Good morning #poetry lovers. Thank you Matthew M C Smith for all you do for so many poets and for being the host with the most 🙌 Here's my 'Monumental' micropoem for TopTweetTuesday - Hope this 14-word imagist offering hits the spot 😎

I'm so happy to have a wee poem in The Wee Sparrow . Thank you, Marcelle and Bronwen, for choosing my little 'Star-ling' thing to spread its wings in the world. Can't wait to see it and everyone else's super poems in there, too. 💚

thank you to Martin for sharing his poetry and a rather wonderful interview Martin Kennedy Yates

If you like poems and thinking about poetic practice, wing your way over the this super substack and give my interview a read - plus 3 of my visual poems for free! 🤗 It only went up today and I've had some lovely feedback already. 🥰 open.substack.com/pub/thewingedm…

Hello #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers This week on #PromptCombo over on the blue place the challenge from Victoria Spires was #Hidden - so as I was doing a lot of digging out there in the heat I collected a few bits and bobs in the hope that they'd inspire a poem... 😎

Well, it's taken me all week but here's my response to the #PromptCombo challenge #Hidden - over on the blue place - a visual poem (of course) inspired by the things I found hidden in the earth - see previous post - read out loud to the steady rhythm of digging on a hot day 😎

Morning all on TopTweetTuesday 😎 Thank you Sue Finch (she/her) for hosting us. Here's my 42-word offering on #silence - with a visual form inspired by #BarbaraHepworth and a #Hamlet quote thrown in! Please open the image for a full-view of the poem. Enjoy! #poetrycommunity #poetry

Rise, ye Poets! Give these judges something to chew on! Make their decision as hard as possible.

Mornin' all on  TopTweetTuesday & esp sandra noel for hosting today. Thought I'd share a snippet from my 5-part, Eliot-inspired poem, "This Wilderness," which will be out with TheBrokenSpine in Sept. Enjoy! 😎 Thanks as always Matthew M C Smith #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity

Don't worry, Sandra, and other #poetrylovers, come September-time, I'll be letting you know when "This Wilderness & Other Concerns" is out and available for you to get your hands on!😊

Hey, thanks for the support as always Matthew M C Smith Black Bough Poetry / Barddoniaeth Y Gangen Ddu It's an honour to be listed with these lovely, talented, creative people 😍 Yes, do give us a follow - I'm Martin Kennedy Yates - I have my debut poetry pamphlet coming out with The Broken Spine in Sept.😎

Hey there, #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #WritingCommunity - come along tomorrow and join in TopTweetTuesday ... by writing and sharing a poem, by reading and appreciating some, or both of these things. ❤️

Mornin' Kim Kim Russell & the TopTweetTuesday crew 😃 Here's my debut quadrille which I knew previously as a kinda square-dance for 4 couples, hence the form. I thought I'd have a bit of fun by combining Hamlet's dilemma about taking action with my mixed feelings about dancing🤪

Mornin' #poetrycommunity 😀 Ever written a quadrille? Me neither, until yesterday. It's a 44-word poem (not inc. title) - that's it - no other formal constraints - it can be free-verse, rhyming or not, as you wish. I couldn't resist giving myself an extra challenge... see below.

Hi Sarah - Sarah Raybould - happy hosting on TopTweetTuesday today. Hope it's going well 😃 I spent some time listening to rocks & cliffs on Anglesey last week. They were very secretive! I wrote this for you today, in response to that experience. Enjoy! #poetrycommunity #poetry

Mornin' Bex Hainsworth 😎 Thanx for hosting TopTweetTuesday again. Initial drafts of this poem were about my attempts to shed the pounds - gradually it became about shedding so much more. It found its way into Stand Magazine 😊 Hope you like it. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers

It's a privilege to have this endorsement from the inimitable JD, who is something of a legend in the literary world of the West Mids - he'll cringe at that because he's also a very modest chap. It means a lot that he enjoyed my manuscript & appreciated the craft of my poems. 😊
