It was an honour to meet Queen Camilla and share our mutual love of poetry & Robert Burns at the #Edinburgh900 celebration at Edinburgh Castle. We gifted a limited edition print of “Ae Fond Kiss” (Farewell to Nancy).
Sir Alexander McCall Smith dedicated a new poem, “Nine Hundred Years”, for the special occasion.

Thank you @HippocratesInit - and for having me in Avilés. It was a fantastic symposium with so many new ideas and amazing poems, from the medical community and beyond, at a beautiful venue.
The local cider wasn’t bad, too 🙃 #poetryandmedicine #hippocratesprize #sagradafamilia
🌷What do we do when someone we cared for is taken away from us? When we can’t share life with them? @cdaventry addresses this tough topic with her poem 'Sagrada Familia', 1st prize winner in the Open Category #HippoCratesPoetryPrize.
RIP John Burnside: a kind man and a rare talent. I still read and re-read his wonderful sustained homage to poetry, #themusicoftime

Scottish Green Party committing further electoral suicide. As if ejection from govt precipitated by Cass denialism insufficient they now seek to nail their sex-denialist women-hating fanaticism to every mast in land. I can see a strong case for unlawful GC & sex discrimination.

Thank you, as ever, to everyone who visited, read, listened and shared. Without such a devoted, growing audience, @iambapoet would just be a lot of talented poets talking into the void.

his feet planted too near the saplings

the bird of heart in my feathery breast'
