Well done, Shelley and Terry! Thoroughly deserved, both of you. Something in the water out west at the moment, eh Terry?
Cheers

Re: Broken Ski Results
Thanks David
I'm thinking of buying a lotto ticket while the lucks in.
Oops almost forgot to congratulate Shelley and the other poets.

Re: Broken Ski Results
Thank you so much David and Terry! Yes, it was a thrill for me to pick up 2nd and HC.
I'm used to playing second fiddle to you David - now it appears I'm getting some practice at being "bridesmaid" to Terry as well
Cheers, Shelley

Thanks Shelley and huge congratulations to you and to all the winners especially Terry -- as you say, on a roll but not unexpected. His writing comes from sincerity. Good on you Terry.

Re: Broken Ski Results
Thanks Maureen
G/day Bob & thanks mate.
I've always liked that one myself.
Perhaps Tom's run out of poems?
Thanks Brenda
Like you as mentioned to Bob, my output has almost come to a standstill.
Except for the odd Homework poem, which I quite enjoy doing.
Perhaps I'll get my second wind soon and get moving again.
Mind you I always have gone in occasional bursts.
Cheers Terry

Re: Broken Ski Results
I can relate to that last comment about 'occasional bursts' Terry! Sincere congratulations to both you and Shelley - both of you being right up there twice is brilliant news!

Re: Broken Ski Results
Thanks Catherine - yes, a lovely surprise for me because I chose a couple of "different" poems for this competition. I like to try to submit a variety of verse rather than flood the field with the same ones - though I do sometimes have one poem in concurrent competitions, or use it again if it is unsuccessful.
I'm so pleased to hear you and Terry talk about your "bursts" of writing activity. I'm the same - sometimes I can be quite prolific, then I'll have a hiatus and wonder what is wrong with me!
It is interesting to talk to other writers about how and when they write. Some say they write better when they are burdened or unwell (an outlet of emotion, I guess). However I have to have a relatively uncluttered mind and be feeling well to write successfully - otherwise I just can't get my head around it. Also if I am beset by a thousand other jobs waiting to be done, I can't concentrate properly.
Then again, sometimes in the middle of the night the most fabulous ideas come to me. Sometimes I jot them down - but sometimes I don't, and in the morning all I remember is that I had a great idea ... nothing else
What was it Hemingway said? "There is nothing at all to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed!!"
Cheers, Shelley
