#NationalPoetryDay "Oak, Man"

Twig, leaf, acorn;
chlorophyll flows
root, branch.
Twig, leaf, acorn;
hardened skin
cracked, misshapen.
Twig, leaf, acorn;
cellulose heart
Oak, Man.

Happy National #Poetry Day!

Learn more about one of Wales's most revered poets in 'R. S. Thomas, Desperado: Cultural Warrior of Wales' by M. Wynn Thomas.

📚️ www.uwp.co.uk/book/r-s-tho...

#NationalPoetryDay

‘M. Wynn Thomas, with his usual wry wit and poetic perception, walks the path around the distant and rugged terrain of R. S. Thomas. This book is like light through a prism, the whole spectrum of the poet’s hints, ambiguities and shards on full view, and admired with such a passionate and joyful questioning. No one reads between R.S.’s lines with such clarity, and to read this book is a teasing delight to both the parched soul and roving mind.’ The Very Revd Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwark

It’s #NationalPoetryDay 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Carousel’s learning disabled poets, Yassin, Joel, Stuart, Susannah and Charlie.

Writing about everything from nature to mouldy fridge ingredients, each poet has their own unique style.

Yassin performs at SpiegelGardens. She is speaking in to a microphone and wears colourful sunglasses, red hair and an iridescent dress.Susannah stands in front of a microphone. She is looking to the side and smiling.

My favourite ever poem.
#NationalPoetryDay

‘Warning’ by Jenny Joseph: When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
 With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me. 
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves 
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter. 
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
 And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
 And run my stick along the public railings
 And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
 I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
 And pick flowers in other people’s gardens
 And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat 
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
 Or only bread and pickle for a week
 And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
 And pay our rent and not swear in the street
 And set a good example for the children.
 We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
 So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
 When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

It’s #NationalPoetryDay somewhere. I’m in. #TodaysPoem is from Rubies, the 20th anniversary chapbook. This one by Claudia Coutu Radmore was a sternum jab in the best sense. too early for #SmallPoemSunday?

by CLAUDIA COUTU RADMORE the squirrel an egg and turning over an older squirrel perches on the railing gnawing on a peanut in the blizzard I turn from the window to check my egg poaching in its simmering water and when I nudge it, it turns over and suddenly you're here at only two weeks old and your uncle Carl is visiting surprised that you so seldom cry, amazed that at only two weeks old you've rolled from your tummy onto your back and now Uncle Carl is gone and you are gone How can you not be here asking about the squirrel with no ears? soon the old squirrel will be gone and how in your last sweet years you looked so much like your uncle CarlRubies, with image of pomegranate by Dion Prints

Woman walks into a Hull hairdresser and asks for a perm.

Certainly, he replies: 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?'
