Well done, Oakwood! So many imaginative ideas!
An editing challenge could be to spot any verbs which are used more than once, and find others to replace them.
You're all poets, and you can do anything! Great work!

Well done, Wolston! There were many more brilliant ideas whizzing around all day, too! An editing challenge could be to think about words you could use instead of 'have', and whether any lines might sound even better in a different place in the poem.
You're all poets, and you can do anything! Great work!

I am now (squeal!) a full-time poet. How lucky am I? I thought I’d do a mini ‘day in the life’ blog post today to show everyone just how wonderful a creative day can be, just floating away on a cloud of ideas, whilst nestled in a heavily-cushioned window seat, sipping hot tea and eating biccies…
Today I:
· Finished planning my outline for an Introduction to Writing Poetry session for a home education group.
· Emailed the home education group outline to my contact.
· Emailed a teacher about a school visit.
· Accepted (by email) an invitation to the launch of a new Arts Project I’m part of.
· Emailed another teacher about a school visit.
· Had a phone call with a teacher about a school visit.
· Posted a daft poem on Twitter to keep the algorithm ticking over (and because it makes me smile).
· Re-activated the sales on my adult creative writing group online bookings (postponed from last week).
· Wrote the foreword for a community poetry anthology I am co-editing.
· Read (but haven’t yet replied to) emails from: a WI asking if I can run a workshop for 30 people, a creative writing lecturer at the uni where I first studied writing (almost 30yrs ago), regarding a possible guest speaker spot, and a reply from the home education contact.
· Posted on socials about my rescheduled adult creative writing group.
· Wrote a blog piece.
What I did NOT do was write a poem, although I did read several, and listen to one. I DID have biscuits and cups of tea. Also made scones, did the school runs, and absolutely NO cleaning.
(I have always wanted a window seat to dream in.)
Happy reading, writing, and imagining,
Attie x
