Still it's still a great thing to see.<br /><br />Hi Gina, It's a great line isn't it, To be honest I only found it via Twitter, which is a shame, as it should have a greater presence.<br /><br />HI Simon,you liking that line would be appropriate. altho not sure how exotic I am as a Cycling Dad who just happens to loves words.@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-83758675354961617562011-06-05T18:51:29.056+01:002011-06-05T18:51:29.056+01:00Really like the line about 'exotic tweeters...Really like the line about 'exotic tweeters'Simon Quickehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025461850031335840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-17513005504225356012011-06-05T02:44:18.449+01:002011-06-05T02:44:18.449+01:00I have never heard of The Giffin Poetry Prize.
