: I'm sure Rob won't mind if you post it in his thread. If you can
: remember it.

: There seems to be an interest in poetry here. Maybe there should be
: a new sub directory, "Poetry", then the philistines
: can ignore it while the refined and genteel among us share.

: That sounds sarcastic, but I am half serious.

This (clip below) is from my earlier post above and I think I will try it. IT will be a few weeks before I can pull it together but I think I will open it up for any kind of verse and definately for the philidties as well as the genteel . I enjoy Robert Service as much as any of the sophisticatred crowd. So start writing your verse and I will have half the slide show out soon. Scott

This has generated an idea. We have all experienced on paddles (especially solo paddles) how unrelated ideas go through our mind but seem to connect in a way that gives us clearer focus and better understanding. Think about it snips of ideas, a natural setting, better understanding. So this is the idea. Post a slide show of images, let anyone so inclined write a Haiku for an image, and create a slide show with images and Haiku which would be a paper version of the actual experience. My hypothesis is that the experience is universal enough that the creation from several would be very close to what any one of the people would create individually. I am thinking you may have to help everyone out by educating us on how many ons are in the word Guinness and Robert can help by experimenting to find out how many ons are in a six pack of Guinness.
