Tales Between the Ales

Once, a poetry night at @GunmakersBrum, exploring myths, folklore, and beyond. Time to write. #TalesBAles

Doors are very powerful things. Things are different on either side of them.

Stay warm, but stay cool, people.

Just take five,

Secret Santa has played a blinder this year, with this book from @susie_dent. Already flicking through it; it has got me thinking about the seeds of some ideas that might percolate into poems.

@sallyjenkinsuk Great colour for Docs and the flooring pattern suits them as well.

@Tales4All @CeriHoulbrook Just found this idea, Sharon. Love it! Merry Christmas.

[Tales Between the Ales @Tales_Ales]

What a lovely idea. In Iceland people exchange new and used books on Christmas Eve, an event called Jólabókaflóð (pronounced “yo-la-bok-a-flot”), or “Yule Book Flood.” The tradition began during World War II. Wishing you all the best for the festive season. #Jolabokaflod

The last of today's sunlight colouring the tops of trees near me earlier today.
Happy #NationalTreeWeek, folks. Trees are magical.

[Tales Between the Ales @Tales_Ales]

Early days with this idea. Lots to think through and sort out. But I'm working on something for next year. The train is pulling in. Alight @Commuterverse; arriving on a platform near you in 2024. #WESTMIDLANDS #poetry #spokenword

[Tales Between the Ales @Tales_Ales]

@sallyjenkinsuk Thanks, Sally. That's very kind. Hope you are enjoying writing and all the goodness that comes from it.

[Tales Between the Ales @Tales_Ales]

It has been awhile, but a return to writing is on the cards. A different mindset after the last few years.
Autumn 🍁. The domain of the fox.
No events planned for @Tales_Ales yet, but you just never know what the future holds. #Autumn #nature #poetry #Brum #suttoncoldfield

Pan greets those who wish to meet him. #nature #pan #seasons #suttoncoldfield #arcadia #classics

Arcadia at 4pm

A poem with hints from the Classics.

Pan, god of the hedgerows, land, commons, valleys....followed by Zeus, God of the skies....

Hello Folks, @Tales_Ales is on hold for the foreseeable future. I have loved doing these events but I’m focused on my family and career atm. Many thanks to @GunmakersBrum for the support it has shown for Tales over the years. It is really appreciated. Keep writing, people!

[Tales Between the Ales @Tales_Ales]

2020 has been a topsy turvy year, to say the least. The power of spoken word and poetry remains undiminished. @Tales_Ales will return, hopefully in 2021, but for now, it’ll be on hold. Thank you as always to @GunmakersBrum for its support of the night. Take care, folks.
