I have been busy. As well as the poems about Cornwall I have been working on I have started a couple of Autumnal pieces and two poems about the Painter Robert Lenkeiwicz who I knew in Plymouth and who I once modelled for. Today's blog though is to tell you about the latest writing competition from Graffiti magazine and Editor Rona Laycock. Graffiti is a great local mag. Filled with good poetry and prose by people you may well know if you live in Gloucestershire. I like to enter the competitions Rona sets. They are always stimulating, plus she doesn't charge a silly amount to enter. I've put the details below. Have a go. I am.
