2020 to 2022 I along with Ian McMillan were writing sonnets daily for Hear My Voice in Barnsley. I had a few read out on Radio Sheffield and a few published in books produced by Barnsley Museums.

Thank you Stephen. I like sonnets better but have only written one in a long time. Haiku's are quicker and easier.

@imcmillan.bsky.social @R4TheVerb Enjoyed the programme today. Lots of memories. I played in the Totty Cup in 1952, didn't win. Council School always beat us. Clearly remember Aberfan, I visited the memorial in Aberfan.

@imcmillan.bsky.social @r4TheVerb Keats was born 169 years before the day I got married. A great start to The Verb. A great romantic poet, just like myself. Autumn, "A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever". Many great descriptions of autumn.

On my way to the museum. It's bacon butty day and the launch of Duncan Gawthorpe's new book. It will be well worth a read. We are open today from 10.00am to 2.00pm.
