Welcome back to Pea Towers and a Happy new year to you all.
Do you have new year’s resolutions?
My lovely children have taken it upon themselves to set me two. Their challenge to me is that I should up my game and by the middle of the year I should have 5000 followers on

This podcast:
Traditionally in the first podcast of the year I read long form poetry and this time I thought I’d give it a twist. I’m going to give you four long form poems, all written by poets in the previous century and I’d like you to take write haiku and senryu inspired by them. It will be the prompt for March 2023.
