I read a poem written by iam4u and quite agreed with him, we need to show encouragement to our new poets ( and to the "oldies" too) So once again, I am posting this.... Here's to your poetic inspirations !

Words, the tools that brought them all together
Sharing tomes and verses relentlessly
A variation of souls,they flock like birds of a feather.
We've had poems that made us laugh and cry and some that have left us with a sigh
Whimsical fantasies have graced these pages
There are so many wonderful writers whose
offerings has had us all enthralled for ages
A journey to the milky way via some of our poets pens
Even held stars in our hands,played with childhood memories and made friends
Their imaginations have made us take steps into the unknown
And we've watched as the talents of others have grown
They've reached across culture's great divide
by throwing out an open invitation for all to step inside
We've shared their world and inner thoughts
So much happiness their rhymes have brought
We have had the pleasure to share so freely
The writings of our poets, shared so merrily
To name a single person would be unfair
But I do know we all have our favourites,I do declare
Isn't it wonderfuly to see words that appeal to all?
Some have spoken of winter,summer spring and fall
Others have written of loves' first stirring
There's even been a few that have told of passion........very daring
Marriages, births and yes, some have spoken of death
And still their words keep coming,there is still a ton to come, yet
A toast as well to all the readers of this forum
and to others who have posted quotes of decorum
Yes, I do believe in giving credit where it is due
So now I make use of the opportunity and this I will do
To the men and women who pen words of enjoyment
Here's to your talents,your words have been well spent.



Oh my lovely friend
Once again
wielding her pen
In grace....

Thank you Bonny ~ :heart:

My God, that is awful news for those involved, I hope the fire services and others have managed to evacuate residents from the area.

To where, Bonny?

In Victoria, they have an Early evacuation, or stay and defend policy...

rural towns are really on their own initially... and people have to be smart...
what most don't realise is the weather last saturday, and the week before that was never before recorded 46 plus degrees celcius... and 120 km winds... on drought affected state forests....

no-one could have predicted what happened... no-one could have done a damn thing differently.

This sounds grave, I saw on the news the United States has sent fire fighters and experts from Indonesia has also arrived. I hope this helps (praying for them all the while)
