New graphic, new template :D
Welcome to Poetry as a Warm-up. We continue to write a daily long-form post as 2025 goes on, but for ease of access, and to allow those people who want to read these pieces WITHOUT having to pile through the blog content, we’ll have the poems as a separate entity going forward. They will also reappear in various guises across the year ‘in different forms’.
The first one is now available to read via this link.
Right, this is suitably ‘Summery’ and will last us until it becomes the Season of Mellow Fruitfulness. I have had an interesting couple of days, all of which have involved my non-poetry brain being pushed, often forcefully, out of its comfort zone. I have a lot of feelings on this. We’ll write out some of it as long-form, and the rest is likely to become poetry…
