Hex lost the 1st option on hosting this event when s/he suggested to Littlemac and myself that pooetry (sic) corner should go elsewhere!

Well done contributors with having longer presentations than the small works-in-progress we started (jousting) with, during embryo days (left on Hex thread).

Good to see dalai involved also!!

I like the following sideways view by Rhinckle too!

A suggestion, by Ross Hinckley

(An empty stage, a small pool of light illuminates a figure who clasps hands, takes a deep breath & recites:)

When you come into this space
and you want to have your say,
have a dreamy look upon your face
while you're RHYMING ALL THE WAY.

(he pauses, sits cross legged on the floor, some barely audible and yet strangely resonant words emanate from his inner being :)

Or hai-ku. Someone
fu-ri-ous-ly typ-ing while
rocks warm in the sun.

(another pause, he leaps up into a litle jig, and cheerfully offers:)

a limerick's a good way to play
if you think you have something to say
you just have to fiddle
the bit in the middle
and then make a quick getaway...

(He capers ludicrously from the stage.)

(Silence.)

(House lights come up. There is no one there.)

eh eh eh very funny.

There's a couple of things wrong with that picture:
1 - The Dalai didn't have his hands covered in chalk
2 - He didn't seem to have benifited from protein shakes
3 - Cats don't wear shoes...

I CLIMB BECAUSE........ by Steph

I climb because I love it
I climb because it's great
I climb to push myself in ways
That no doubt own my fate.

The mental challenge is bizzar
The physical's an addiction
It's a way of life to be sure
We live through rock and friction

Stamina is needed
Guts can't be climbed without
Pain cannot be avoided
There's no room left for doubt.

Above all though is passion
All climbers would agree
We rule the world of the vertical
I CLIMB TO LIVE AND BREATHE!

すべてのWimmera の明白な驚くばかりで置かれる石は夜に美しい苦闘に私達追憶する味をつける。

Rock sitting on Wimmera Plain
Awesome in all seasons
The struggle beautiful we reminisce at night.

Are lymrics allowed?

There once was a noob from the coast
who always got first post
He refreshed with F5
the rush made him feel alive
then he'd leave the thread like a ghost

To Be Fun

I climbed at Nowra Saturday
A place called Thompsons Point
I clipped some friendly bomber rings
And got to know the joint



I gunned the Getz and made the dash
To the Bungles via Gil
And slogged the path to Balor Hut
With grog for us to swill



We made our plans an Alpine start
That Bastion Buttress line
Then backed off as the wind blew bad
To try another time



An easy trip back home was planned
With Nangar hills for finding
Those begging routes around that crag
'cept Rod and Claw's first timing

I made a lonely camp and slept
The wind and rain was beating
Then bashed around those worthy cliffs
And left 'til our next meeting



When weary bodies make it home
And all is said and done
I remember what a climber said
"It don't have to be fun, to be fun!"
