#smallpoemSunday This is part of the title poem from 'Safe Ground', my collection published last year by @micapress @lesbillbell.bsky.social

Each stanza is #17syllables though not the usual haiku form. Enjoy your #Sunday

Gorgeous book launches at #Rye as part of the arts festival. Lovely to hear Alex Josephy launch her 'A Little Bridge' (Pindrop Press) today - birdsong included - & to see Anwesha & Sagar's new book too. 'Rye in Light and Shade' launches tomorrow in the George's ballroom

I went down to the shore this evening with Mary Oliver's poem in my heart & a little #17 of my own from way back hovering at my shoulder. This is the most gorgeous time of year. Enjoy your autumn

'Safe Ground', published by wonderful Mica Press last year, came up in conversation again today. A friend's friend needed cheering up so she sat her down & read her my poem 'Happy the Woman'. All smiles in no time.

The #Odyssey: film or book?
I grew up with 'the surge and thunder of The Odyssey' with my classicist dad acting all the characters at my bedtime, even the sheep. Here's my blogpost about what works in Christopher Nolan's film & what he's left out... rosiejohnstonwrites.com/blog/
