It’s been a few weeks since I last posted on #HaikuSaturday. My writing has been practically non-existent this year - but the ebbs and flows of life all add to our prose. ice cream drips the fountain spray cools my neck #Haiku #Poetry stevenlstokes.wordpress.com/2024/07/27/f...

A proper test match. Every single player, red and gold, gave everything. #Lions

To mark International Dylan Thomas Day yesterday (14 May), here’s a Thomas-inspired #Haiku. #Poetry #DylanDay stevenlstokes.wordpress.com/2021/08/26/w...

Yesterday (14 May) was International Dylan Thomas Day, so I’m slightly late with this. That said, any day is a good day to listen to the perfect combination of Thomas’s words with Richard Burton’s voice. Enjoy 🙂 #Poetry #DylanDay m.youtube.com/watch?v=mM39...

That was an enjoyable game. The sun is shining, great atmosphere (both sets of fans), some good goals and a lovely send off for Joe Allen and Kyle Naughton. FT: Swansea 3 Oxford 3

And cheer they did bring. I may be soaked, but I’m happy 🙂 🦢 FT: Swansea 1 Hull 0

It’s a miserable day in SA1 so we’re looking to the #Swans for some Good Friday cheer. Swansea v Hull 🦢

The Championship is a ridiculous league.

This time last week, I enjoyed Arsenal against Real Madrid as a neutral. Tonight, for some reason, I’m drawn to Real. No idea why… 😉🦢

Small independent publishers are where poets, authors and artists grow. Without them, the world would be a poorer place. I’m excited for the publication of this anthology and delighted to have some of my work included in it. #Haiku #Poetry

#VSS365 #Marketing LITERARY REVELATIONS @LR_Publisher IS THRILLED TO INFORM YOU THAT OUR #BOOK TRANQUILITY AND ANTHOLOGY OF HAIKU WILL BE OUT SOON AFTER EASTER. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP US MARKET THIS GREAT BOOK? THANK YOU! Small independent publishers always have to fight the big 5.

We coasted second half. That said, we could have scored several more. Derby and Plymouth were huge games and we passed the test with flying colours. FT: Swansea 3 Plymouth 0 #Swans 🦢

Outstanding half from the #Swans. Full of energy and ideas - and looking dangerous. The first two goals were well worked, and the third goal from Josh Key was something special. HT: Swansea 3 Plymouth 0 🦢

Plymouth this evening. The teams around us in the table (including Plymouth) have been picking up points lately, so we can’t be complacent. We could be in for another scrap tonight. Swansea v Plymouth #Swans 🦢

The dogfight continued but we managed to sneak one. Hard-fought win and a huge 3 points. FT: Swansea 1 Derby 0

Swans boss Alan Sheehan used the word ‘dogfight’ before the game. That’s exactly what it’s been so far. No clear-cut chances for either side. HT: Swansea 0 Derby 0

An important run of games between now and the end of the season - mostly against teams around us in the lower half of the table. Make or break between now and May. Let’s see how we go against an in-form Derby. #Swans 🦢

I’m not one for submitting my #Haiku for potential publication (a touch of imposter syndrome possibly). However, ‘Tranquility’ sounded beautiful. Thank you to @g-marie-milton.bsky.social for selecting my work. The Japanese artwork is stunning and I’m excited to explore the haiku. #HaikuSaturday

A message for Deadpool and Wolverine. You’ve left your coats in Swansea.

Wales. You absolutely ruin me.
