The start of a new set of three for #NaPoWriMo2021, and I’m exploring the idea of small people in dark, subterranean places. The poetry is found lines/words collaged from New Poems 1960 (Cronin, Silken and Tiller). Not quite a cento, though.

Day 20 of NaPoWriMo and I wanted to make a printable thing – as a ‘thank-you’ too for all the lovely people who have liked and commented on my poems so far this April. Only 10 more poems to go!

Enchanted #1

Interlude: Fold
