One of those "stock cube" poems that you wrote earlier but hope you can add tomatoes to make it work. So for #betweenthesheets in #poemsabout hope it does. This particular Friday is a moonhowler and I'm flat out. I'll be back to comment later! @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

Weeping when you miss the @frazzledlit.bsky.social subs call? We close at 5pm TONIGHT. Still open for all.

It’s a small thing in the scheme of things, but the 1 issue of my magazine that published after the election has sold fewer copies & had fewer (free) downloads than any of our previous issues & our current sub window has been the quietest yet by a lot.

If you feel you should be on this, it's an oversight that you're not. All active actual children's poets are welcome. Just tricky finding everyone. Give me a shout.
