I enjoyed your poem and selection for the giveaway. Count me in! I have scribbled for my poetry muse for YEARS and last September discovered the fun of 'drabbles' (100-word microfiction). I find myself extending it to non-fiction subjects with a twist as a tribute to Michael Dransfield (Australia's prolific drug poet who I studied at university in the late 1980s). I realised it is 40 years this month since his death AND that he was the referenced in a the TV mini-series Paper Giants:the Birth of Cleo. I suppose it is my way of blogging (look for 'Alexandra J Cornwell - Poet' and 'Byron Short Fiction 'Drabble' Writers' on facebook). I finally got around to joining a writer's group last week and did my first readers & writers festival in Bellingen 2 weeks ago (also attended and entered my first Poetry Slam event). Coincidentally, I am also an amateur genealogist and occasionally dip into the National Library of Australia's TROVE database for their scanned newspaper articles and other material for inspiration.
