In my mind, poems start with flashes of images, just like this.
Dreamlike State Studio have done a beautiful job of bringing my words to life.

@levenness People are going to do what they're going to do; I can't control everything. HOWEVER, if someone is reading my book illegally, I at least want them to go and review it on as many different review platforms as possible. You gotta give me something!

It's been a while since I've written prose. This was inspired by a 15 minute writing exercise from @Soc_of_Authors and Maame Blue webinar on writing relationships: https://t.co/aHTwbeyNdu

@novaembiid @SpareChangePapi @JAYDANOTPINKETT Lol. We're you thinking of 'the elephant man', Joseph Merrick reincarnated!? 😂

@MssTeeHall111 @JAYDANOTPINKETT Why did you move? They could have sat behind you. You got there early so had first dibs on seats... Unless they had reserved seating?

The next time you ask for a hug... 😁 #poetry

@EliciaSamuels6 Love it!

A crazy caper for two siblings around their lively local market is set when Simone, age 17 takes Halima, age 6, to buy mum’s shopping. It should be easy to get a five-hand bunch of the greenest bananas, if only Halima could stop playing superheroes. #PitchJPPB24

Meet Willow. Willow loves to talk - especially at the completely wrong times! When the school holds a sponsored silence, nobody thinks Willow can do it. Can she prove them wrong? “Wordy Willow” is a story about determination and never giving up #PitchJPPB24

I am Limitless is a poem based PB to be read by children and parents alike to show them that they, too, are limitless! Contains rhyming affirmations to boost self esteem and self love and encourage positive self image. #PitchJPPB24

In Properly, everything is neat, proper, and child-free! That is, until children arrive with their giggles and muddy feet. Mizz Hoity Poity is horrified... but maybe a little mud and laughter isn’t so bad after all.

@hopefilledSarah And you too! Thank you :)

Big sis, Sab, and little sis, Shash, spit bedtime bars about their favourite prehistoric beasts in their hotly-anticipated post lights-out, nightly, face-off. First up on the afro-comb mic: Sab as Stegosaurus Vs. Shash as T-Rex. But will mum or dad catch them awake?! #PitchJPPB24

A lonely girl & her mum, an astronaut dad & his lost son. Can their dog & cat, blasting off to the moon on a rainbow hot air balloon reunite them? "Our Dog and Our Neighbour's Cat" is an gripping story of hope, love & the power of belief that comes with a fun song. #PitchJPPB24

[Sharmay Mitchell @sharmaymitchell]

Inspired by my stop motion short: Dino Superstars, but I'd like to turn it into a sibling pair freestyle rap battle, pitting their favourite things against each other! #PitchJPPB24
