Lets set some rules - easy ones to start with
Each verse must have 4 lines and lets suggest the first line has 14 syllables--then mix it up a bit just to add a degree of difficulty so that we run with 14/12/14/12 - OK with that? Rhyming pattern to follow on from the first verse - so if whoever writes the first verse goes with Abab then the rest of us like well trained sheep follow nicely through the gate - no stragglers or we will have the send the dogs after you.
Now Heather will want to know the Dogs names - so we have Lucy, Sally, Jodie and Fly.
Set of prompts - Bush Poetry right? How's about?? Try to weave them in as we go along and I don't mean everyone use them - if one suits what you are writing then go for it - we don't want six verses all with a set of longyards beneath the cypress ridge out the back of beyond with Kangaroos grazing on Mother Earth.

Cypress Ridge

back of beyond
Native animals (free choice)
Mother Earth
It is 1pm Saturday - if there isn't anything up here by 6pm Saturday - (come on 5hours - that's plenty of time) I'll put the 1st verse up.
Whoever kicks it off can choose a title - Right oh folks - get po'in lets see who is first out of the gate..... now Lucy, Sally - come behind, come behind.
Cheers
Maureen
PS Zondrae - where is it written that Bush Poetry has to have 4 lines - have never seen that and we have plenty (had plenty) that had more than 4 lines per verse
