Thank you! ❤️

Thanks Philippa! Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you!

Nice! What was the painting that inspired the poem? And definitely; when I was younger I was too terrified to share anything I wrote because I didn’t know spaces like Open Book existed. The sessions have been a massive boost to my writing and confidence.

That’s cool! Tbh I think most of my poems started life in an Open Book session 😋

Yay congratulations! I love the ending; the quiet snuffing of the light is beautiful and heart-breaking.

Amazing! Congratulations Adele! 🎉

Congratulations James! So well deserved - it’s a brilliant piece x

This is brilliant Adele! Love the evocative ending.

This is brilliant Lisa! Loved the images of ‘a batik tapestry of filth’ and the smoke tasting of raisins
