Really enjoying my poetry prep with Ferlinghetti, but can't get beyond the advice to Rita... Did she follow it? What's your favourite inscription, found or otherwise? #poets #Ferlinghetti

Straggly copse of tall, bare trees, with brook in the foreground and sun bouncing off it.

Isn't it fabulous to see the sun this week?! My walk in Boultham Park yesterday. Now you've slept on it, I hope that word/line/plot point is suddenly clear. Have a good one, writer friends. #Lincoln #photography #nature #trees #writers #poets

This was published this afternoon. I think it is the most exceptionally beautiful piece of online publishing! Big thanks to @leiabutler.bsky.social and @fullhouselitmag.bsky.social for all they do - and for including my piece 'Lares and Penates' therein...๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™

This is why poetry is meant to be read out loud; such musicality โค๏ธ

Christ of St John on the Cross, Dali. An illuminated Christ, head bowed, suspended on a brown wooden cross, above a blue sky nuzzled with white clouds, empty fishing boat below.

You know that moment when you've pressed 'submit' and you're full of hope? That's me, right now. It can only end in tears? #Watchthisspace

I wonder if this is a British/American thing, and whether an art house French piece would be regarded the same?

Is it just me, or do any other list makers add 'to do' points to their list when they've already completed them, but forgotten to list them in the first instance? So you can have the sublime joy of ticking them off? ๐Ÿ˜š Perhaps I need to get out more? #thiswritinglife #writers
