If you’re struggling to write a poem for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, take heart: even the great poets had to start somewhere.
Selected Early Writings of the Poets   I the roses are red and all the violets are blue oh look, a haiku - Basho II Roses are red, unlike those daffs, I wander lonely as a giraffe cloud. - William Wordsworth   III Look – the roses are red! They make my heart sing! They fill me with hope – Like a feathery thing! - Emily Dickinson IV ROSES ARE … NO! WHAT HAVE I DONE? I MUST HAVE LEFT MY CAPS LOCK ON - ee cummings V Roses are dead, see how they droop. All of us die: life’s only truth. - Philip Larkin VI The roses had gone (unlike my bunion) so got this instead – here, have an onion. - Carol Ann Duffy Brian Bilston

Well I remembered it's Wednesday and 8pm, but while I'm just getting used to BlueSky not actively participating in #LTHEchat tonight, but it's lovely to see it happening here and I hope to join in when not under the weather!

Reminder of how little we understand about the #biodiversity of a whole world threatened by #DeepSeaMining.

No. Just no

Scientists first collected a pig butt worm from the dark ocean depths near Monterey, California. The size of marbles, pigbutts are a near complete mystery. Officially described in 2007, scientists aren’t even sure if the pigbutt form is an adult, or just a very very awkward adolescent stage.

Today’s poem is called ‘The Importance of the Oxford Comma’.
The Importance of the Oxford Comma   Owing to ambiguities caused by its omission, the Oxford comma was the subject of a petition raised by serious serialists keen to ensure its mandatory use in lists of three things or more.   And what a response! From across every nation, the signatures poured in beyond all expectation – from the investment bankers, robbers and thieves, to the politicians, self-servers and exponents of sleaze.   There were the Daily Mail readers, the clowns and deluded; the climate change deniers, the daft and the stupid; the morally bankrupt, Donald Trump and Piers Morgan; Elon Musk, a Bond villain and a trafficker of organs;   plus the poets, the drug fiends and chronically poor – all supported this change to grammatical law. This formal petition was then presented in hope to Sir David Attenborough, the King and the Pope. Brian Bilston
