It’s time for Mole Press to go back underground. @PoetryDayUK your minimalist acknowledgement has been noted. The avant-garde is rarely recognised in its lifetime. We leave you with Requiem for Mrs Wormington – if you are not moved to tears you are made of stone.

@QuentinBlakeHQ Sir Quentin, poor, neglected, pennyless Adrian Mole needs your help. His poems need your gifts. Please see Blossoms and tell @PoetryDayUK to rescind their cease and desist notices.

@FansofJWilson Ms Wilson, the day has come that Mole Press request your assistance in giving Adrian Mole has due. Please can you inform the powers that be in @PoetryDayUK that it is time the world had a proper poem featuring Daffodils.

[Adrian Mole @AdrianMole]

@PoetryDayUK You can’t suppress true genius. This is a seasonal poem to make Keats wish he’d never heard the ‘winnowing wind’ – Moon’s Last Quarter.

[Adrian Mole @AdrianMole]

Please, Mr Anthony Browne, please give misunderstood poet and neglected intellectual Adrian Mole a much needed boost on @PoetryDayUK. We share with you Oh Moscow Trams . . .

[Adrian Mole @AdrianMole]

@chrisriddell50 Thank you for all the pictures, Mr Riddell. If you ever have a moment, Adrian Mole's much neglected poetry is crying out for your talents and what better way to celebrate @PoetryDayUK than illustrating his domestic warning, The Tap.

Some say politics and poetry don’t made good bedfellows. Well at Mole Press our tortured poet Adrian begs to disagree. Here is his ode to a female Conservative Prime Minister. Ignore us at your peril @PoetryDayUK . . .

[Adrian Mole @AdrianMole]

This is for all children forced by their teachers to write a poem for @PoetryDayUK. You cannot create art chained to a desk! Here is The Future.

@MichaelRosenYes Mr Rosen, sir, we at Mole Press would be delighted if you could share this poem by young upstart Adrian Mole and tell @PoetryDayUK that roses do grown among weeds.

@malorieblackman Dear Ms Blackman, if you can spare some time between all your games of noughts and crosses, please read this poem from your contemporary but neglected poet Adrian Mole and let @PoetryDayUK know of this injustic (Untitled IX)

[Adrian Mole @AdrianMole]

@JosephACoelho Congratulations on your lecent laureating. Mole Press would like to invite you to share this tweet of Adrian Mole's compact, existentialst poem, The Discontented Tuna. And if you're in touch with @PoetryDayUK, please wave it under their sniffy noses.

[Adrian Mole @AdrianMole]

The theme for @PoetryDayUK this year is the environment and Mole Press have this resplendent offering from our resident poet A Mole – Daffodils.

[Adrian Mole @AdrianMole]

@CressidaCowell You tell us stories of dragons and wizards, but please tweet now of Moles – in fact, one Adrian Mole. This is Mole Press and here is an early work, The Tap . . . Probably too 'ordinary' to make the cut for @PoetryDayUK

[Adrian Mole @AdrianMole]

How about some poetry in motion, Mr Motion? (Apologies, couldn't help myself.) On behalf of our author, Mr Adrian Mole, Mole Press would like to share with you his ballad to a foreign land, Norway. Please share with those elitists @PoetryDayUK

[Adrian Mole @AdrianMole]

@PoetryDayUK You can’t ignore the Mole. What about a love poem – just ten words to melt your icy hearts. This is Untitled I.
