Here's a poem from me for #NationalPoetryDay this week: 'What is a poem?' 🤔🖊️🗣️ I was asked this by a girl in Year 5 during a school visit/assembly nearly a decade ago. Back then my answer wasn't great & I'm hoping this is more helpful. What do you think makes a poem?

Here’s a little more festive fun to keep the kids occupied. Just one paper plate required. 🎄 darrellwakelam.com

Mental health must be approached with sensitivity, awareness and an open mindset. Conversations about it cannot be shied away from. What holds you back from talking about mental health and illnesses? This month, it's #TimetoTalkUK about mental health.
