It seems to be @PoetryDayUK more frequently than usual. Now that it's Perfectly Normal for BBC to share poems, whatever next? "Poems can take their place alongside the rest of the information" says @IMcMillan #BBCLocalPoets
Loved chatting to @IMcMillan @kerdonk and @LivTorc about their #BBCMakeADifference poems and lockdown silver linings for today's podcast
I've even had a go at writing my own #haiflu (with an unfortunate family snub)

An elephant evacuee, the meaning of “croggy” and “siles”, and the secret missions of baby eels: discover some some surprising "home truths" celebrated by our #BBCLocalPoets in these wonderful #poetry films https://t.co/FmGNDTGf4t
#BBCLocalPoets #NationalPoetryDay
You want the truth
Journalists supposed to hunt for proof

They don't serve time
They commit crime
Property destruction & livelihoods
People commiting suicide
Do you ask why
