Morning Flower.

‘I write in praise of air. It was just me clothed in a translucent glide, dressed as a thunderbolt, blurry-eyed holding the sky in my hair.’ From my poem Zip Wire to Freedom. That’s not me in the pictures but I did that in Flam, Norway and what a buzz! 🥳

I wonder who writes My internal monologue: All style, no content.

Just finished I Am Ray's Imaginary Friend by the superb @brianmosespoet.bsky.social and it is very good indeed. A verse novel, with the perfect balance of emotion and humour. Will lead to some wonderfully challenging conversations in the classroom. Ideal for Years 4-6. @scallywagpress.bsky.social

A stunning day for a #hike no #trailrunning today but the sun was out, the ground was still frozen and the trees looked great.

Poem for kids up at The Dirigible Balloon #kidlit dirigibleballoon.org/poem/Cat-Wat...

My favourite new year James Tate poem: The Immortals None of us have felt good this year: pus around the eyes, sores that come and go with no explanation. But we still believe we will come through it! I signal this news by lifting a little finger.

I’m enjoying the cold weather. I walk so much better. Here’s my poem Cold Repair from the Christmas & Winter Anthology @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social. Such a gorgeous book of poetry. I really recommend ❄️❄️❄️

A perfect circle of cat.

The week between Christmas and New Year was made for hurkle-durkle. Let's stay in bed all day and read @shsinnett.bsky.social's delightful poem "Hurkle-durkle" in Little Thoughts Press Issue 11: Stirring Words, available in print and pdf. www.littlethoughtspress.com/issues 🎨 by Shaunessy Sinnett

Officially book publication day so am back, however briefly - a family member is very unwell at the moment and I am naturally very distraught, it feels wrong to celebrate anything. but just wanted to thank all the people who have supported me since I started, who have bought the book etc…
