#Quintessence - A previously #unreleased #poem about #life, the #universe and #everything! Lots of #Chaos, #beauty and #space!

Thanks to #NASA, #ESA, #CSA and #JWST for providing the perfect #Image! So fitting! https://t.co/6rSpnaNfwp

Today is all about #Luck, and with #WickedSpirits touching on superstition, it seemed only right to share Seven Years Bad Luck, a poem by our @Curating4Change trainee @KarlAntMercer.

@wldiscipline Can I get in on this?

[Mercer's Poems @MercersPoems]

A #NewPoem - A #Poem inspired by my trip into an #Ancient #woodland. A lot of #nature and #Natural imagery, then! As you'd expect.

#Enjoy! https://t.co/SjYowsUsub

#1 #Insect I've seen! The ruby-tailed #wasp. Spreading the #wasplove, these #insect #species encapsulate the #diversity, #beauty & #complexity of #invertebrate #life.

Our #2 #insect just dropped! It's the Thick-legged #flower #beetle! Surely one of the most #charming #species? I love them, anyway! And with no explanation why! #Insectweek #Insectweek22 #Insects #Nature #Wildlife #Entomology https://t.co/ZuUbQ0UIlH

The #3 #Insect I've seen in the #UK is the #Cinnabar #Moth. Fabulously #stylish things, #gorgeous chubby tiger striped #caterpillars. #Moths are often less well regarded than #butterflies. The cinnabar shows this wrong! #InsectWeek22 #InsectWeek #Nature https://t.co/hbW57HgRox

[Mercer's Poems @MercersPoems]

The #4 #Insect I've seen - The #rose #chafer #beetle (Cetonia aurata). One of the most #brilliant, #beautiful #insects you can see in the #UK. #InsectWeek #InsectWeek22 #Entomology #Nature #Wildlife #Britain #coleoptera https://t.co/3FIieaEkkW

[Mercer's Poems @MercersPoems]

#5 is in! The tawny mining #bee - One of the #UK's most #striking and #beautiful #bees. A valuable #pollinator of our #spring #flowers & #plants and the females are a #gorgeous #red #colour. #InsectWeek #InsectWeek22 #Nature #Wildlife #Entomology #insects https://t.co/8Y90rQyqu8

[Mercer's Poems @MercersPoems]

A new series for #InsectWeek #InsectWeek22 as I take a look at some of the favourite #insects I've seen on my #invertebrate spotting walks and share my #love and #appreciation of them with you! #Nature #Wildlife #Photography #Bugs #Entomology #wasplove https://t.co/xqtEmnHNm8

A #NewPoem just dropped. Very short #poem. https://t.co/UODVq0CUGR

#WaspLove

Wasps are pretty,
wasp are great.
So why is it
wasps you hate?

Wasps eat pests
and pollinate.
So why is it
wasps you hate?

Wasps teach much
of social states.
So why is it
wasps you hate?

Wasps need love,
Help. Don't be late.
Ask why is it
wasps you hate.

Finally written about the grass #snake. The #UK's #longest snake species, a good #study in #evolution and how we #classify #species and our #relationships with #snakes. #Nature #Wildlife https://t.co/SZs3PZk9t7

“Poets are often abused because of this rather than their own mistake:
Your mind’s extreme gullibility or its sheer simplicity.”

et eo plectuntur poetae quam suo vitio saepius
ductabilitate animi nimia vestra aut perperitudine. #Accius

A rework of my thread from earlier on #Bias in #Conservation.

There are a few additions, other things I neglected earlier, a few examples etc. https://t.co/ecftNQfUON

[Mercer's Poems @MercersPoems]

A look at one of the #UK's most #beautiful #reptiles, the #shy & #timid #adder. Our only #venomous #snake. #Nature #Wildlife https://t.co/981kt3I2Ll

[Mercer's Poems @MercersPoems]

A #new #poem in #Sonnet form (not much one for structure, forgive any errors in metre!)

Lots of #nature, #flowers, #decay, #romance, #love - dare I say a bit #horny and #erotic!?

Anyway, hope you enjoy. https://t.co/8gs9ansHCN

[Mercer's Poems @MercersPoems]

A #New #Poem, with #nature imagery and such. https://t.co/fe7ordpUnk
