Interrupt the automatic. Step closer and feel the raw texture of grass, the softness of petals, the warmth of sunlit stone.

A 21-day online immersion in living poetically.
Not a course in how to write poems, but an invitation to become more available to the poems already taking place around you — the morning light on the wall, the crow on the roof, the patch of sun travelling across the floor.
The Practice
Each day is a small rehearsal for another way of being alive.
2
Meet plants, animals, landscapes and other people as presences rather than scenery — and rediscover the vivid life of things usually overlooked.
A Field Guide to the Overlooked
Ordinary presences, met differently.
Each prompt returns you to the senses: a short daily practice of wonder, catalogued the way a naturalist catalogues what they love.
I.
Morning LightLux matutina
| Sense | Sight |
| Duration | 5 minutes |
The first poem of the day arrives before language. Watch where the light lands and how it moves — and let it move you before you name it.
II.
FloweringPrimula & kin
| Sense | Sight · Touch |
| Duration | 10 minutes |
There is a timeless elegance in the way flowers unfold — soft lines, delicate colour, graceful shape. Sit with a single one long enough to be met back.
III.
GrassPoaceae
| Sense | Touch · Sound |
| Duration | 15 minutes |
The most undervalued of the overlooked. Lie down, let the world reorganise around your stillness, and listen to what the wind is already writing.
For three weeks, poetry becomes less something you write and more something you enter.
A small daily practice of wonder.
A return to the senses.
A rehearsal for another way of being alive.
