As of yesterday I am an ex of X, so to celebrate here's a poem that is Xtremely careful not to mention a once-popular social media site. I have called it, quite simply: X. And Y not?

Link to poem on the Dirigible Balloon in alt txt. Why not buy a copy of Sky Surfing while you're there?
X by Ian Brownlie (audio available at: https://dirigibleballoon.org/poem/X-Brownlie) An X is handy now and then. X marks the spot, It stands for ten. X seals a letter with a kiss, Or marks a value that you miss. X means death if drawn on eyes, But numerals it multiplies. X tells you that the answer’s wrong And shows who features on a song. X is the axis on a chart. X on ballots can impart The power to build or take apart When placed there with two strokes of pen. An X is handy now and then.

A treat to hear Amanda Dalton read recently from her collection 'Fantastic Voyage'. This is an excerpt from her poem 'Magic' in which she/the voice is referring to her father #poetry
Excerpt from 'Magic' by Amanda Dalton from her collection 'Fantastic Voyage'. It reads: I saw him once not an apparition more a waking dream at the zoo in the house of butterflies and I could hardly see his old grey jacket for the trembling antennae and the wings banded orange blues all fluttering the disappearing man the man with wings in his eyes the remarkable enchanted butterflies.
