#OddChallenge Number 3. Write a poem in the form of a recipe. As ever, I shall be selecting a handful of responses for a future edition of #60OddPoems but I'll only use stuff that has previously been posted on social media. Tag it, bag it, and send it to forensics. #poetry #prompts

It’s lovely Jim. I particularly like the idea of clotted time. As for its utility. The point of the exercise is in the first instance to get it out here and people reading and appreciating it. I’m sure that t is fulfilling that mission.

Hi Mike I love your #OddChallenge I’ve not participated before but wonder if my ‘How to Build an Octopus’ might fit the bill for your #poetry #prompt for #60OddPoems? Sorry it spilled over 2 shots.

Yes. Absolutely fabulous. Agreed. I’ve read some good books on them and even a novel last year! We have curled octopus on our shores. There was a story about a guy saving one down in Lothian. I drew one too! I have a friend who is totally freaked out by them.
