The rain dance has worked It's now beginning to rain Continue to dance.

It is brighter now The dark rain clouds have moved on Down towards the south.
The rains not falling Soon to run out of water Let's do the rain dance.
I wish you were here When I am on holiday If I'm on my own.
On my holidays Nothing to write home about Nobody at home.
@imcmillan.bsky.social @r4TheVerb Keats was born 169 years before the day I got married. A great start to The Verb. A great romantic poet, just like myself. Autumn, "A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever". Many great descriptions of autumn.
On my way to the museum. It's bacon butty day and the launch of Duncan Gawthorpe's new book. It will be well worth a read. We are open today from 10.00am to 2.00pm.
Tie of the day. Soon be time to be making my way to the museum.
Had a busy day Museum pictures to change Very good display.
What better way to celebrate #NationalPoetryDay than with a poem about our mysterious Veiled Lady. Thanks to @kbrookes42.bsky.social for this poem about his favourite piece of art on display at The Cooper Gallery
Do you know there are 2 letters in the alphabet that contain 5 letters of their own.
Meeting here tonight To Sing-along-a Luke, with Ian McMillan.
@imcmillan.bsky.social What a great opening 3 poems, very moving. Then I loved "where he was from" as the Yorkshire's were rising. And then Joelle Taylor how good can it get.
Not on duty at the museum today but I will be back next week. Out for an early lunch today.
The Verb takes over The papers, the morning stroll Bluesky left naked.
It's going to rain That's my early prediction The haiku forecast.
Had a great day, recording poetry, museum meeting and then dinner. How much better can it get.
Been recording some new poems for broadcasting next Thursday, for International Poetry Day. Look out for them.
@imcmillan.bsky.social @R4theverb Loved the programme so much I wrote an haiku during the broadcast. It was about the pond.
The kingfisher dives. Fishes move so very fast The circles ensue.
Autumn is the start Of the cold weather ahead Time to wrap up warm.
All those memories Looking back into the past. We pick the best ones.
Soon be time to head to the museum. We are open today 10.00am to 2.00pm. Tie of the day.
Out walking In the rain Not a care In the world Umbrella Unfurled Not causing Me pain. Heading For home To dry out Indoors The rain It still pours Now reading My tome.
