Veiled in anonymity,

hidden from the world to see,

living out my life I’m never known.

 

Feeling that I don’t belong;

you all sing a different song,

quietly I slip on by unseen.

 

As the moon its teardrops cry,

each a star lights up the sky,

as it hears my heartbreak every night.

 

One day though I will belong,

you will hear my siren’s song,

ring throughout the universe unbound.

 

Until then I’m here to stay,

writing with my words I play,

poets sybarite will haunt my heart.

Just to let everyone know – my woman flu has finally cleared up! I just thought I’d share this silly poem for fun – thank you for all the well wishes 🙂

 

 

 

A poet with a head cold

is not so good to see

fuelled by Olbas and by Vicks

tissues to fell a tree

 

Cannot think of words to write

has lost their sense of meter

rhymes won’t work and sPeLing’s gone

it could be writ much neater

 

My brain’s contracted that’s 4 sure

and poems just turn out grotty

So I’ll just snuggle in my bed

and knock back ten hot toddies

Poetry Films.

We’ve been happy to have commissioned the making of almost 30 short films of Sheffield based poets reading their work. From last year’s project ’21 poets for Sheffield’ to this years ‘Distant Lands – The Steel Trail’, we’ll be playing the work of some of our local poets and a few other favourites as well. If you’d like to suggest some please post suggestions on the wall.

Writing Games

We’re going to be running an open running workshop throughout the day which people are encouraged to contribute too. From the collective story (write a line, pass it on) to more specific exercises, there will be space for you to pick up a pen and start writing.

Featured Guests.

We’re also going to be featuring a few of the leading poets from the local scene and a few from further afield.

Also if anyone would like to sell books/leave flyers for other projects there will be a table manned

Alexandra Carr-Malcolm, autumn, conkers, fall

Newborn conker

Chestnut gleam

White top hat

Shines autumn sheen

Boys delight

To wait for fall

Victors conqueror

Conquests enthrall

Oh that shimmer

Lasts but a day

Before they harden

For battles play
