| Leindra is a happy place, a simple life and an enchanted island to the east of somewhere that only the North Star can find. |
| I am currently working on a poetry book for the kiddlywinkles amongst us. It's called "A Bucket of Worms" and it is a collection of stuff that I like. It is a little bit off the wall but that's how I like it. It features stuff like "Maggots", "Lucky John", "Barbara E. Duck", "Snotty's in Trouble" and characters like "Snotty Ellis" and "Johnny Boyd" I am enjoying writing it and I hope you will enjoy reading it too. It's for all of us kids. There's a sample verse below for your amusement and critique. It is from one of the poems - called "Why?" - and it gives a flavour of the book's subject matter (but not too salty a flavour, I hope) |
| Why? Why can't we all pick our noses? Why does my mother object To me dragging things with my finger From nostrils that only she can inspect? Copyright Jack Portland 2001 |
