"What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;

I spent weeks sewing these elf hats and fairy wands (they jingle!) and it was so worth it, it was adorable and Robin was really happy.

Fantastic work all round though from the group today!
We wrote poems about boats, planes and worlds made out of the wind, inspired by @vaikuspg.bsky.social's poem "On the Boat Made of Wind."

Off to my under 12s creative writing group at the central library ☺️
Today we're writing about the wind, inspired by Poems the Wind Blew In by Karmelo C Iribarren translated by @lawrenceschimel.bsky.social from @theemmapress.bsky.social and Off Road to Everywhere by Philip Gross from Salt.
