Thank you all so much for your kind words & camaraderie. It doesn't matter how long you've been in this game, to win an award is always a great thrill. And to get the support of your fellow bards is even better.

I'll be back on deck soon. Seeyasall then.

Well done Glenny, congratulations, and the same to Carol Heuchan who, in your absence, did a fantastic job in reading your winning poem at Dunedoo after it was announced the winner.

Onya Glenny.

Wasn't as problematical as you thought it might be. A great poem.

All the best

Hi Glenny
That was a well -deserved win with a beautiful poem!!
I always believe we should not hide away the contentious issues - bring them out into the open.
Your poem is well written, and touches the heart as you read it - congratulations again!!

Goodonya Glenny, your take on the futility of war in this poem matches my feelings on the subject to the letter. I have even been playing around with a poem with similar sentiments. If only I could express it as well as you do. Well done and congratulations, a well deserved win, and it's so good to see a poem that tells it 'like it is' get the top prize, must be that magic touch of yours. :)

G'day Martyboy,Dave, Heather, Joe, Mal, IRene & Leonie..........You're all such good mates. Many thanks.

Thanks also Joe for the update on the Dunedoo show. I was hoping Carol would read out my poem....& then I found out she was the Judge. I thought it a brave judging decision....but then she's a pretty brave lady. I wished I could have been there for the awards but I was waxing lyrical for the gang at Condamine at the time.
My pen is itching to craft some poems from the incredible stories I picked up from the flood victims....as soon as I finish my bathroom. (His Lordship shot through to a new bunch needing help so it's me that's washing out the paint brushes in the dunny now. It actually works pretty good.)

Sad write Glenny but sadly mankind never seems to learn.

Good to catch up at Bundy recently.
