The Crossing Place

[r.magnay]

- although it describes something that happened to me.....the mystery deepens

..you nearly drowned in toothpaste as a kid?....

I like the way it is written Heather, and the use of the words...it is a bit spooky though!..

[Heather]

"spooky" is good Ross. I was hoping someone would sense a bit of mystery.

Thanks Robyn. I read another poem set out like this and thought I'd have a go.

[Neville Briggs]

Good Heather. You're doing some good stuff lately.

[Bob Pacey]

Please define Stuff Neville.

ps. I like your little poem, Heather

[Neville Briggs]

Bob the OED says...Stuff; matter, material, articles, activities....

[Heather]

The "stuff" of dreams Bobbity boo.

I thought of the water as fresh and cold from the mountain - I'm talking about the McAlister River in Gippsland.
So, fresh--- like mints are cool and fresh. Hey, I'm a poet, I can make it up as I go if I want to!

Thanks Marty mooo....

[Mal McLean]
