Hi Everyone,
My poem for you today is for World Aids Day (yesterday) https://peskypoetry.co.uk/2019/12/01/my-red-ribbon/
But I would also like to make everyone aware of my poetry advent calendar. Every year I do a Christmas Countdown whcih you can follow here >>> https://peskypoetry.co.uk/category/poetry/christmas-countdown-2019/
One last piece of exciting news is… There are now branded things with PeskyPoetry’s logo. I won’t share the link here as this isn’t the page for advertising that stuff but you can check it out by going to one of yesterdays posts. I have branded teddies, hoodies and even some drinkware. How awesome is that?
Love to you all,
The Pesky Poet
