The Oscillating Octobells
who somersault in the sea
playing Over The Waves
to the Quivering Quaverfish

I am very excited to be taking part in the Edward Lear
celebrations. I would love to have had a
one-to-one, tête-à-tête, (or even tea and a ‘noddle conflabious chinwaggling’ as,
perhaps, Mr Lear might have put it…) with such a likeable, crazy, clever,
sensitive man.
I look forward to working with families on 2nd November where
Mr Lear’s ‘Land of Nonsense’ will be brought to life during the week in fun
activities such as the creation of a runcible world where nonsense botany,
limericks and ABC worlds join together with animals, birds, insects, fish and totally
made-up runcible spoonistic characters and creatures –just head for the
‘Ashmo-LEAR-ean’ and follow the signpost
to Runcible Rhymes. There will also be readings
and extracts from Lear’s works as well as newly created verse by me.
I will also be sharing my work (and a drawing or two) with visitors to
the gallery recitals on November 3rd.
I offer sessions to primary children on Creating and Writing Humorous
Poetry.
