I have published four poetry collections entitled 'Idle Thoughts', 'Reflections', 'Poetry On Tap' and 'Cherry on Top'.  See http://gigipagano.wixsite.com/mysite for my latest poetry collection “Cherry on Top” and other publications.
My verses can be described as eclectic, that is to say they go from the sublime to the ridiculous but, I hope, always entertaining.

Thanks for bringing to my attention the name of Bruce Dawe who was unfamiliar to me.  I shall endeavour to delve into his work. The only Australian I knew of and whose poetry appealed to me was Clive James.

The only other definition I found...

In my younger days my handwriting was good, even if I say so myself, but with the advent of technology I came to rely on word processing for my writing and emails for correspondence. All my fountain pens, including the Rotring that I used to draw...

You ask relevant but rhetorical questions, Rhiannon.
A good take on the Inspiration Point.

Congratulations to you, Turlough, for reaching the pinnacle with this well-executed fine poem, with lines as swirling as the river itself. Even though I am very interested in Greek mythology, into which I occasionally dip for literary references...
