Fantastic piece by Philip Terry. Read it and hear the sound of a snake eating a large egg and other deeloights. Not too late for #StPatricksDay I hope.

Great to chat poetry with dialectwriters Juliette Morton ~ a volta in the sonnet that is half term.

The marvellous Sophie Herxheimer says she is charmed! Or rather she WAS in Jan'23 when she wrote this. But it's only now come to my attention!Thank you Sophie, it's a little book that seems to mind its own business and quietly keeps going in the background. sophieherxheimer.com/blog-posts/som…
