Looking forward to spring.

Well done Heather.

Yes Heather, well done.

[Maureen K Clifford]

WOW - Heather that is magical - well done - these lines are inspired I love them

The springtime with a fervent flush
now paints the dogwoods, perfect blush,

Thanks for introducing a new word to me. I'll be sure to utilise it at some stage.

Love the poem. Love spring (it's arrived already up here ) And the Ovens isn't a bad place.

Cheers, Marty

Lovely Heather. Has this poem had any success in competitions?

[Heather]

Thanks Ross, Neville and Maureen.

Aaah spring hey Marty! The wattles are just starting to bloom, the apple tree is budding - it's not far away now. If only it were a little bit warmer.

The Ovens is a nice place to dip your toes in the summer and pretty always. Thanks Matt.

Thanks Robyn. This poem received a commended in the Henry Lawson at Gulgong this year - but I think you knew that! I'm not going to enter it in anything else.

Speaking of which, I was fortunate enough to read Robyn's winning Henry Lawson (Gulgong) poem and stroke her Henry statuette recently! That's probably as close as I'll ever get to one! Couldn't think of a nicer person to have one of those little Henrys.

Hi Heather,

Yep that's a lovely poem.

Thanks Terry. You'd love the river and valley.
