@LisaFal No coasting.

@TopTweetTuesday Hands up who was coasting??

Observations of this week’s @TopTweetTuesday Good points: many imagistic, metaphorical and inventive poems. Excellent videos and film poems. To work on: Some poems that coasted. Some cliches, clotting rhetoric, some poems lacking usual edge. Go for it next week ☝️

@Glenn_A_Barker Got to keep the self imposed standard. Not too into being popular. About the poetry, innit, Glenn!

@TopTweetTuesday "Some poems that coasted. Some cliches, clotting rhetoric, some poems lacking usual edge." 😳
