Lord Rotherslade on his way for his daily swim

Working together A chance for growth and learning Friendship blossoms

As part of my collaboration with @oyoguhito.bsky.social it was my turn to do the poem and his to do the haiku. #haiku #poetry #dreams

@jenthorne.bsky.social Jen wrote this poem about watching my daily sea swims here on BlueSky and I wrote the haiku at the end in reply …

Labour's last desperate strategy was to say "Vote for us, or get Reform." That is now dead. Millions of people now know that a vote for the Green Party means voting with both your head and your heart.

I love Fridays, or #PoemsAbout day as I now call them. Here is my offering, and I look forward to seeing all of yours 😁 #Spent @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #poetry

Really great writing collaboration and so heartwarming to see people connecting. Keep up the haiku i feel it may benefit your longer free verse 😔

After all the encouragement from the #haiku community and some 1-2-1 tutoring from the marvellous Jim Young, haiku king and sea swimmer extraordinaire, @oyoguhito.bsky.social and I have done a collaboration. His poem. My haiku.

Jen has captured perfectly the undercurrents flowing in my poem ~ such a rewarding collaboration ~ Jen has promised me a poem over the weekend to see if I can reciprocate ~ fingers crossed ~ as Rich said in Casablanca ‘… I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."😀

“Presumed to be innocent until proven guilty my ass! You're presumed guilty until you unredact the Epstein files because you're hiding them. Innocent people don't do that! Show us what's in those files, Thunder Chicken! Show us what we already suspect.”

“A teacher of standing, a poet, tells her class, Never put stars in your poems, and some of the students write this down. And some stop writing after a year or two. And some get married or take jobs selling pharmaceuticals.” —Stephen Kuusisto, “Erasing Stars” @coppercanyonpress.bsky.social

My folks always stressed the importance of detachment. They worked two or three jobs just to put aloof over our heads.

Lower bills. Protect the NHS. Rebuild public services. Vote Hannah Spencer & the Green Party.

I asked my grandma if she was nervous during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and she replied that she didn't notice it as she was too busy having babies. It inspired this poem. #BookSky #poetry

This time tomorrow, let's hope that the future has started turning Green. It's about time that hope was reborn in this country. @zackpolanski.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2026...
