SNOW MOON For a moment this morning I called you Tiger Moon. You let the clouds stripe you before first light. On my way home you hung low over fields then winked at me in my rear-view mirror. When I asked your real name you whispered Snow Moon and the storm winds blew wild.

A poem for the #FullMoon #SnowMoon

Poster announcing the sixth anniversary of online poetry journal iamb, and showing the faces of 18 poets who featured in its birthday celebration on Zoom on the evening of January 31st 2026.

Six years ago, a new online poetry journal launched against an inauspicious backdrop of a pandemic and Britain's exit from the EU.

@iamb.uk has since sailed many waves. Its 25th will appear this March. Last night, these 18 poets celebrated the journal's first six years. And it was bloody brilliant!

February on the calendars brings:

#LookThere Ronnie sitting on a sea wall in Guernsey.

#ElasticBandPhotos ‘Lovely’: A discarded elastic band, in a gutter, heart-shaped.

Lovely to be in the same zooooom roooooom as you sharing words!

This March, on-line @zoebrooks.bsky.social unveils her seismic new collection—Something in Nothing—a thunderous, smouldering volume that confronts denial and illuminates the shadows we so often refuse to face.

Today's joy is taking time out for a bowl of soup in the company of good people.

A photo of a plant (heuchera) covered and bowed by frost with frosted weeds surrounding

Good morning. -0.1 and haar bound today so no views for sharing. Instead, this frosted photo from yesterday for today’s #photooftheday a different sort of landscape.

On this supposedly blue Monday, make it a Brew Monday instead c/o the Samaritans & the ever lovely @suefinch.bsky.social
