Hi, I am a newbie at this, hence the time lag. I really liked your acrostic poem. I learned more about the male dominated society ! I would not have enough breath to play it anyway! It has great visual and ecoustic images. i loved all the rhyming words to the lines - clever job. I am a novice writer, but am interested in learning the different styles of poetry. I see your spirit is very strong,and wheelchairs cannot stop that.

    Oh, what a surprise to hear from a newbie. I have been writing on the site for over eight years now. Have learnt so much and made many friends overseas. You may like to read my latest story called The Glass House Mountains; chapter 16 of my little book of Stories of the Dreamtime. Bless you, keep writing. I will have a look at your writing. Kay XX

A very nicely written poem the words flow together line to line combining and forming the message of the poem for the reader. The artwork and background color completes the piece.

Hi Kay

A fabulous entry for the contest. You even managed rhyme as well. :)) An interesting topic and you have executed this poem in good form. I was wondering when you wrote "I" ... I thought woman were not permitted to play, then I read your notes. LOL
I hope you won't be in trouble for trying it. I enjoyed your poem very much and what a great Ambassador for Australia you are, to share some of your Aboriginal history with others from UpOver. I love the sound of the didgeridoo ... I always see visions of Corroborees, family and tribal unity.

"Didgeridoo, singing wood, wooed
Over thousands of years; magic calk
Oh, listen, aboriginal, musical food." -- I love this closing, especially the last line -- "musical food" ... creates strong emotions of history of the aboriginal people and how music and story-telling were/are great sustainables. I wish you the best of luck ... you may just have a winner here. Love and hugs - Lovi xoxox

    Thank you darling girl. Hadn't heard from you (thought you ate too much chocolate!) Just written a funny script, when I earn some funny money I will promote it! Take care and mum too. XX K.

    Hi lovely lady

    I've missed you ... seems so inadequate ... I'm a bit removed from the world of contact at the moment. Youngest son in crisis, which puts me there as well. You've touched on something I've been missing ... not enough chocolate may be the problem. :))) Looking forward to the script ... I know how hard it is to earn the dollars these days. Look after yourself and hugs for Toby. Lovi xoxo

Hi Kay. Lovely poetry of the didgeridoo played to test the faith of each aboriginal who believe in the force of its imitations and secretly (by women) test their skills . I finally get around to posting a poem and you forget me (The Candidate). Still coming slowly), sad to say. Good luck in the contest..

I love when you teach me something about Aboriginal culture. This instrument is so marvelous and it is created out of a tree branch. I am also in awe, animal sounds can be made with it.

A history lesson hidden in a poem. What a wonderful way to learn and be engaged with another culture and heritage. I could sense and feel the spiritual connection you have with your words. Loren

This is so very beautifully written. I love the soothing sounds of the didgeridoo. I know very little about it other than it is made from a special tree...is that true. Lovely work with this, I enjoyed it very much and spectacular photo to go with it too.

    Hello my friend, I have been without a computer for a month! I believe the 'didge' is cut from a red gum tree. Glad you dropped in and enjoyed. Love, Kay XX

An acrostic about a fascinating musical instrument. I'd like to hear one
live. On my laptop they sound like a jaw-harp. Excellent post, I opine.

Hi, Kay

I love the subject of your acrostic entry. You weave as much magic with your words as the didgeridoo does for the ears. Great lines here:

'Eerily imitating, animals, even stork
Realising natures' wonderful mood

Good luck with this excellent contest entry!

Hugs, Bev
I am in awe of spiritual talk...'
