Virtual Launch! Spoogy :) (by sarah)

Today is the day! I will be adding extra bits to this post as the day goes on! But for those of you who do not know, today is the day that we launch the digital version of The Little Book of Spoogy Poetry - a free PDF you can download by clicking on the image below (until midnight on the 31st of October!). It is a series of ten halloween themed poems for little ones to enjoy with lots of fun illustrations 🙂

I will also be giving things away on my FaceBook event for the launch and my FaceBook Writers and Artists Page, I'll be on Twitter as Saffy and TheMonsterBlogs and on Google+ and probably LinkedIn too 🙂

The Little Book of Spoogy Poetry – The Digital Release (by sarah)

It has been long awaited and finally due to me and Alaric working like very busy bees - here it is!

The PDF for free download (until October the 31st midnight) of The Little Book of Spoogy Poetry. You asked for it - you got it - I will sort out donate buttons at some point. Enjoy 🙂

I will hold a virtual luanch party later in the month for it 🙂

Cheltenham Litrature Festival – All Star Slam (by sarah)

Today at 3:30 I will take part in the qualifier for this evening All Star Slam which is a poetry event at the Cheltenham Literature Festival. I've done one poetry slam before so am very nervous but I have more poems memorised and the ones I had memorised I can now say slower without fear of forgetting.

I will have my Celestial Montage poetry cards on me if any body wants to purchase any.

Anyway hoping to catch up with friends etc... I'm disappointed that this is the only day I can make it into the festival this year.

Poetry Day UK 2012 Stars (by sarah)

Stars glowing bright
In plasma
Painting the cosmos
Elements birthed

Stella death pangs
Condensing down
Forming the new
Glowing bright

Autumn Poem (by sarah)

I like Autumn best of all,
even if the Americans insist on calling it fall,
I grant you that is what the leaves tend to do,
it is true,
but it is a discription
And not the name of a season
lacking the proper diction.

I like Autumn,
an autumnal fall of leaves
if you please,
a cascade of warmth upon the ground,
colours of fire in leaf litter found,
the hedgehog snuffling,
fattening on worms
as he is hibernation bound.

Kite flying and fire lighting,
toating of marshmellows and golden tinged skies,
not too mention too many apple and blackberry pies.
Pumkins carved into silly faces
Fire works and three legged races
All the fruit gathered in
The christmas cake already baking in a tin
Frost delicate slivers upon the leaves
Gloves clumsy with keys
But in the house we go
For hot chocolate and spiced coco

I like autumn best of all
though the Americans call it fall.
