The bloody cops are bloody keen
To bloody keep it bloody clean
The bloody chief's a bloody swine
Who bloody draws a bloody line
At bloody fun and bloody games
The bloody kids he bloody blames
Are nowhere to be bloody found
Anywhere in chicken town
The bloody cops are bloody keen

Who bloody draws a bloody line
At bloody fun and bloody games
The bloody kids he bloody blames
Are nowhere to be bloody found
Anywhere in chicken town
The bloody scene is bloody sad
The bloody news is bloody bad
The bloody weed is bloody turf
The bloody speed is bloody surf
The bloody folks are bloody daft
Don't make me bloody laugh
It bloody hurts to look around
Everywhere in chicken town
The bloody news is bloody bad
The bloody weed is bloody turf
The bloody speed is bloody surf
The bloody folks are bloody daft
Don't make me bloody laugh
It bloody hurts to look around
Everywhere in chicken town
The bloody train is bloody late
You bloody wait you bloody wait
You're bloody lost and bloody found
Stuck in fucking chicken town
You bloody wait you bloody wait
You're bloody lost and bloody found
Stuck in fucking chicken town

Today is #NationalPoetryDay, but misogyny doesn’t take a day off so neither do we.
This poem is dedicated to .@SussexUni. May you be called to account for your failure to take a stand against misogyny.

invented personas to hide themselves in

In the UK, it's national poetry day,
The one day of the year when I can legally say,
I wrote some poems and put them in a book,
They're all here, if you want to take a look.

Some people say, "That's unbelievable"
About a thing that's quite achievable.
They mean they simply "can't imagine"
And that can be solved by taking action.

Numerous people over the years have asked, "Why read war poetry?" Would love to hear others' thoughts and/or poems that illustrate answers on #NationalPoetryDay. #warpoetry #poetry behindtheirlines.blogspot.com @sommecourt @PikeGrey1418 @felthamgirl @pptsapper @lit_cam @GreatWarGroup
Thanks to everyone who generously shared their ideas. I'm teaching a university course that has been exploring the question, and the responses will enrich our discussions.

#Invictus by #WilliamErnestHenley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

And why?
