My only response to this is:

In order for me to write poetry that isn't political, I must listen to the birds

@lynndawardle5 @tsrenelle @davegerow @KrisHaddow @SunshineScot @gilleanmcd @RegretteRuane Goldmine!! I've currently only got one thing out (& it's been sat there saying "received" on submittable for over a year now 😭) so psyching myself up for a big round of submissions next week, this is perfect timing
