In January I am writing a poem a day as part of a fabulous month of poetry co-ordinated by Kathryn Apel. The posts need to be family friendly, and some of mine haven't turned out that way - so I thought I'd post here, with the warning that some of them might upset the little ones, or require some explanation (which is important, but nice to be prepared).
Here's the first - an erasure poem from the new words page of the Australian Oxford Dictionary (2004 ed.)
