Daily poetry prompt: What have you never seen?
Never seen a hyena with a vacuum cleaner,
never seen a goat in a boat.
Never seen a pike on a motorbike
but I've seen an anaconda on a Honda.

Quick! Before October is over for another year, we wondered if anyone has a favorite Autumn poem to celebrate the season? π
Here's a classic from Robert Louis Stevenson, to kick things off...
As Halloween draws near, don't forget that sometimes monsters get lonely too.
Just like in this poem by Myles McLeod, from Issue 23...

Lots of advice to children plus examples plenty of poems: Take a look at my showreel: youtube.com/watch?v=qxSXy2β¦

Everyone enjoyed reading Albert's Tree by @jennidesmond.bsky.social & then talking about what they would do if they were a bear. It was perfect.
