As some as you know - and may have heard live on the radio - I was arrested at the end of last night's 90.1 Hope FM - Livewire Live. Wessex Police claim my poetic licence had expired, and I was no longer able to practise as a state-registered poet. I explained I was a Royal Poetry Society Padawan - sent by a legitimate agency - and that my Master, Grand Master C.W. Blackburn - Poetry would have arranged this renewal.

This is my one 'phone call'. Please Grand Master, come and bail me out. I am in a holding cell with a brace of exotic lady poets from The Parkstone Poets. They acknowledged not the authority of The Royal Poetry Society, and are currently free-versing. I fear my soul will become corrupted. Please Master - bail me out!

I could be transported for life is found gulty!

I've just had the agency on the phone. I've been booked as 'supply poet' for this week's 90.1 Hope FM - Livewire Live. Thank you to my Royal Poetry Society master, C.W. Blackburn ( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091641505336 ) for recommending me. I won't let you down, Grand Master!

More deets to follow, but I'm told Mr Tim Heywood ( https://www.facebook.com/tim.j.heywood ) has left a lesson plan for me to follow - and Glenda at the agency says Cockerill ( https://www.facebook.com/birdiecockerill ) can translate it from Cornish. 19:00 - 21:00 this Wednesday, 18th March on 90.1 Hope FM - Livewire Live.
