A note found on the sideboard reads: Icebox (Wednesday) and inspires a poem... ICEBOX WEDNESDAY I found your note about those cold plums you had hidden away in the fridge waiting for your lunch I’m sorry I couldn’t resist and now they are gone

Celebrating 'The Plough' by making it Poem of the Month on my website resulted in unlinking a lot of my pages and the need to interrupt my wife for tech support. Anyway... if you like poems being read to you, here's a simple YouTube link to this face reading you The Plough! youtu.be/g8qlSvrYNK4

Delighted to have my poem 'The Plough' included here. Especially since it was written for #NationalPoetryDay AND it's a love poem!

Went out to find the best stick in the garden only to realise I have a thing for trimming them a lot this year! Still, there are enough nubbles for hanging things from for now. View from my chair with a pint o’ water. Happy Saturday!

Today I had the joy of visiting the poetry group at the retirement village to record the group poem 'God's Moving the Furniture Around' which was written for #NationalPoetryDay 2026.

This poem is having an outing today. It's TopTweetTuesday AND I found my first conker of the season at the weekend in someone else's town.

Conker
You slip out smooth;
your emergence perfect gloss.

You are Autumn
seemingly solid as wood.

I pocket you,
roll you between finger and thumb.
Palm you
as my lucky charm.

Yet there is a hint of death in you.
And a tree.

I am holding you still as I walk.
Daring myself to lick my fingers
for the taste of you.

Some poems have flown back and are asking for a polish. Two say they want better endings so that's this morning's mission.

My poem written for the #FullMoon and celebrating that it is #HarvestMoon

STOP EATING THE LOVE HEARTS

We scatter snow warmth,
swell soft gifts.

Thank you, thank you.

Near wayside evening birds,
more bread.

Thank you.

Then all our food gifts –
love hearts.

Refrain.

(N.B., this poem was found in the traditional hymn ‘We Plough the Fields and Scatter’ and after it was found it was gifted its title.)

This is my representation of ‘The Anniversary Poems’. I am still contemplating filling a few of the gaps but top of the shop is definitely going to be 75. Happy poet dance for the inspiration to bring all these into being. 🪩✍️❤️

Ronnie definitely looks like he is celebrating this milestone! Although to be fair he jumps for joy for every episode. Thanks to everyone who listens and takes time with the words. The 150th episode of “Singing as the Darkness Lifts” on PodBean.

Today’s joy is coffee + conversation whilst waiting for a mot. The mot was planned, the coffee + conversation beautiful moments arising from just sitting in a particular chair at a particular time near someone who had lovely chat for these listening ears. And my phone’s only out because she’s gone.

This poem is having a little trip out into the world today to honour the shift in seasons. It was originally published as part of my Silver Branch feature curated by Black Bough Poetry's @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social #Poetry #Autumn #Poems

They Are Autumn

And they look delicious
smoothed brown on the ground
with their snug little green hats.

And I want to eat some
but I have forgotten their name
and I don’t know if you can.

I give in to the temptation
to tread on some,
to feel them hold out
before my weight cracks them open.

All I know is they fell from the tree above.
Its leaves are telling me it’s an oak,
and I know so much depends upon this tree,
but it takes me all day
to remember acorns.
