[Jayne Osborn]

The trouble with this thread is that the poems we post here are visible to those who might condemn them as "published". . . What say you, Jayne?

Hey, folks, don't forget the title of this board: Drills & Amusements.

A thread such as this one is just for sharing a bit of fun; the poems aren't for critique, nor are they competition entries, so we can all feel free to post any poems about spring, be they our own or someone else's.

(But yes, I'd say hold back from posting work you may wish to submit to a publication, now or later.)

Now, where on earth is that poem I wrote when I first started out? . . . I'd completely forgotten about it till now - and it would be perfect for this thread. (Going off to search . . . but don't hold your breath It's buried somewhere, before I had a clue about saving work in ''folders''.)
