ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Marty powerful words and I reckon close to the mark.

This is exactly the reason why i spend so much of my time or expend so many of my brain cells in memorising poems. I have lost count of the times where after a performance members of the audience have come up for a chat and say Wow thats great how I'm amazed at how you remember all that. It is all part of the WOW factor. This happened even last night where a couple sat at the back and slowly became involved in the performance and you guessed it they were the first to come up after and have a chat. Never heard bush poetry performed but I bet next time they see a show advertised they will be there boots and all.

Oh by the way re my previous post about my grandson. I met his new girlfriend yesterday and guess what she writes POETRY
Karma is a funny thing is it not.

let's just do what we do - do it well, and the results will take care of themselves.

Words of wisdom Marty. And the operative words " do it well " . Which takes a lot of hard slog, I'm not talking about memorising, but about putting in the hard yards to educate ourselves on what is good quality bush poetry.

( I'm still working on it, by the time I'm about 95 I might start to get the idea )

Better get on it nev not long left then.

Got called an old fart the other day.

Well I'd rather be an old fart then never been a fart at all.

Sorry Slim.
