I can't remember when the idea first came about, but Freckle and Hes have been closely involved throughout. It must be due in February / March. I'm sure it'll say on another part of the forum.

A quick conversation with the editor of the FRA magazine followed and we've kindly been granted two pages of the next edition for a selection of everyone's poems. We tried to include one from every contributor and have a lovely long list of poets...

One Off Poet
Old Whippet
Mossdog
Hes
Harry H Howgill
Freckle
One Off Poet
Turbo Tom
Derby Tup
X-Runner
Ian Dark Peak
Merrylegs
Neil Wootton
Stevie

We hope that none of you mind being included in our choice of favourites.

We kept people's forum names which we thought was in the spirit of things. Each one is credited to the author.

An easy choice to include - definately a favourite.

[QUOTE=freckle;298590][LEFT]Some poetry books are really special, I have a lovely edition of W B Yeats early love poems, it is just one of those books where it is a pleasure to slowly leaf through each page and enjoy both the poems, the illustrations and the aesthetic look of the book itself as well the texture..QUOTE]

That sounds like a lovely book. I have a gorgeous collection of Pablo Neruda's Odes that has graphite illustrations in it and is hardbound with cloth. I treasure it.

Mr Turbo :D
I like the formality! You deserve full credit for your poetry. I love it. Can't wait for your birthday one.

I'll not be racing tomorrow, but good luck to you.
