A little late for #HaikuSaturday but here's my offering this morning

GIVEAWAY: To celebrate the book birthday of 'Komodos', I'm giving away two copies to good homes. RT and/or follow to be in with a chance. Read about the book here: brian-moses.blogspot.com/2023/01/selfie… Ends Sunday Feb 4th. #competitions

Yesterday I tweeted a photo of a tree near my house, in a post about pareidolia (seeing faces and other images in everyday objects). This morning I woke up to find this from the wonderful Guy T. Olivieri.

Don’t let anyone tell you that Twitter has lost its magic.

Getting back into the habit of submitting poetry and saw this thanks to the wonderful Laura Cooney

Word that’s making me smile today: pareidolia. It’s the tendency to find faces or other meaningful patterns in everyday things. A fox in a cloud, a heartbeat in white noise, an owl in a tree trunk.

After reading The Weight of Water I'm currently obsessed with Sarah Crossan

Please nobody speak to me this weekend I'm very busy!

Thursday: Write a new poem day!
Here's my offering for the The Toy #skip #wordoftheweek #newpoem
Thanks for the prompt!

Skip
Skip, in a moment of joy,
a second of celebration,
Unhindered by inhibitions,
Released to rejoice
In life, let’s skip, skip, skip!

No guilt - just skip it! #wordoftheweek

Life’s a Leap

Life’s a leap, a hop, a skip
Go chase the day before it dips
Life’s a hop, a skip, a leap
Go save a smile before it fleets
Life’s a skip, a leap, a hop
Go catch a tick before it tocks

#prompt #poetrycommunity The Toy

Teachers! Have you seen this book? Shaping the World, a book of shape poems about heroes who have shaped our world - 20 women, 20 men, including all the ones you know, and some who should be more well known, especially women! Great for cross-curricular- history, art, and poetry!

Had a few bursts of inspiration and sent some things to PaperBound Magazine this evening for their theme ELEMENTS

Why not do the same?

Got a bit carried away, but like the kid in the poem, sometimes your hand is the poet and you just go with it. Thanks Children's Writing by Laura Cooney 💫🧙 for being an inspiration (as always)

It's Wednesday!

Time for the second day of:

#picturemethis

I'm both delighted and honoured to announce my story about wasps and friendship in the latest lovely issue of Parakeet Magazine. May it entertain and give you pause. It's a story I've always wanted to share and I'm so thankful to be able to do it here. 🐝 Thank you!

Hope everyone is having a great start to the year!

A little reminder that our writing and illustration submissions are currently open. The theme: elements! 🔥💧💨🌱

Deadline: 23rd Feb!

We can't wait to see what you come up with!
