I wrote this in solidarity with the great work of @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social in calling out violence against women and girls. Each year in Parliament, she names all the killed women and girls in the UK - this, and so much more. We owe her our deepest thanks...

I wrote 'Shooting War' about 5-year-old Omran Daqneesh in the Aleppo bombings in 2016 and still it happens... We are fellow beings, regards of borders or religion, when will our precious world stop warring itself?

Storm Bert thrashed and howled over the hills and fields and circled the house all night. I couldn't get Hughes' powerful poem 'Wind' out of my thoughts. I'm neither a bloke or from Yorkshire, but sometimes poems just have to be spoken aloud!🍃🌪️

A pigeon not a dipper this morning, but this poor soul stood motionless, shrouded in white...
The Dipper
Kathleen Jamie
It was winter, near freezing,
I'd walked through a forest of firs
when I saw issue out of the waterfall
a solitary bird...
