Maybe I'll rise to this on another day. And by the way, I can't imagine I'm the only one here who doesn't want you to keep your illustrated poetry travelogue to yourself.

That's really nice, thanks OW. If it is anywhere near ready by the first fell poets meet I may bring it along but I might have to have a whisky or two before I show it to anyone.

Honda in shed
No need of hospital bed
Glad, not sad
A rhyming haiku, making my own rules, that's poetry;)

I think it's pretty apparent that whisky will be rearing it's beautiful head when ever the fell poets gather. In fact I think history demands it - unless anyone has got enough laudnum, absynth or opium to share. No substitute for authenticity!

We can all share our opinions:D

The Demon Drink

Oh, thou demon Drink, thou poetic fell runner*;
Thou curse of society, and its greatest annoyer.
What hast thou done to society, let me think?
I answer thou hast caused the most of ills, thou demon Drink.

(first verse by William Topaz McGonagall)
* he may not have used these words
