summer’s off to Sydney winter’s off to Rome spring and autumn swapping the place that they call home #seasons #micropoetry #blueskypoetry

It's #HaikuSaturday. Who's walking who? #dogs #seasons #summer #autumn #fall summer's off to Sydney the dog takes me for a walk to sniff out Autumn

I lie awake Replay my day Words in my mind Try to rewind What I did or didn’t say A mental attack This playback A catastrophe I can’t take back What it is to be me #vss365 #catastrophe #poetry #writingcommunity #blueskypoetry

A new National Poetry Day Play poem for #NationalPoetryDay : 'Call Of Duty: Playtime' As a #teacher of 30 years, these are based on real experiences, believe me! 😆 😱 #blueskypoet #poems4kids #teacherlife #play www.dreambeastpoems.com/post/a-natio...

I've been writing poems to celebrate #NationalPoetryDay and the this year's theme #Play on 2nd October. Here is one written to inspire our school children to simply list their favourite words from A to Z. These are some of mine in a poem. #PlayWithWords #Teaching #poetry #blueskypoet #poemsforkids

'Style is not designer: Style's the design of you' #vss365 prompt is: Style. #poetrycommunity #micropoetry Prompt is #style #smile #hautecouture @stephlepht.bsky.social

As Prince once said ... 'Style is loving yourself until everyone else does too' #style #micropoetry

Mix and match the patterns. Today, 13 September, the #vss365 prompt is: Style. “As honest as you can expect a man to be in a world where it’s going out of #style.” (Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep) Image: Maksim Goncharenok (Pexels) #prompt #style

For this poem, I used dialect words from the #Midlands, UK. I thought they were universal until I went to university & my mates didn't know what I was talking about 😜 I love the richness and diversity of language across our little island. #linguistics #blackcountry www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZWc...

right winged not me I'm winged right #rightwing #politics #micropoetry #poetry #skypoetry #blueskypoet

Inspired by @poetrydayuk.bsky.social theme: #Play, I played with dialect words and phrases from my hometown - #uttoxeter in the #midlands. Originally part of a submission to the brilliant @theemmapress.bsky.social #Birmingham #dialect #midlandsdialect #blackcountry #blackcountrydialect

perfect gravity in the middle of the night your arm on my chest #senryu #haiku

Not sure how I feel about this one I’m sure I’ll end up tweaking it one day. The depth of my fear Feels like a tunnel Unending Unnerving Brief moments Of hoping the light is near Unending Unnerving it’s never here

your Friday night kisses are so good I'm already scared of the day they're no longer there and I have to live a life where all I do is try to not miss them #kiss #micropoetry #blueskypoetry #poetry #friday

I'm hanging onto the sides watching my knuckles, whiten knowing that letting go might just be the best thing I ever do #micropoetry #lettinggo #poetry #blueskypoetry

I hate it when your smile reminds me how you love me still #blueskypoetry #micropoetry

I love #BlueSkyRelay. Today's #prompt is #Queue. This poem is inspired by a real experience of me taking my diverse class of children to lunch one day. #micropoetry

I made a video of my latest children's book today & put it on YouTube. It's called The Klangaroo. I'd love more subscribers. Fellow poets and educators, can you help? 🙏 #kangaroos #KangarooStoryForKids 🦘 #RobotStoryForKids 🤖 @eyfs2025.bsky.social #klanagaroo www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_15...
