Hugely enjoyed the Great Big Poetry Party in Glasgow tonight. Celebrating Glasgow’s 850th birthday and Glasgow St Mungo Mirrorball’s 20th. Amazing poetry and wonderful poets.

On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

Today is Day of Defenders of Ukraine I hugged a new morning thanks to them. 🇺🇦 Vladyslav Shereshevskyi After the Battle, 2023 (I shared it earlier – but these eyes… we need to look at them again).

“Foolish the man going to Islay expecting sunshine, Wise the man who packs a waterproof, Happy the man who does both” Collected sayings of Someone or Other.

Good morning, beautiful people from around the world. Last night, I dreamt of a world at peace, & in that dream, hatred did cease, and joy returned to every child, as mothers sang lullabies sweet and mild; all the power of Agape revived, banishing evil to never again rise. OProinntigh 🍀 🫖☕️🥰

Beautiful Galloway.

A wee update. My beautiful boy has gone.

Galloway sunset.

A difficult day today.

What is the peace of The fool with the biggest stick? The peace of the grave. Soz. But sometimes the news is just so bad I have to. Apologies to all true haiku masters out there. #poetry
