For TopTweetTuesday and this week's tutor/host Matthew M C Smith I know there will be glorious imagist-inspired poems, and there will be this - inspired? by the most-quoted of them all (Pound - In a Station of the Metro):

H.D. seems to be the one. I gravitate to her simplicity of language & expression, & willingness to push the boundaries of what constrained her. For TopTweetTuesday and host Matthew M C Smith - thanks for a really enjoyable challenge

Good morning everyone. Great to be back to TopTweetTuesday Thanks Matthew M C Smith for the challenge. I’ve been reading poems by H.D. I used ‘Leda’ as inspiration.

From my poem Disabled Steps published in the amazing Peak Poetry anthology, put together by Kathryn Beevor. Thank you! Lots of stunning poems in here and it’s raising money for the KASIN charity (Kids at School in Nepal). Dm Kathryn for a copy 🙂⛰️

Greetings to all peeps who follow TopTweetTuesday and a warm welcome back to this great writing community! Following this week's brief, of taking inspiration from a historical imagist poet ( avoiding pastiche etc ) I offer BADLANDS DARK BLUE BEARDED IRIS After HD Sea Iris

#EverStridingEdge Thankyou to Helen Laycock, Writer ✍ Helen Laycock for this detailed review of my latest collection, "Ever Striding Edge" on Amazon: Review on Amazon: How a poet grieves... amzn.eu/d/flrNWsU

Paul is not only a wonderfully authentic poet, but a Champion of Poets on this platform. It was a privilege to be entrusted not only with his poetry, but with his story. This collection has huge emotional impact. ♥️💔♥️

For #vss365 and #goal - another more or less true story, this one told to me by a residential home carer.

The goal is simple To seal the scar and forget As if possible The avalanche of music Lamenting everything you #vss365 #tanka #WritingCommunity
