Painting Pictures
A Poem On Creation
I know this is another villanelle, but I wanted to create a poem about the interconnectedness of art in our work, and this is inspired by the art of my wonderful Muse, who always inspires me.
I've loved Lissie since I first heard heard her, and I first heard this Fleetwood Mac cover in a pub in Shrewsbury, and it has a perfect sentiment.

Dialogue Poetry Challenge Winners
Hannah Moore is a first-time grand prize winner with her dialogue poem, On Receipt of Bad News. This was a poem that genuinely engaged both with the exchange of our prompt, but also focussed on the way poetic rhythms of language could support the writer's conceit. It felt very truthful, too, the way one speaker wishes to ignore the news and focus on practicalities; there was a quiet heartbreak, here. Well done.

Painting pictures with words is such a lovely sentiment. Well done.
I so love this poem itβs very different from your usual poetry β₯οΈ
Oooo, exotic herbs and exquisite fruits, I loved that. Beautiful Villanelle!
This one speaks to me on so many levels. I work with words, threads, paints, and so on, so it feels almost custom made for me. Thank you, Mike. π₯°
