Ruth O'Callaghan gave our Stanza group a wonderful workshop day in Estoril. For some of the group it was the first time they had ever done a proper workshop and we had a lot of fun. It was a long day, with hard work, but the energy was fabulous and Ruth worked magic.
I'm really happy to have had two poems chosen for And Other Poems which will be posted on Josephine Corcoran's poetry website on March 11th. I've also had a poem chosen to be published in Paper Swans Press new anthology, so I feel very lucky.
Yesterday I had a peek at Visual Verse's picture for February and it was very inspiring so I stuck to the rules and wrote a poem in an hour ... mind you, it's a very short one and could do with some editing, anyway it's up on their website which is great. I write very slowly so this was in record time for me. I love spring, as I have lots of energy and do a lot of writing. It may not be spring in England but it's certainly come to Portugal.
