We interrupt the regularly scheduled TS Eliot Prize weekend to bring you my first foray into the faraway land of inspirational Facebook pictures. This one is an original, made with my own fair hand out of stuff I found lying around, and dedicated to my dear darling brother. (It’s a long story, but he had just said sisters were like different flowers out of the same garden, so I think fair is fair.) (Hmm, there could be a future in it – but maybe I’m too heavily influenced by Donne…)
Just scroll down to the next post if you want to read about the TSE’s, and don’t care that my photoshop skills have just been described as ‘amazballs’.

Dear Katy
Shouldn’t ‘reflect’ be ‘reflects’ in the third stanza? Sweet poem. Is it one of yours?
Best wishes from Simon
Simon it’s an inspirational image with a pink unicorn. It’s the feelings that matter, not the verb declension. And yes, it’s very sweet, isn’t it? Unfortunately it didn’t succeed in making my brother throw up. It may have too much reality in it, and also he’s a nurse; he can take anything.
I thought it must have come from a greetings card.
Dennis, THANK you! And I realised only last night that of course what it needed was a bad apostrophe. I was just too tired when I did it to think of putting on in. Next time…
My little bony pony
The typo pinkness obscure to read
Like Manet in his latent garden
Demure
But to be a loved brother is a wonderful thing
No comma fetish can mask its bling
Opera Chav
