GEORGE & the GEORGETTE REUNION 08

Welcome to Childra's Folly, home of Linda's recently uploaded pictures from a lost weekend in Victoria with a quiver of poets who met at the Victoria School of Writing in 2005.

Apparently you can add pictures too, if you like (if you can figure out how). When you click on "see all 47 pictures" at the bottom of the photo section you get the option of viewing a slideshow. Let me know how all this works for you.

You can download them too, I believe.

THE OOTISCHENIA ORACLE

 Latest news: there is no new news. Except that in the time it took to set this up I could have written two glosas, a sestina and a couple of sonnets. Started them, anyway. Or a pantoum...my kingdom for a pantoum. About pantaloons. Okay, I'm out of here.
