A glorious open mic once again. Many BIG poems this evening - huge, universal subjects written with attention to detail and innovation. Every poet massively different. YES!!!!! Carol Sheppard Julian Cason Merril D. Smith 🌻 jide badmus Debbie Ross Paul Short 🎙️🔥🌎
Alan Parry and I will disagree on almost all aspects of his view on imagism - and there’s no issue with that but…we both think Regine Ebner is brilliant. 🤩 Imagism’s legacy is far more complex, diverse & rich than one man - the anti-Semite Pound. thebrokenspine.co.uk/2025/03/15/bro…

It will be an honour and a pleasure to host TopTweetTuesday for the third time tomorrow. Looking forward to reading a wonderful selection of imagist #poetry on the theme of emotions/state of mind… but remember not to include the word for it! 🤍
For this week's TopTweetTuesday and host Helen Laycock, Writer ✍ , my metaphorical state of mind poem. Look forward to reading others later.
Good morning everyone. Here is my offering for TopTweetTuesday and brilliant host Helen Laycock, Writer ✍ . 🦋
Hi TopTweetTuesday and today's superlative host Helen Laycock, Writer ✍ and also for #promptcombo #aura Ronnie Smith :
A new poem ‘Make a Tiny Altar’ inspired by TopTweetTuesday and the host’s prompt. I made up a new word and it’s a 5 min poem so it’s weird but that’s what we go for. Thank you Helen Laycock, Writer ✍

If you wondered (maybe didn't notice ), I'm taking a break from this platform. I just can't be here anymore while my country is being destroyed. I'll miss TopTweetTuesday. Au revoir, not goodbye. Meanwhile, you can find me at the blue place and on my blog. xx
