Poetry prompt: Take a well known simile and stretch it till it says something new. As slow as a snail could become as slow as a snail  pushing a brick up a steep hill. Make a giraffe even taller - as tall as a giraffe on stilts. brian-moses.blogspot.com/2024/04/stre...

Poetry prompt: What did you hear? I heard hyenas laughing at a joke an elephant told. I heard a giraffe sighing at the thought of growing old. More examples here: brian-moses.blogspot.com/2024/06/what...

A lot of water has flowed beneath the poetry bridge since we first met at The Edinburgh Festival in 2012. Congratulations on the anniversary.

Poetry prompt: The Day My Head Fell Off. Create a class poem with everyone contributing brian-moses.blogspot.com/2023/05/on-n...

I really love Simon Lamb’s retelling of Burns’ classic tale. Vibrant, humorous and superbly illustrated. Even the witches & warlocks have mobile phones that they place in a bowl before their ceilidh disco. Beautifully produced. Perfect read for Burns’ Night @scallywagpress.bsky.social

My daughters class performed a play about biomes and the polar bears claimed "nothing rhymes with tundra" #poem #poetry #lemmings

Poetry prompt: Things that are known… Silence knows that it sometimes gets broken. A questing knight knows when a dragon has been woken. A sunbeam knows how to light up a room. A vampire knows how to rise from a tomb. More here: brian-moses.blogspot.com/2025/01/thin...

Thanks to everyone who bought sets of ‘The Budgie Likes to Boogie’ before Christmas and helped me reduce my stock of remaindered copies. I still have more at ridiculous prices, 30 for £20, 15 for £10, inclusive of postage. Details: brian-moses.blogspot.com/2025/08/budg... RTs appreciated Thanks.

I like this.

This elevator reminds me of the film Jumanji when you just don’t know what will appear next. A really cool idea for a lesson.

Poetry prompt: Inside a tall building - taking the elevator. This building can be as tall as you want it to be. There could be 30 storeys with an idea from different members of the class on each floor. brian-moses.blogspot.com/2025/10/insi...

If you see this, give it a share? I’m over here now from X. For very good reason, but I do miss the engagement I had over there.. #BookSky #EduSky

I BEG every smug commentator who praised Mahmood for doing the “tough but necessary thing” to read this. All the disadvantages of plummeting immigration for the economy & public services, for NO POLITICAL GAIN. Labour in DESPERATE need of a 180 change of course on immigration

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

I’m so pleased about that. Well done everyone.
