Yes indeed.

I think that the idea about the sea theme is very good. Isn't it evident that Australians are obsessed with the sea, where are all the Aussies on a summer weekend.
I remember that Will Moody once wrote a sea shanty in ye olde sea shanty style. It was fantastic but I think it is buried in the old defunct forum.

David may I use that poem A space in Time in the Magazine please?

Shelley please do send me some of your sonnets - I am working on the March edititon of the Mag and have only one poem to date to use from any of our Bush Poets.

Nudge nudge - hint hint people :lol:

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Yes, that's fine Maureen.

Arthur Green won a competition last year with Song of the Humpback Whales, and in 2011 Max Merckenschlager had Encounter With Whales and Zondrae won with The Whaleboat. They're all on the poetry page.

Cheers
David
