      New Year 2022 Lips kissed at midnight, we skitter home, twist off rimy pavements like kittens on black ice, think how returning takes forever. We try to squint at the twelvemonth ahead but our eyeballs are bobbed plums, rollicking spirit-levels...

      Clara is just another girl, dreaming in her deep pink world of sugar mice and sugar plums.  Young enough to fall for the charms of clockwork and blue-eyed dolls with ballerina sherbet swirls of layered net; light enough to sit on uncles’ laps,...

      Nativity ‘Lullay, lullay.’ Can you hear her sing, so far from here, crouched on bloodied straw, beside the phlegmatic ox? ‘Lullay, lullay, my little child, may we know peace tonight.’ She sings, and learns, against her weary heart, the peace he...

      Elbow Room We travel home (ignoring that we lost it years ago) in time for turkey, mistletoe, for ear-worms to re-cast the brain. We check out the reindeer hanging on the third branch up, its always spot, now single antlered and rubbed free of...

Today's poem is a critical, comprehensive rundown of a country's co-option from a citizen's viewpoint. Take a look at this 'Portrait Of A Country' by @apostlejohnchin

Today's poem comes from @sapphire_allard , and contains this rousing and robust couplet. May we all curate our own trust in this wild unknown. Enjoy 'Memory Of Water'!

There are a few of things here:

1) is it possible that poetry actually DOES have more readers who aren’t poets, but poets are the only ones who bang on about reading poetry? So it seems like we’re all just reading each other’s books? https://twitter.com/roguestrands/status/1541541190985814017

Why does contemporary U.K. poetry have so few readers who aren't poets themselves...?

Today's poem comes from @badbettypress editor @JakeWildHall and locks in on a moment, a daydream, a thought spiral, with a hint of Alanis Morissette.
