Share The Love — Issue 4
Warp 10! Engage
Four weeks and still going and that is down to you guys sitting, reading and enjoying other writers poetry. I’ve had quite a busy week in lockdown.
“Boldly going where I have never gone before”
Last week I put up a google form thingy asking how you wanted to move this forward. The results are now in. I asked if you wanted a Facebook page, you all said yes. I asked if you wanted a publication, you all said yes. So I created both.
The links are at the bottom of the page so why not join us on both. Before you do, Have a look at the poetry on here.
I have decided not to share my latest creations here. Mainly because this is about you and not me. If you wish to have a look at my work, click on my profile and you’ll be spoilt for choice.
