Hi all
*(Three adventurous poets hooked up on the zoom link -worked well. I think
Kerryn listened in to the last bit. We rambled over various topics from
virus, to poetry to roast chicken.)*
I think that first week was a resounding success. Really interesting poems,
and also great that people put so much effort into constructive feedback.
Thank you.
*So here's week 2's prompt.*
Have a listen to this podcast. It's only 8 minutes. He reads the poem,
discusses it and then reads it again. Well worth listening to the whole
thing. It's a brilliant poem and a beautiful podcast.

Some of us are on our own, some of us with a partner, some of us with a
family, but all of us more "on our own" than usual. So the subject is: what
have you had to learn on your own in the past, or are you now learning from
being in some sort of isolation?
If nothing comes to you, write about whatever is coming to you even if it's
just a haiku or a draft.
