ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

As I said in another post it is great to not only get a report on these events but piccies as well.


Thanks Heather and Sue and congratulations to all the winners, Just a suggestion could you if possible put names to all the people in the winners pic a lot there I don't know.


Cheers Bob.

Producing your winning poem is fun Heather. Think of it like childbirth ( I have to use my imagination here ) there's all those long months of discomfort and inconvenience , a time of intense pain and agony, but in the end, the result is worth the ordeal and produces something of great worth.

That's how it is, isn't it, it is isn't it ??????

Childbirth fun! Now there's a thought Neville and it's here that it becomes apparent that you are a MAN!!

Bob I don't know the names of some of the people in the group photo so didn't want to write some and not others. Sorry.

I'll go back and put names on the others though where I can.

Heather
