The poetry of Wilfred Owen
jeremycorbyn.bsky.social Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social · 1d
Today I attended a moving Remembrance Sunday event at Manor Gardens in Islington North.

I read “Anthem For Doomed Youth” by Wilfred Owen.

In memory of all those who have been killed in war, we must strive for a world of peace that treats all human life with equal worth.

Hello #poetrycommunity @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk This is my slim offering for todays #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors thanks as always to reader and sharers I’ll be popping in and out as time allows. Looking forward to your contributions.

#poetry #poems
A poem by Debbie Ross entitled Shut Out Or Shut In Body text as follows In my dreams there is locked door after locked door, down a never ending corridor. I don't know what it means, I rarely remember dreams, but I remember the feeling of panic, of not being able to get through to get to you.

Forest gossip.
A visual for a thing way back. I’ve forgotten what exactly, but the trees haven’t. They know EVERYTHING.

I really like the look of blue under-pencil. Almost a shame to remove it.
Scan of original ink linework with blue pencil visible underneath. The image is of a wolf and a dog growling at each other, with an elephant smashing through a line of Roman soldiers - the cover to the forthcoming comic Pets Tell Tales: Ancient Rome

“The Night Patrol”

A solitary cat makes her way along a narrow, winding path…

Available as a giclée art print in my Etsy shop!

“The Night Patrol” *giclée art print Deep inside a deserted old English park very late at night, a solitary cat makes her way along a narrow, winding path. The walkway meanders through dark shadows, past bright lamplight, overgrown, untrimmed hedges and lofty drooping trees. She is on patrol of her realm. She’s looking for anything suspicious, unfamiliar or out of place. Every shadow, movement and sound holds a new mystery. She sees and hears things we never could.

Caw, caw, #KidLitArtPostcard day! I’m an illustrator by profession working toward authoring. I love drawing animal characters, wildlife and children. Traditional art plus digital. Looking for PB, MG, chapter books, novels, and representation. dpalen@fmgirl.com #kidlitart #kidlitartpostcard #ravens
5 very smart ravens having a picnic with autumn scenery. Smartly dressed, they are sitting on pumpkins and eating worms, corn, and a pear. Other food is on the picnic blanket. One is making a list and another is cawing while sitting on a cornstalk. A scarecrow is in the background.
