There are a lot of fine poems in "in vitro", as evidenced by the number of them that have been posted as Tuesday Poems, but that's the one that really popped out for me. (Hmmm, is "popped out", meaning "stood out", a term I learned from "Project Runway"?)<br /><br />The interesting thing for me is that, when I was young, Oamaru was regarded as a byword for provincial conservatism in literary circles due to its treatment of Janet Frame, whereas now, the town specialises in the cutting-edge and bizarre, such as proclaiming itself the <a href="http://steampunkoamaru.co.nz/" rel="nofollow">steampunk capital of New Zealand</a>.Tim Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856414700019368658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264914780516321436.post-65629446674488563952011-06-22T08:39:49.503+12:002011-06-22T08:39:49.503+12:00Fine poem - wonderful ending!Fine poem - wonderful ending!Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264914780516321436.post-56514064429129947112011-06-21T19:28:32.766+12:002011-06-21T19:28:32.766+12:00A fine choice of poem for us, thanks Tim.

I would like to know if it falls into the realm of speculative poetry? - trying to educate myself!
