I'm ecstatic to have three poems published by PoetryXHunger, the wonderful initiative founded by the outstanding poet Hiram Larew. You can read, or listen to me reading the poems here: poetryxhunger.com/international-…

For this week's prompt, I picked an object I've wrestled with. <100 words excluding title. Some anatomical terms in italics. Looking forward to reading all the great poems written for our lovely host Zaina at TopTweetTuesday - Tuesdays are the best.

I offer the autumnal 'Conker' today for TopTweetTuesday. Huge thanks to host @zr_ghaniand and Matthew M C Smith and all the readers and sharers of words.

For TopTweetTuesday and host Zaina a poem written this morning, ‘Casualty’, based on a recent experience 🦊 😞 Thank you for hosting Zaina x

Good morning TopTweetTuesday and host Zaina here's a poem about one of my favourite heirlooms. My gran never liked it and I never understood why. I think I do now.

Hi TopTweetTuesday & Matthew M C Smith. Many thanks to Zaina Zaina, hosting today. The 'thing' of my poem was beautifully crafted by Karen Karen Pierce Gonzalez, & previously appeared on Paul Brookes's #EkphrasticChallenge. Cheers all. ✨

Good morning TopTweetTuesday and esteemed host today Zaina - thank you for reading and reviewing our poems! Here’s my offering on Gift. Off to celebrate my big day after a negative Covid test. Right on cue! Phew! I will read your poems later today.

This TopTweetTuesday the brief set by Zaina is to write 100 or fewer imagist words inspired by an object. I've got a feeling the object in question below will appear frequently throughout the day. ☕️

Hi there, Zaina Zaina and the TopTweetTuesday posse! Thank you for hosting and for a great prompt. Here's my little 74-word offering, inspired by my trusty desk-lamp, which I love having as the only light in the room as I'm writing late into the night. Enjoy 🤓

Hello Zaina a revised poem first published in Dreich for TopTweetTuesday . I'm unwell at the moment so I really hope you're having a better day reading than I am! #poetry

Hi to everyone TopTweetTuesday and our kind but beleaguered host Zaina and our founder Matthew M C Smith . I should have gone to spec savers as my object is a chisel?!?
