  2. For #WorldPoetryDay I set some rather lovely Palestinian poetry to music. If you are a musician, setting existing poetry to music is a great way to give yourself ideas for your own songs.🧵 Nothing Remains (Fadwa Tuqan) (English translation)

  8. No me dejes perder la visión
    de tus ojos esculpidos, ni el modo que tienes
    de poner en mi mejilla por la noche
    la rosa solitaria de tu aliento.

    one hot blue afternoon.
    He looked as skinny as a nail,
    as pale-skinned as the moon…

    People have to keep making it.
    The old stuff is no use
    Once it’s old…

  17. When I am reading
    the literature of my people
    I think,
    We have no Homer

    no poet as great as that,
    at all as great as that,
    in that way
    in that marvellous way…

  19. For World Poetry Day:  Inside I'm Screaming

    I don't write poetry as a rule, but I penned this six years ago when I was dealing with the loss of my dog. It helped me deal with my emotions.

  20. Poets need not be garlanded;
    the poet’s head
    should be innocent of the leaves of the sweet bay tree,
    twisted. All honour goes to poetry…

  21. a cop in a panda
    wound down his window & asked us
    what we had in our bags
    to which we shouted POETRY!
    in unison,
    lifted
    thick majestic photocopies
    and POEMS OF THIRTY YEARS
    by Edwin Morgan into the air
    as he looked on in horror
    and told us to be on our way
    and not to do it again…

  22. This was made for National Poetry Day in 2016, with the kind permission of Brian Bilston.

    Clearly if my most recent contribution to World Poetry Day is 10 years old I need to animate more poems.

    However, for now, have a silly cat gif.

  23. Tha i mar bharaille de sgadan saillte:
    chan eil agad ach do chròg
    a stobadh ann, agus dòrlach a thoirt a-mach,
    reamhar is tiugh leis a’ bhuntàta…

  24. It’s for weddings
    and funerals
    and reading on the train
    and for taking a person out of herself
    and bringing her back more sane…

  25. Happy #WorldPoetryDay. 🌿🪿Here's my favourite poem, written by Violet Jacob called Norlan Wind (The Wild Geese), written in 1915. The melody was written by Jim Reid.

    On 1 September 1863, novelist poet and fiction writer Violet Jacob was born in Montrose, where her family owned the house of Dun.

  26. нихуя уже не будет
    ни тебя и ни меня
    однохуйственное блядство
    равномерная хуйня

    кончится земля и воздух
    солнце пальмы и цветы
    жопы и хуи и пёзды
    умирай скорей и ты

    только старого поэта
    не задушит не заткнёт
    ни комета ни ракета
    ни пизда ни новый год

    ( Валерий Нугатов)

    Zur Safari auf Kanari
    fliegt die Katz mit Dackel-Air.
    Leider macht es wickel wackel,
    wenn man fliegt auf einem Dackel,
    gut zu fliegen fällt ihm schwer.
