No, there is not a poem called ‘Via link’ at that link, but there is one called ‘The laws of cricket rewritten for the fairy world’ and one called ‘All the ships of the world’. I am obviously overwhelmingly worldly. The publication is Eureka Street.
I am very happy with the cricket poem, as it combines a couple of interests, namely, weird imaginary creatures and sport.
It was written a couple of months back, and is therefore not a feeble attempt to escape the true hideousness of the Ashes* by an escape into fantasy. But please, if you wish to read it that way, be my guest. Leave a comment at Eureka Street, if you feel that way inclined.
Magic!
The ships of the world poem is far angrier and political, although it does contain several puns. You have been warned.
Other Tuesday Poets may or may not be celebrating England’s victory in the Ashes. Some may not even follow cricket. Read the works of the other Tuesday Poets around the world by pressing here.
I’m going to watch some netball.
*That means the Ashes series for men in this post.

Thanks for pointing me to Eureka St & your poems, penelope. I shall head there ‘interfrastically.’
Wow, that souunds difficult Helen! Eureka Street carries quite a few interesting articles.
What a unique publication this is. A suitable venue for your own brand of wacky! 🙂
Thanks Helen!
How I wish I lived in fairy-land, as you do, Penelope! Yours is a much more interesting world. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Yes, Michele, although there is always realism flitting around too.
I am seriously thinking of calling my next book Fairies of Social Realism.
