What a treat it’s been to be soaked in your poetry Regine Ebner from Mountains that see in the Dark. Here’s a recent poem from the Peak District. Looking forward to reading others. TopTweetTuesday Black Bough Poetry / Barddoniaeth Y Gangen Ddu

Here’s my edited version of a Spirit of Place swift poem for ⁦TopTweetTuesday⁩ with the brilliant ⁦Regine Ebner⁩ as host.

For TopTweetTuesday and Regine Ebner the spirit of place isn't always found in the place itself but in the things that happened there. Late one. Dark, as they all are at the moment. Hope it works. Hope the day's been good to you R.

Coming out of leftfield, on the spirit of place theme, I offer this imagist ( possibly Kylie influenced soundtracked ) CAN'T YOU SEE THOSE VERY HULKING CUMLONIMBUS to our wonderful, esteemed host Regine Ebner Thanks, as always, Black Bough Poetry / Barddoniaeth Y Gangen Ddu TopTweetTuesday Matthew M C Smith
