@memoryofash @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Thank you

@csheppardwrites @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday You guide the reader by scent and texture rather than direction, and that choice feels enchanted. Your images layer patiently until the door feels inevitable, as if belonging is found by attention, not certainty.

Hello @MatthewMCSmith and @TopTweetTuesday. Here is my take on a childrens tale...Goldilocks and the Three Bears

@SaraswatiNagpal @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Thank you

@csheppardwrites @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday So many gorgeous images, Carol! What an interesting approach… 👏

@helen_laycock @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith This tale always breaks my heart

I chose the tragic tale of The Little Matchgirl for my @TopTweetTuesday imagist poem based on a children's story. Huge thanks, as always, to @MatthewMCSmith for a mammoth run as host, and for keeping this wonderful #poetry platform thriving! #poetrycommunity #poetrychallenge

@hool415 @MatthewMCSmith @TopTweetTuesday Oh dear, poor Jack

Hullo @MatthewMCSmith and to @TopTweetTuesday Re writing a children’s tale or nursery rhyme? Hmmm. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin…

@justrandomwords @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Cracking first line

For this week’s @TopTweetTuesday, a short poem inspired by traditional Scottish folk tale of “The Laird of Morphie and the Kelpie.” Thanks to @MatthewMCSmith for hosting..

@aperrincycling @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Love the title

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!

@SaraswatiNagpal @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Love the description of hair

Fairytale narrative, imagistic, 2 new words: here’s my 64 word version of Rapunzel in response to @TopTweetTuesday challenge. New words: silk-spill & wonder-witch. As ever, thanks to @MatthewMCSmith for hosting and to poetry community for reading 🤍

Here is my winter poem for @TopTweetTuesday and our generous host @MatthewMCSmith #poetrycommunity #winterpoems

@csheppardwrites @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith We must always carry a rope Carol just in case of cavernous pits!😱😃👍

@gphydeauthor @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Thanks

@csheppardwrites @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Loving the central image of that pit and those slippery snakey words.
