Congratulations David & Shelley

Post by Glenny Palmer » Tue Dec 16, 2014 9:48 am

I believe that congratulations are in order for David and Shelley for their success in the CJ Dennis Toolangi written awards. To David for winning...and to Shelley for taking out three (3) places! We sure have some real talent here on our little site. :D :D
The purpose of my life is to serve as a warning to others.

Thank you so much Glenny - really appreciate your commendation and encouragement. Receiving recognition in this prestigious competition was a real thrill for me - and I add my congratulations to David for his winning place with the outstanding "When a Tree Falls".

Cheers, Shelley

Thanks, Glenny. Next year is a big one for the Toolangi festival as it's the centenary of the publication of The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke...and that's an early plug for anyone who might be able to head down our way in October.

And, speaking of the Bloke, Shelley's second place in the Open section was for a ripper poem called The Poitry Competition, written in the idiosyncratic Dennis vernacular style, which is no easy thing to do well. The judge liked it so much he wrote that "...it could be mistaken for Dennis' own work." Maybe you might think about posting it, Shelley?

Cheers
David

Thank you David and Heather. David, I especially appreciate your quote of the judge's comment and the positive words of your own that you've added.

I have posted "The Poitry Competition" in ABPA Members' Poetry. My post contains a CHALLENGE to those reading it. Are you intrigued? Take a look ;)

Cheers, Shelley
