I am excited that my poem Blue Colours Wearing Children is in the spring flight of The Dirigible Balloon. It was one of my most fun poems to write in a workshop. Thanks, @northernjim.bsky.social

High Hopes Sara’s a striker Megyn’s midfield Diti’s a dream on defense Gloria’s great When she’s guarding the goal (Some say she’s got a sixth sense) Heather hits headers Priya can pass Our lineup is deep as a trench Me, I just hope I’ll get into the game Right now I’m warming the bench

Here's one of my two poems that made the trip in the latest flight of Dirigible Balloon. Thanks to @northernjim.bsky.social for the incredible work he does curating this amazing poetry resource.

This week, I revisited a few old manuscripts, the ones I wish had sold, but didn't.

One I still love.
One I can fix. I'm a better writer now. I have an idea.
Most: thank you very much. You taught me a lot. Back in the drawer you go.
Back to work!

Screenshot of the poem The Green Submarine by Ian Brownlie, from the Dirigible Balloon website. Poem text: The Green Submarine Captain Kim dived down deep into the ocean, In her green submarine called ‘The Gherkin in Motion’. Weaving past whales with the help of Mate Stu, Who steered the sub like a foot guides a shoe. The Gherkin sped on ‘til it reached the sea bed. From a map in her lap, Captain Kim calmly read: “At the Great Anchor, turn sharply north-west.” Mate Stu said “Aye aye!” and pressed on with their quest. Past anglerfish, tuna and even a shark, They gunned for a tunnel disguised by the dark. The sub reappeared in a shower of light, As before them appeared a fabled delight. The green submarine was a craft full of glee: A glittering city submerged by the sea! Their eyes bulged out wide like a great Praying Mantis. Captain Kim and Mate Stu had discovered Atlantis!

Taking another trip on the Dirigible Balloon with the (decidedly not sky-bound) Green Submarine!
