Dunno,
I think we sorta bounced an idea into a poem with a random subject and like a hungry Barra took the bait and ran with an idea and chewed on it for a while to spit it out into the next verse.
And don't forget our poem needs tightning up a little bit. (my fault)
I first said to you. I didn't know whether Chudliegh Hall was a place, an individual, or the name of a police station in the LAPD. Ha Ha.
At WD we were trying to encourage members to write Australian poetry. Where, we had only one member, a kindergarten school teacher, bless her soul, that had a go.
I think if we had continued for another couple of weeks we, may have inducted a raw student into ABPA. We must return Maureen and finish the job. I'm sure, hopeful, would loosen-up a bit and join in the fun.Sure they say 'two heads are better than one' and 'too many cooks spoil the broth'. I think a dual effort or maybee three per poem is the max. Well, there again, in the case of WD, Maureen and I din't mind how many poets joined in.
Another point. A good title should produce a lot of ideas.
There is not much more I can say, except.,I have a lot of respect for the poets at ABPA you are all masters of the art and I'm sure you can turn your hand to a challenge in the literary sense and come out winners.
Regards,
JB
