We're prowling the catwalk this week with poems to have you struttin'
After we take sympathy on Keanu Reaves having his poem butchered by a simpleton, we take you into the world of fashion with Molly May O'Leary, the designated poet of the Dublin Independent Fashion Week, as she paints her words around the fabric/s of the capital.
We make a very short hop then to Christine Anne Foley, author of Bodies, fashionista and savage poet. We share one of her bangers this week about the reality of womanhood, you'll love it.
Like everyone else on TikTok, we see a ton of philosophical posts from something called 'Rumi'? What is it? Who is it? We wanted to find out. If you're reading this and thinking 'Wait, they don't know who Rumi is?' then yes, we have convinced you we are smarter than we are.
Inspired by last week's poem by Rachel Mulqueen, Ryan puts pen to paper and welcomes you into 'The Friend Zone'. Tea or Pinot, the choice is yours.
Our Agony Aunt this week forces her to channel her own Jennifer Paige with a problem all about having a 'crush'.
The Poetry's Dead Anthology will be available on Amazon from December 1st, so keep your eyes peeled.
