Thanks for you welcome Adrian.I think poetry is good and fundamental to healthy gums. I hope I have something to say about wildlife particularly. And what could be more poetic than a fox in the hen house? Or snails of the window sill, and allow me to introduce mould in the shower recess. There is so much wildlife going on around us that we need to take stock occasionally and weigh up the relationship. With out wilderness we are nothing and never have been. I'm especially keen on elephants.…

Because it is so bloody marvellous, I must share with you the winning ABPA entry for this year -
A Bushman’s Last Farewell© 2011 - Catherine Clarke
As a bushman I’ve been wandering for all my working life, and I never settled down with home and family, a wife.
