Hello Everyone,
Sadly for us, and lucky for Debi's family, Debi has had to step away from the group for a while to care for her brother; a huge challenge to be a full-time carer and as you can imagine very time consuming.
I will do my best to honour her efforts with this group. To start with I have created this new roster thread for the only reason that I am unable to update posts made by Debi.
I look forward to continuing the creation of this poetry anthology and discussion with you all.
It is Saturday, (Sunday for me) once again and I believe we should be hearing from @GregM3 with this week's poem.
The week after - 05/16/2026 is still available if anyone would like to put their hand up for that? If not, it will be a moderator's choice :)
