Today's poems respond to Colouring Outside the Lines. 'Summoning' by Gita Ralleigh - vibrant colours and the loss of them. 'LINES' by Julian Matthews highlights 'lines' in language. In 'paper chromatography', Jackie Taylor experiments with pigment. inksweatandtears.co.uk/colouring-outs…

Sue Moules' poem 'SURREAL SHEEP' is a reminder, like the postcard at its centre, of the need for whimsy in the midst of routine. inksweatandtears.co.uk/sue-moules-2/ #InkSweatandTears #Poetry #Submission #PostcardPoem

Krishh Biswal's 'Sanctum Without God' does not offer an ecstatic or romantic view of worship but instead grapples with the discipline of faith once façades have fallen away. Read it here: inksweatandtears.co.uk/krishh-biswal/ #InkSweatandTears #Poetry #Submission

If you grew up with long snow-filled winters, then Tamara Salih's poem 'Buried' may transport you back to that place of childhood building and imagination. This is a warm and inviting poem with luminous details. inksweatandtears.co.uk/tamara-salih/ #InkSweatandTears #Poetry #SnowPoem

Alicia Byrne Keane's poem is one where the science of an event adds to its mystery. In fact, everything described in relation to ghost apples becomes an enigma, like frozen water formed around an absence. @keane_byrne inksweatandtears.co.uk/aliciabyrnekea… #InkSweatandTears #GhostApple
