Ok, All, for another fun @TopTweetTuesday challenge with the lovely @ITattum hosting (yay!), here is Parade, and thanks to @MatthewMCSmith for hanging in there 😉
I love beachcombing, and over the years have collected heart-shaped pebbles, but not one has been a proper heart.
Over the weekend, we walked along the beautiful Whistling Sands in Wales, and this has inspired my @TopTweetTuesday poem.
Thank you, @ITattum, for hosting!

This week's challenge for @TopTweetTuesday sped me back in time to the day I read the complete works of Sylvia Plath in one go and then wrote a long poem about a mirror. I have had fun today editing the poem to exactly 100 words.
For this week's theme on Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes I've attempted to grapple with the intersection of their lives: what happens when two worlds collide. It's intense.

‘As autumn furled the
summer’s blistered sails,
fine glass of holy gold,
the bottled song of nightingales.’
James McConachie, from
‘Consolamentum’.

'a crystal-white, elven world' ❄️
'vinyl crackle of carols' 🎶🎄
With the spirit of Christmas, a new poem 'A Christmas Bonus' for this week's @TopTweetTuesday and one of the themes, 'nostalgia'. 100 word limit was tough.
Look forward to reading/ hosting.
