@GJGreenlea @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Thank you so much!

@ElizaFevWrites @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith “thornsteps” and “wisp-shushes”! “paddening of paws, hidden drag of claws” sky “heavy as a butcher’s satchel” Stunning made-up words and metaphors, Elizabeth! Marvelous, dramatic writing! You captured the suspense and the horror.

My contribution to this week's @TopTweetTuesday is a poem inspired by Red Riding Hood. Max 100 words. At least two made-up words. Metaphors! Thanks for the prompt @MatthewMCSmith

@helen_laycock @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Thanks Helen, I really appreciate your feedback!

@ElizaFevWrites @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith I love the attention to light in the opening stanza, Liz. The sounds are fab, especially ‘the paddening of leaves, the hidden drag of claws’, and how brilliant is that central simile!! 🐺

@teemgrin @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith That's so kind, thanks Tim.

@ElizaFevWrites @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith My first thought for this week’s challenge was red riding hood but now I’ve read this, I’m glad I chose something else(!). So much wonderful sound and imagery here - ‘ribboning her way’ 👌!

@PaulWritesPoems @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Thanks, Paul!

@ElizaFevWrites @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Great sounds and sensory details in this red riding hood piece 👏👏👏 love winding thornsteps 👏👏👏

@MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Thank you, Matt!

@ElizaFevWrites @TopTweetTuesday Ah, this is yet another poem that tackles the challenge head-on, bundling it like a boss into that butcher’s satchel. Imaginative flair right through Liz.

A great /challenging / tough prompt from @MatthewMCSmith for @TopTweetTuesday . I think I’ve hit the brief. 100words with 2 new ones at least. Gretel Talks To The Six O’Clock News Will catch up later. Have a great day all

‘The hounds in that house, stirred in the kish of the tremor’ Before the monster Grendel attacked the great hall. For @TopTweetTuesday and our theme - tales for children 👹 #norse #beowulf #myth

It’s a children’s story and fairy tale theme today on @TopTweetTuesday! I went for a sequel of sorts to The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Thanks @MatthewMCSmith for another great week! All the best everyone!

@aperrincycling @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Luscious images and a poignant tale. Loved this.

@AliceStainer @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Feathertongue and heatherspeech are glorious! I love this poem and all it conjures.

Happy New Year all you @TopTweetTuesday & indomitable editor & host @MatthewMCSmith. Here's to another spanking year of poetry. This is my attempt at the prompt. Perhaps not quite what you envisaged, Matt, but the best I could do in a short time. Look forward to reading others 💜

@eliot_north @TopTweetTuesday @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith 'leg twigged in two' is such a great line!

I've revisited an old poem, a local Valencian legend / fairytale for @TopTweetTuesday . Our village Beniarbeig is dominated by the mountain range of Segària, the outline of which looks like the upturned face of a man frozen by a siren's stare @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith

@costan07 @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Ah, this took me right back to reading as a kid! And a powerful message.

Afternoon all, here is my effort based on my mum reading to me “ Fantastic Mr Fox” Thanks to @MatthewMCSmith for a beautiful challenge on this @TopTweetTuesday and thank you for the little corner of magic on this platform. I’ll Be back back very late to read all. 🤍

@CarolynTho14847 @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith I love this! Full of humour and some wonderful internal rhyme.

Good morning, all. On Saturday mornings, I always enjoyed listening to Uncle Mac on ‘Children’s Favourites’ and my narrative is based on I story I love. It’s within the word limit and uses a number of made up words. Herewith, musical goats @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday

@CarolynTho14847 @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Thanks, Carolyn!

@ElizaFevWrites @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith ‘a rabid breath of meat’. Delicious!

@PaulDragonwolf1 @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Thank you!

@ElizaFevWrites @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith "whip shuses the gentle/paddening of paws." Gorgeous.
