Apologies. I couldn't resist sharing one the pun popped into my head. Rhynes really are wonderful, and a technology we would do well to roll out more widely, beyond rural farmland

Fourteen days until the Kindle edition of Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry.

The paperback's been out since the third — if you've been holding off for the ebook specifically, the wait is nearly over.

#SomersetInVerse #BritishCountiesInVerse
A wide-angle cinematic view of the Somerset Levels at dawn. Thick, low-lying white mist clings to the dark, waterlogged peat soil and deep green rhynes. In the far distance, the jagged, solid silhouette of a limestone tor rises sharply against a bruised sky of violet and cold amber. The foreground focuses on the tactile precision of frost-tipped sedge grass and the weathered grain of an ancient wooden gatepost. The atmosphere captures the heavy, permanent weight of the earth contrasted with the fleeting, ethereal movement of the morning fog. High-contrast textures of damp stone, reflective water, and soft vapor.

Just into nearby rhynes and onwards which is where the water will ultimately end up anyway. All to be discussed with relevant authorities but should be okay.

A week and a half in, and the strangest part of publishing Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry has been hearing which poems land with people I've never met.

Which one, if you've read it, actually stopped you?

A wide-angle cinematic shot of the Somerset Levels at dawn. Thick, low-hanging silver mist clings to dark, saturated peat soil and stagnant rhynes. In the distance, the sharp, ancient silhouette of a limestone ridge cuts through the hazy sky. The lighting is cold and ethereal, highlighting the contrast between the solid, unmoving rock and the ephemeral, drifting fog. Detailed textures of damp moss, cracked earth, and reeds shivering in a light breeze.

Ten days since launch. If Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry is half-read on a shelf, the most useful ninety seconds now is finishing it and leaving a rating on Amazon — even just the stars, no essay required.

#SomersetInVerse #BritishCountiesInVerse
A wide cinematic view of the Somerset Levels at dawn. Dense, low-lying river mist clings to the dark peat soil and stagnant rhynes. In the distance, the sharp, jagged silhouette of a limestone ridge rises against a pale, bruised purple sky. Wisps of dry moorland grass in the foreground are coated in heavy dew. The light is cold and silver, catching the ripples of a slow-moving water channel. The composition emphasizes the vast, flat expanse meeting the ancient, unyielding hills. High contrast between the dark earth and the ethereal morning fog, capturing a sense of ancient geological permanence against the fleeting atmosphere of the mist.

'Burrow Mump—Old English and dialect repeating the obvious: / a double registry that says hill hill to a flattened basin.' Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry, coming 3rd September.

#NaturePoetry #DeepTime
A solitary, steep emerald-green mound rising abruptly from the vast, horizontal expanse of the Somerset Levels. At the summit sits the roofless, weathered stone shell of an ancient chapel, its masonry textured by centuries of wind. Thick, low-lying river mist clings to the base of the hill, isolating it from the surrounding flat wetlands and drainage rhynes. The lighting is the heavy, golden amber of a late August dawn, casting long, sharp shadows across the damp grass and highlighting the geological weight of the land against the fleeting morning fog. High contrast between the permanent stone ruins and the shifting, ethereal atmosphere of the basin.

Seventeen days until Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry exists. Still no pre-order. Still nothing to click. Just the third of September, getting closer whether you're counting or not.

#SomersetInVerse #BritishCountiesInVerse
A wide-angle cinematic shot of the Somerset Levels at dawn. Thick, silver mist clings to the dark, water-filled rhynes that cut through the flat landscape. In the foreground, the rough, porous texture of damp peat and a single jagged fragment of red sandstone are visible. A solitary, gnarled willow tree stands as a dark silhouette against a cold, pale gold horizon. The atmosphere is heavy with humidity and the scent of ancient earth, capturing the tension between the solid ground and the encroaching water. High-contrast lighting with deep shadows and sharp, crystalline clarity in the atmospheric haze.

A vast expanse of the Somerset Levels at dawn. Thick, low-lying mist clings to the dark, peat-rich soil and stagnant drainage rhynes.

A sense of deep geological time and heavy, humid air. High-resolution cinematic photography, capturing the sharp interplay between the solid earth and the fleeting, ethereal morning light.

A wide-angle cinematic shot of the Somerset Levels at dawn. Thick, silver-grey river mist clings to the saturated, dark peat soil and stagnant rhynes. In the far distance, the sharp, jagged silhouette of a limestone ridge cuts through a bruised purple and cold amber sky. The foreground features the tactile, rough texture of damp reeds and the gnarled, moss-covered bark of an ancient pollard willow. The atmosphere is heavy and still, capturing the tension between the ancient, solid geology of the hills and the fleeting, ethereal nature of the morning fog. Focus on the contrast between the sharp shadows of the heights and the soft, blurred edges of the waterlogged lowlands.

Peak Rudd...
The drains and rhynes of the Somerset levels are packed with Rudd at the moment - there are dense shoals of fish in even the smallest channels.
It's a wonder to behold, if you take time to look.
A full larder for the piscivorous creatures of Avalon.
