A super, summery collection of poems for end of term poetry writing inspiration, collected by the wonderful @brianmosespoet.bsky.social So pleased to have one of mine included!

Big congratulations, Ian, it's a very creative poem! 🪐

UPDATE: Nine excited pupils & two even more excited staff turned up. She talked us through the rules first, which were very simple: read books & be kind. 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.

Tic-Tac-Toe Tactics poem by Stefan Karlsson published on The Dirigible Balloon website.

Grateful to have two new poems for kids flying on The Dirigible Balloon website 🎈

Thank you to @northernjim.bsky.social for lifting up children’s poetry! Here’s one of mine.

The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers. They shape us at the deepest levels, and they stay with us forever. So whatever else you do - please never stop reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. Please never stop changing lives! #literacy

Poetry & Percussion show for children, and for the child in every adult. If you are in the Battle/Hastings area, do come along and say 'Hi.' There will also be an after show book signing session. RTs appreciated. Catch a glimpse of my show here: youtube.com/watch?v=qxSX...

Thank you to @litkidsmagazine.bsky.social for giving me the chance to share about my creative process in this interview! Honored to be featured on their awesome blog 😊✨

READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So whatever else you do, please never stop reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. Never stop helping them find books to read and love. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #books

here long, long before me.
I call you strong bone-shield wearer,
gracefully gliding free."
