Please send Reg a little poem or a short lyric, a couplet or a haiku. We need to undo the offence and hurt inflicted on immigrants and refugees in this country that has been caused by terrible words written and spoken in the last few days. Reg is asking people to help him replace them with beautiful, supportive and welcoming words. The aim is to gather a thousand short poems that show how elegant and graceful the English language can be rather than how harsh and brutal. Reg wants people who arrive here from all over the world to know how our language can be generous and warm rather than mean and vicious, and how we can use words to make people feel welcome instead of like unwanted vermin.
