1. When I look up again, the children are still sitting round a table doing a poetry writing workshop. (Tunbridge Wells Poetry Festival is still going on this week)
2. 'I can't do poetry, I'm no good at English.'
I remember an editor once telling me that if I found something interesting, other people would, too. So I say, 'Just write down something you saw and thought was interesting.'
She thinks for a moment and writes a rhyming couplet about her dog's coat.
3. There is a bright green grasshopper in the hair of the woman sitting in front of me.
