This was me #today the first of 2 #creative meetings today one at lunchtime one at tea time. So hard not to over load and over stimulate when you are #AuDHD like buses these #opportunities always come at once. #future #creative #watchthisspace @jamesbrinsford.bsky.social

Excited by the arrival of #GoodDirt by Charmaine Wilkerson from @gabyyoung.bsky.social @michaeljbooks.bsky.social - can’t wait to start reading #bookblogger #booksky #booklover #booksworthreading

I have been writing ten-minute tales - #poetry from scratch as a stream of consciousness - this is possibly about someone in a coma with each line being a word longer until its peak and then back again #poem #poet #poetrytwitter #poetrylovers #booksky #poetrycommunity #writing #writer

Good things come to those who wait - I have been writing ten minute tales in which I see what I can explore poetically in just 10 minutes - here’s today’s effort- all feedback appreciated 💜 #poetry #poet #poem #poetrycommunity #booksky #writing #writingcommunity

The fire spits sparks of light, Clouds clearing from the mind’s eye. Poetically inspired by history weight, Through this quill to the page, Scratching words from the feather, To bring forth words in Coleridge’s haunt. A silent prayer for justice done, Under the eye of Romantic royalty. #poetry

Delighted that my first #poem of 2025, called ‘Resolutions’, is being featured on BBC Upload with @chrisarnoldinc.bsky.social on Thursday & Saturday from 6pm - check out BBC Sounds #poetry #poet #poetrysky #poetrycommunity #writer #writing

Performing ‘Flood’ at ‘Poetry and Cake’ night in Art Bank. The #poem tackles grief and when the person most affected by the loss has to be the rock for others who are grieving above their own feelings- all feedback welcome (thanks to @bookscovered.bsky.social for clip) #poet #poetry #poem #writing
