I’ve been doing a lot of wondering today, with children in Notting Hill. One thing we wondered about is what exactly should be in a poem.

National Poetry Day is on Thursday! I've written a blog about some practical, fun ways that poetry can be embedded right across the curriculum, not just in English lessons: joshuaseigalpoet.blogspot.com/2026/09/nati... @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social @poetrydayuk.bsky.social #EduSky #NationalPoetryDay

No way I can compete with the major poetry publishers who get collections stocked by bricks-and-mortar bookshops But I do have word of mouth and all you wonderful people here on Bluesky, pushing the numbers of readers of Whatever You Do, Just Don't far beyond the sales of the big boys. Thank you!

Some lovely stuff in here. Poems to enjoy reading. Poems that are fun to say. Poems that could be a great starting place for children's own writing. Really worth having in your collection - signed or otherwise.

I have been writing a review this afternoon, and these guys have been craning their necks, reading every word. They now want to read the book.

My Thinking Cabin is nearly ready, but I promised myself the first book I’d review in here would be this - as I knew it would be a joy - so I couldn’t wait any longer. I’ll just stare at the boxes. It is a joy, review to come. (My cabin has been launched with some bizarre images) @afharrold.com

On a bus with a TV screen showing me what's going on outside my bus window. it's like being in a less-exciting version of Don Paterson's poem 'Postmodern'.

Still feel a newbie - writing prose for kids. Got lots to learn, but I love how major characters reveal much about themselves when relating to minor characters. So encouraged by reviewers who’ve noted the community spirit in WSR. Jonne Donne said it much better than I ever could!

My husband took the dog out. He found a box of free books outside a house on his route. He brought one home. He said he thought I’d like it. I told him he’s not clever and he’s not funny.

This arrived today. I had the privilege of reading the PDFs a few weeks back, so I could review it. Always good to have the real thing in your hands. Great stuff from @attielime.bsky.social

What my 9yo and I are reading this week. Plus everything he's reading at school 📚 Reading to him is already dropping off a little in Year 5 because he's so keen to read his own book independently; I hope we can keep it up as long as possible. #KidLitUk #UKKidLit

After an initial flurry of kind reviews, I wondered if WSR had got lost in the summer break, but a kind review from @afharrold.com this morning, and then this one from avid reader, @edfinch.bsky.social , have made me believe it might make its way into the reading world. So thoughtful in detail.🥹

Whenever I spend less time on social media, I’m concerned I’m not supporting other writers regularly enough, but I’m still happy because my JOMO quota increases. Much of life is a balancing act.

We need you to recommend us. To mention how much you liked our work. To write reviews on the big book sites... not just click 5⭐ and move on. Actually write something. It helps. Without those small, cost-free acts by you, most creatives are in financial trouble.
