@timharford.ft.com might have us all reconsidering what we've said about WM... www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Oh much maligned bard,
Who oosed words like yon silvery Tay,
It might be on many of us,
To repent on what we say...
So let's tag @imcmillan.bsky.social and Chancellor Emeritus #LemnSissay
How do you do it? asked Night
How do you rise and shine?
I keep it simple, said Light
One day at a time
#LemnSissay
Let there be peace So frowns fly away like albatross And skeletons foxtrot from cupboards, So war correspondants become travel show presenters And magpies bring back lost property, Children, engagement rings, broken things. Let there be peace So storms can go out to sea to be Angry and return to me calm, So the broken can rise up and dance in the hospitals. Let the aged Ethiopian man in the grey block of flats Peer through his window and see Addis before him, So his thrilled outstretched arms become frames For his dreams. Let there be peace Let tears evaporate to form clouds, cleanse themselves And fall into reservoirs of drinking water. Let harsh memories burst into fireworks that melt In the dark pupils of a child’s eyes And disappear like shoals of silver darting fish, And let the waves reach the shore with a Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

REVIEW: Let the Light Pour In - Lemn Sissay ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m not normally a fan of poetry, but I love Sissay’s writing. I loved this compilation of beautiful life affirming & witty poems that he’s written over the past 10 years. Sissay’s narration is beautiful too.

Just finished this one. I love Sissay’s writing, and his narration is top notch. I loved the compilation of beautiful life affirming and witty poems - and I’m not normally a fan of poetry!

"Let there be peace
Let tears evaporate to form clouds, cleanse themselves
And fall into reservoirs of drinking water"
"There’s only one person in the world called #LemnSissay "

Pale cream background with bright yellow sun painted roughly in the centre. Lemn Sissay "let the light pour in" Morning Poems in black lettering over the sun.
I'm not really a poetry person, but I do like #LemnSissay. I have been reading one short poem each day in 2024.
