Mrs Merchant shared this fantastic poem written by Fruitbats on a social media platform and not only received praise from published poet Philip Gross who wrote 'A kaleidoscopic poem - all those bright glimpses swirling around each other, like a flock of birds... Fantastic!' but also had the poem retweeted by Pie Corbett a well known and published poet, storyteller and lead educator of teachers. Well done! I am nowhere near as famous but I think it is amazing and I love the second verse.
