I'm recording music later, in a freezing, leaking shed
I've got a broken rib and I've got a very broken head
At least I am not spending time wishing I was dead
But I'd give you both my feet if I could be tucked up in bed

Inspired by @darach.bsky.social to share two of my favourite poems for #nationalpoetryday
The second one is fiendishly hard to find online but is by Irish poet Gabriel Rosenstock.
Saw it years ago on the London Underground and was immediately captivated.

For all my English kin, happy #NationalPoetryDay. I'm reading The Men That Don't Fit In by #robertservice#poetry

The Men That Don't Fit In
There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. And each forgets, as he strips and runs With a brilliant, fitful pace, It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones Who win in the lifelong race.

My old secondary school’s motto was an excerpt from Kipling’s poem ‘If’. I’m sure the last line of that poem, ‘and-what is more, you’ll be a man, my son.’, was inspirational to the 50% of the school population who weren’t ‘sons’.

Get your controllers ready, kids! We're recommending Press Start to Play by Sam Gayton.
In this fast-paced, laugh-out-loud poetry adventure, Carnegie-nominated Gayton celebrates every kind of play—video games, board games, word games, even “feeling sad” games.

To accompany “Monopoly”, we’ve created a thoughtful and metaphor-driven resource designed to help pupils connect poetry with big ideas about growing up, memory, and the unpredictability of life.

Poetry isn’t just rhyme and rhythm - it’s also storytelling and reflection. During Create Week 2025, we explored this through monologue writing.

The most delightful session for #NationalPoetryDay today. I read a dozen poems, people read poems, and then we all wrote poems based on the @poetrydayuk.bsky.social writing prompt. Coffee, cakes, conversation and laughter all mixed in. I think I am definitely suited to this year's theme of 'Play'.
