The memories
 |
| Some members use aliases |
Whispers of secrets,
Hidden in Sonnets,
Haiku’s and other poetry,
Tales of spiders,
and nightmares of falling.
down sliding stairs,
Bush tales
about Australia
and our coloured history,
Challenges to
torrent us
when eyes closed,
Unlocking the secrets of
Rhythm and rhyme,
Writing a poem per day,
Gum tress,
Lettuce leaves
Garden dogs sneaking inside,
Left ears,
Cuts with Stiches,
Falls were recalled,
Poems about writing,
Fought off thoughts,
Of blank pages,
Cocky’s or cockies
On clotheslines,
Screeching all night,
Camping stories,
The car journeys,
And the fish that got away,
The Cats and dogs,
frogs croaking in pipes,
and our resident slug,
Kat chased mouse,
who someone tried to
set up with Gerry,
Cartwheels and,
Cupcakes watched,
Up down,
While Clair made sure,
she had her say,
under Oldwriter’s eye,
The debates came too,
What was prose and
what was prose poetry,
The role of punctuation,
capitalisation, modern
verses traditions of the bush.
These are a sample,
of the memories we hold,
from Mop # 12
