In my mind, poems start with flashes of images, just like this.
Dreamlike State Studio have done a beautiful job of bringing my words to life.

Police are still appealing to the public to help find 41-year-old Leejay from Brent. Described as 5ft 8ins, medium build, afro hair, short beard. Last seen around 1700hrs, 10 Dec. His family are concerned as he has not been in touch.
It's been a while since I've written prose. This was inspired by a 15 minute writing exercise from @Soc_of_Authors and Maame Blue webinar on writing relationships: sharmaymitchell.com/about-th…

A crazy caper for two siblings around their lively local market is set when Simone, age 17 takes Halima, age 6, to buy mum’s shopping. It should be easy to get a five-hand bunch of the greenest bananas, if only Halima could stop playing superheroes. #PitchJPPB24

Meet Willow. Willow loves to talk - especially at the completely wrong times! When the school holds a sponsored silence, nobody thinks Willow can do it. Can she prove them wrong? “Wordy Willow” is a story about determination and never giving up #PitchJPPB24

I am Limitless is a poem based PB to be read by children and parents alike to show them that they, too, are limitless! Contains rhyming affirmations to boost self esteem and self love and encourage positive self image. #PitchJPPB24

In Properly, everything is neat, proper, and child-free! That is, until children arrive with their giggles and muddy feet. Mizz Hoity Poity is horrified... but maybe a little mud and laughter isn’t so bad after all.

A lonely girl & her mum, an astronaut dad & his lost son. Can their dog & cat, blasting off to the moon on a rainbow hot air balloon reunite them? "Our Dog and Our Neighbour's Cat" is an gripping story of hope, love & the power of belief that comes with a fun song. #PitchJPPB24
Big sis, Sab, and little sis, Shash, spit bedtime bars about their favourite prehistoric beasts in their hotly-anticipated post lights-out, nightly, face-off. First up on the afro-comb mic: Sab as Stegosaurus Vs. Shash as T-Rex. But will mum or dad catch them awake?! #PitchJPPB24
Inspired by my stop motion short: Dino Superstars, but I'd like to turn it into a sibling pair freestyle rap battle, pitting their favourite things against each other! #PitchJPPB24
