Robert Sheppard: Bad Idea XXII: To Folly published by Stride

A sequential run of six sonnets from Bad Idea is to appear on Stride on the 1,3,5,7,9,11 January 2020. They are all versions of Michael Drayton’s sonnets from his Idea. (In short, my ‘bad’ idea is Brexit.)

Please check here for the latest: https://stridemagazine.blogspot.com/

‘Bad Idea’ XXII: To Folly: State of the Union Address’ is (perhaps) a Christmas poem: ‘Theresa May wasn’t born yesterday, but re-born’, we are told.

It's here.

When all six have been posted I shall post a single post on Pages on 13th January to guide readers directly to them all.
