Having too many poets here already that "flip my trolley" I thought I would submit for the contest a one-liner about Carrie Richards, someone you will rarely see here any more. She vanished and I think came here only once in all of last year. When I came to Soup ten years ago, Carrie was one of the leading poets whom I enjoyed. She can write in any form from free to traditional - a real talent. (A poem trhat was in a 2019 contest)

Where did the phrase "flip my trolley" originate? Just wondering...

I have not got a clue. That was the name of the previous contest this was entered into.

She was one of my first favorite writers when I joined PS. Her 'Wind Songs' one of my faves.
