Mike Walsh's Blog
 I am a 60 year old retired Consulting Engineer late of the Northern Territory Australia. I've been lurking around Poetry Sites for about 6 years now, sometimes known as Aunty Myrtle. This pseudonym came about after reading "A Letter To My Aunt Discussing The Correct approach To Modern Poetry" - by Dylan Thomas which ends;
"Take courage, aunt, and send your stuff
To Geoffrey Grigson with my luff,
And may I yet live to admire
How well your poems light the fire."
Look forward to reading friends old and new here. Keep warm.
