Never ask a linguist "Is that a word?" because you will always get the same response, "IT IS NOW!" 😃 delivered with some variation of jazz hands like you just won a very low stakes game show and I'm so sorry it's just part of the training it's not something we can control.

uh idk why i suddenly have 3K more followers than last week, but i assume it's because of Black History Month and if so i have a book coming out, THIS ENDS IN EMBERS, sequel to SO LET THEM BURN, and tbh i'd rather you buy it or repost this so other people might buy it 😘 bookshop.org/contributors...

Today’s poem is called ‘This is Not the Poem I Had Hoped to Write’.

This is Not the Poem I Had Hoped to Write

This is not the poem I had hoped to write
when I sat at my desk and the page was white.
You see, there were other words I’d had in mind,
yet this is what I leave behind.

I thought it was a poem to eradicate war;
one of such power, it would heal all the sores
of a world torn apart by conflict and schism.
But it isn’t.

Lovers, I’d imagined, would quote from it daily,
Mothers would sing it to soothe crying babies.
And whole generations would be given new hope.
Nope.

I had grand aspirations. Believe me, I tried.
Humanity examined with lessons applied.
But the right words escaped me; so often they do.
Have these in lieu.

This was one of my very favourite blogs to write. It’s a proper love letter to Birmingham and a cross response to the sneering framing of working class families in the media. birminghamteacher.wordpress.com/2022/03/13/o...
