- Check out the guidance on the new @TopTweetTuesday - a platform repurposed towards #imagist and imagistic #poetry less than 20 lines.
- There’ll be no @TopTweetTuesday this week. As a mark of respect to our friend @KariFlickinger, who passed away recently - we’re taking a pause to remember her and read her work. If you’d like to know more about Kari, please click on the link 🕊 ❤️ 🌹 blackboughpoetry.com/kari-flickinger
- Another memorable example of precise, imagistic #poetry with subtle shifts by @DeeringRachel that was a finalist in #BBmicro and published in the @blackboughpoems #Christmas & #winter edition. 💎
- A break for the summer for @TopTweetTuesday - back in September 😎 💤 🏖 We’ve had incredible involvement from writers and readers in 2023 and now it’s time to speed up with a lot of projects and get refreshed. Gratitude to all the hosts & contributors. See you in September 🎸 🍹

- We’re having a summer break from @TopTweetTuesday ~ contest results to finalise, editions to get done with @blackboughpoems & personal writing. Thx so much for making it a special event each week. Enjoy your holidays and see you in September 🍹📚 ☀️ ❤️ 🛥 🖊 😎
GIF - This week’s host is emerging #poet @IvorDaniel who lives between Cheltenham and Gloucester. Ivor is a massive fan of @Cheltpoetfest and attends most of their online events. Give it up for Ivor 👏… and Cheltenham Poetry fest (which we all love ❤️). Get your imagistic poem ready!
- 🎉 💃 We’ve broken 1,000 followers on the new, imagist @TopTweetTuesday platform. The support and involvement is intense & beautiful. How we like #poetry. To celebrate, drop an unpublished imagistic poem, 20 lines or less below and we’ll publish at least 3 of them this year 🎈🎊
GIF - This week’s @TopTweetTuesday host - another exciting writer! 🔥 Catherine Redford @C_Redford_ is a poet, editor, researcher, and tutor from the West Midlands. She’s an editor at @DustmagPoetry and is a member of the @TheEmmaPress Birmingham Editorial Reading Group.
- Next week’s challenge is good! Write a poem that includes an original term of venery— invented by you! A name used for groups of animals (a murder of crows, a pride of lions, etc). 80 words max, a real focus on imagery, metaphor, a weird simile! Our host - @kip_knott
