Happy Valentine’s Day from Doctor John Cooper Clarke ❤️

I Wanna Be Yours - “Quantifiably the world’s favourite British poem, full stop”

[𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖘 𝕽𝖔𝖘𝖘 @TheEastEndPoet]

Morning all...
This is my Valentine's poem for the Guvnor... and for all lovers for whom, perhaps, the first flush of youth has passed ... "What If"... xx

[VoicesTw @VoicesTw]

Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Whether you fill it with romance or take a jaded view, you'll find conversation & poems to reflect various aspects of it here. Two old codgers talking, mostly light-heartedly, about LURVE - or what they can remember of it.https://t.co/L4R8yY564x

[lemn sissay OBE FRSL @lemnsissay]

Moon falls houses wake
Streets stretch gardens yawn
The sun is a giant pancake
In a sugar and lemon dawn

Happy Valentine's Day! Sod the housework, why not drop in on Pam and Ivor as they reflect on the many aspects of lurve? https://t.co/3Rgs3P3A9U

Thank you so much to @lostballoonmag for nominating my story (and in such amazing company!) ❤️❤️❤️

This story was an idea for a year until a prompt @writers_hq FFO helped shake it loose! I knew immediately I was sending it to Lost Balloon 🎈

Down at the Little Common Poppy Club this afternoon talking with the developers of the Spindlewood Drive Development in my ward of St Marks. Fantastic opportunity to meet and discuss the plans with many local residents as well. #bexhill #development #Building

Is there a maths teacher or enthusiast out there who can give me the workings out on simplifying the fraction on the left to the fraction on the right? I can't do it!

I have a small fiction, 'Song of Gods' on page 20. It's in very good company with some stunning gems. Take a look and see.

What a knockout collection of flash, edited by @taniahershman! A must-read, and for such a good cause. I'm thrilled to be included, with my first ever prize winning story, from 2020.

[Sylvia Plath @PoetSylviaPlath]

Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline. You’ve got to go so far so fast in such a small space; you’ve got to burn away all the peripherals.

Here's something for everyone who has thought about giving up 🖤
