New website domain for me and @lozzakidwriting.bsky.social If you've previously subscribed to my blog, it looks like you'll need to do it again. Unfortunate. But I'd appreciate it if you did. I don't post content often. Honest.

Photo of Little Thoughts Press Issue 9: Go Wild featuring a peek at the poem "King of the World" by Laura Cooney, accompanied by the illustration Royal Flower by Alina Manolache, of a monarch butterfly perched on a milkweed flower.
"For all its presence and strength,
The lion spends all its days on the Savannah,
Hunting, eating and sleeping.
But royal butterfly,
you have the most terrific journey ahead."
-from "King of the World" by @lozzakidwriting.bsky.social

My YR3 class are tricky to engage, but yesterday we explored poetry. Despite protest they loved the TheDirigible.org, particularly this poem by @valpoet.bsky.social
@northernjim.bsky.social
One particulay inspired child's poem from beginning to end. Thx Val

The end just flew into sight.
I've just topped 26,000 words of the novel!!
10,000 to go.
I can do this in a late night fortnight.
I AM going to do this in a late night fortnight.
Must get the first draft finished before summer hits.
For all my North American friends celebrating Mother's Day today here's a link to a Mummy poem I have in the Sky Surfing anthology and the beautiful artwork Jo Byatt produced for it.

Wrote this when my 2 year old started calling ice cubes "tinkles," because of the sound on the glass. 🥰
I wanted to remember these things before she gets it right, so I put some of her "wrongs" together while waiting on the bus. #kidlit #poem
It was my pinned post on the other place so here it is.
May 12th is #InternationalDayofPlantHealth. An Iranian poet once wrote of butterflies as ‘Love letters exchanged by flowers’
Look at flowers in your garden or in the school grounds. Think about what various flowers might write to each other. brian-moses.blogspot.com/2020/05/flow...
Yes I have. Moving aside from the grown up stuff for a few weeks so might be quiet in this area... Need to get this kids novel draft finished. But cannot write a grown up word while I'm doing it. You can imagine. Wish me luck.
I'll still be doing #poemsabout because I'm an addict.😂

I can't think of a better day to be reading Blue Jelly and Strawberries by @attielime.bsky.social in a garden. 24 degrees. Sunshine that is definitely NOT hiding!
Delightful!
