This poem was composed on a walk in Staffordshire during our family holiday and general area explore, I compose these poetry walks whilst walking for the medium of twitter.
Poem composed as tweets during our visit to Tamworth Castle during our quest to find out about Queen Aethelflaed and all things Anglo-Saxon - the castle contained much history from many time periods - here are the embedded tweets.
For a few years now I have been doing poetry walks where I take my phone or camera and write poems in tweet form as I take the photos, it started off with the phone before the head injury but has mainly been camera since due to the difficulty of tweeting and walking at the same time! I often turn these in picture poem/stories on Turquoise Monster and so on but that can take ages and I fear I loose some of the poems by just forgetting them so I've decided to embed the tweets on here as an interim 🙂
A few weeks ago I was at a talk where someone said that city landscapes were of no interest because they were devoid of nature and someone else countered that Gloucester was full of green and hidden spaces. I have been searching out things like the hidden art and history so I decided that I would also actively hunt out the green spaces.
Pretty much since I first got onto twitter I have been using it as a medium to compose, create and share poetry - recently they have increased the character count which I am finding it hard to adjust too! However this did make me think that I should probably extract/copy those poems off of twitter - this is going to be a little tricky as initially there were no hashtags and then the hashtags were not consistent and twitter is still not the most searchable of platforms though a hell of a lot better than Facebook for this sort of thing!
As it is National Poetry Writing Month this month I shall endeavour to share these little treasures that I extract from my twitter feed!
Here is the first and is part of another project that started over on my Patreon account - called the Neons.
