It was an honour to meet Queen Camilla and share our mutual love of poetry & Robert Burns at the #Edinburgh900 celebration at Edinburgh Castle. We gifted a limited edition print of βAe Fond Kissβ (Farewell to Nancy).
Sir Alexander McCall Smith dedicated a new poem, βNine Hundred Yearsβ, for the special occasion.

Scottish Green Party committing further electoral suicide. As if ejection from govt precipitated by Cass denialism insufficient they now seek to nail their sex-denialist women-hating fanaticism to every mast in land. I can see a strong case for unlawful GC & sex discrimination.

Thank you, as ever, to everyone who visited, read, listened and shared. Without such a devoted, growing audience, @iambapoet would just be a lot of talented poets talking into the void.

On the evening before a new wave of @iambapoet contributors is announced, it's become customary to tweet a teaser image showing all 15 poets. So with wave fifteen's big reveal happening tomorrow, here's your sneak peek.
(And yes, you can call out names if you know who's who.)

"The sea starts here".
Very apt wording on this French drain. Easy to forget that even in the middle of an inland city stuff going down a drain can pollute our coasts.
