I have taken up bridge and although I find it difficult, I enjoy playing it. We have quite an active club in Burnie that meets in the softball hall at Acton.
I think I’ve told you that I’m about to publish Songs Of Science, Songs Of Religion and now that I am at it, I have started Songs of Poetry and Songs Of Happiness. They are all publications of contemplative sonnets. I’ve also just finished and started the
re-write and editing of my novel, Escape, which is about two people contemplating suicide after they discover that they both have terminal cancer. The story is about a reason for living that the reader can undertake with them.
Listening to the ABC Classic FM, I heard of a survey of the most popular modern poet and it turned out to be the Chilean, Neruda. He’s not quite as heavy as Shakespare but just as rewarding.
In July we are holding the Burnie Gold Pot at the Burnie Library. Anyone can participate in the competition. We choose six judges from the audience who give each competitor a score out of 20 and the poet with the highest score gets the pot, which contains all the gold coins collected on the night. Please come and join us.
