No luck winning yet this year, but it's always good (if terrifying) fun. You Should Visit Sometime In that moment, you toppled regimes. In one instant, you overthrew dictatorships, Undermined governments, And lysed terrorist cells. Memories grow like vines before they ... http://ladychaos.nook.com.au/2008/04/02/poem-you-should-visit-sometime/ Joy, oh, jolly joy! I'm now a published poet! :D After making it into the top 10 of a Poetry Idol event, they published my poem Thirst in the Paradise Anthology (which is strange because everyone I know who's read Thirst didn't like it, and I thought the other, better poem ... http://ladychaos.nook.com.au/2008/02/06/were-published-poets/ No Pulse You told me I should be ashamed Caught in your headlights, I believed You said the light and love I'd given I had lost, So I should grieve.

I performed 2 short poems, "Ceiling" and "Thirst", Nick did a funny, punchy poem called "A Disclaimer", Nebs did what I think is ... http://ladychaos.nook.com.au/2007/12/05/poetry-idol-success/ ... But Nook must have decided that it wasn't worth the main page, and should only appear on my Nook page.

My family goes up to Kyneton every year for a week of relaxing. It's a lovely town, complete with the Country Cob bakery - the best bakery of all time.
