It’s National Poem in Your Pocket Day.....
Tentatively
I reach into my pocket.
Gingerly
My fingers explore.
Expectantly
Hoping for poetic stuff;
Surprisingly,
All I find is crumbs and fluff!
😳
A selection of poems which I write for the sheer fun of it and to make sense of things. The Great Alien Cake Off, my debut children's book won an Independent Publishers Book Award 2020 in the category picture books for Under 7's.
