The Tuesday Platform

I've only just come across some amazing poetry written by Rupi Kaur. I love her style; simple yet rich. Take a look at these two pieces and see what you think.

  2. Good morning from dreary Norfolk, Viv! Thank you for sharing the poems by Rupi Kaur - I love them too! I've posted a 'kind of' sonnet, which was inspired by this morning's lack of colour and the chill in the air.
