing and rebranding that promises the moon and delivers nothing - so started blocking. Blocked one and got messaged by a related account. And BTW, itβs offensive to comment with sales pitches on someoneβs creative writing post.
WTF, guys? What do yβall real writers think? Disappointed to see this in the Fediverse, but I guess itβs inevitableβ¦

Hereβs two persistent ones I blocked:

Hares in the thicket
will synchronize their heartbeats
with the white moonrise.

If you forget for a moment,
a fractured bliss of displacement,
itβs livening breath upon flame
and you burn a fraction brighter
when taking again to the night.

I just wanted to write
poetry and read books
in a hollow oak tree
perfumed by bluebell woods
and visited by owls.
