This is not a passing shower…
This is a good long quiet soak
A dip into the rain channel
A play on dampness and moist knees
This is a forecast gone awry
An afternoon in
Plans rearranged
Love remade…

Can we PLEASE stop referring to the TS Eliot Award readings as the “Poetry Works Do”, it’s exclusionary, elitist, and ableist. Plenty of people who “count” do not attend, and the phrase undercuts them providing a livestream as it instantly makes this second class inclusion #UKPoetry #PoetsofBluesky
