Hi Anna, Strange to see this crop back to the top of the list after so long - but I just read it for the first time and had the following two URLs: http://www.dublinwriters.org/ - A writer's workshop http://www.traditional-poetry.org/ - a site for traditional poetry (duh!) A friend of mine (Patrick Walsh) contributes regularly.

Fry mah hide!” (I kinda got a giggle out of that gratuitious “Fry mah hide”) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Wonderful Web Sites #1619 05/26/2000 6:15 PM Joined: May 2000 Posts: 112 Auckland, New Zealand David108 member David108 member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 112 Auckland, New Zealand Here's the site that brought me to AWAD - a veritable banquet for verbivores! http://www.wolinskyweb.com/word.htm Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Wonderful Web Sites #1620 05/26/2000 6:56 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky David, This one looks so good, I didn't even take time to finish the list before adding it to my favorites.
