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 Laura Cooney: Kids for being an inspiration (as always)

Had a few bursts of inspiration and sent some things to PaperBound Magazine this evening for their theme ELEMENTS Why not do the same?

After reading The Weight of Water I'm currently obsessed with Sarah Crossan Please nobody speak to me this weekend I'm very busy!

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.

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

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.
