As rain falls onto the grey pavement in Shepherd's Bush, I imagine the tiny crowns that form as each one lands, a majesty of miniature water kings and queens beneath our feet.

Lost in thought, a man on the tube removes his spectacles, and with practised one-handed ease, folds them up by gently pressing each arm in turn against his closed lips.

Yes.

Good morning! Here's my poem for #PoemsAbout #Consent
Thank you, as always to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk!

I have a busy day ahead, but there's a little time for #PoemsAbout. #Consent is a thorny topic but here goes...

On the hoof:

We are the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, and with partners, farmers, land managers and others we help look after this special place.

We are one of 15 National Parks in the UK, and one of 2 in North Yorkshire with our neighbours the North York Moors National Park.

I'd call the Transport Police.

'Still life at Charleston' (1945) depicts a scene inside Duncan Grant's studio at Charleston farmhouse in East Sussex, it was a period where his work began to shift toward a richer use of colour.

It absolutely would have been. We all had copies of the book sent in advance for proper research. Fabulously bonkers weekend.

Nightlife of the Gods anyone? My cousin once held a fancy dress party with this theme.. I can't recall most of it, except the excellent Bloody Marys with horseradish infused vodka.

Painted in 1935, Tamara de Lempicka’s still life is a rare departure from her portraits but it does have common characteristics such as her love of transparent and reflective surfaces.

In a damaged world, truth survives only in the fractures.
A sorter and more accessible take on this weeks #PoemsAbout Thanks as ever to @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

My daughter was there. It was extraordinary, life affirming and the reason she loves living in that community.

Goodnight.

Hoping Lucas has a decent sleeping bag with a cowl hood and an Eveready torch. Night night Hookland.

Goodnight from Lucas Bradley, carefully making dust sigils as he beds down for another night of rough sleeping in the crypt of St. Brewald’s. Goodnight from Stedman’s Scrapyard, where cars protest the crusher in rust rasp voices and metal screams into the wind. Goodnight from Hookland.

Mug dispels fug. Morning!

I've got my holiday reading sorted!

These arrived today. Already shed a tear. Familiar lives. Interesting history & perspectives. Such fine writing from @fiftywords.bsky.social . Hats off to you Dermot Murphy. 👌

A performed poem controls time. A page poem surrenders time to the reader.

🧨I wish this were unbelievable. Brilliant article drawing the horror together.

What a delight. 'always eat from the garden' great advice if you can, long live the #allotment!

Goodnight from Lewis Bramwell, comforted by the thought that if he dies due to tripping on one of the hundreds of books on his staircase at least his ghost will have a lot to read. Goodnight from Gemma Cross, scrabbling to make a chalk circle around her bed. Goodnight from Hookland.

Fabulous conversation with @wendypratt.bsky.social at #YorkLiteraryFestival this evening. Interesting questions and really interesting answers. Food for thought.

'Salisbury Cathedral.' (1936) Early in his career, Charles Ginner preferred to paint interiors and street scenes, but after WW1 turned his attention to meticulous study of landscape. Here he includes the Bishop’s Palace, built in 1220, the first structure to be built in the Close
