" Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings. "
--William Wordsworth... a link !
Also by William Wordsworth: " The ocean is a mighty harmonist. " and " That best portion of a good man's life; His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. "... I think I like this guy !!!
Had a problem with BLOGGER not publishing on Saturday evening nor Sunday ... copied my posts in NoteTabLite. I was unable to post Happy Easter in a timely fashion due to this untimely glitch. Again... when I check tonight... I have only an apricot colored page... nothing else ? I was able to access on Tuesday and Wednesday... wonder what's up ?
Trying a method to hide my email address from spam bots found at hiveware.com... very easy to set up and then cut and paste... cool !!! Seems to work in this BLOG fine.
Allergies !!! Rain possible Friday. Perhaps an answer to prayer... to knock the pollen out of the air.
Poem(s):

Test the tempest...
best be prepared
Lest thy being...
zest be impaired

My entries... " Poetry in Motion" daily contest:
Envision
Sight certainly
breeds desire...
hopes happen
touch tingling
nerves afire
curves crash
loving lasts

My Vista
Far off Sierras
Spied from 'neath the shady pines
Home's panorama
:Bobby Nichols 4-14-2004
Desert Yearnings Redux
Spiked sentinel waits
Mocking clouds hazarding rain
Desert entreating

" Envision "... The 'tiles' unkind... my mind more so.
" Etre "... " Etre " French for " To Be "... "est" ( test/best/lest/zest ) a derivative... which sounds like drivel... hence the poem. Almost named the poem " Est "... too vague ( ipse dixit ). I liken the imagery to being on a sailboat, alone, contemplating: whither the weather... whether or not.
" My Vista "... a Haiku: Picture shown of a shady spot 'neath a pine tree, the ground a russet color from the high iron content, over-seeing the foothills gradually butting up to the mountains... my vista near to home.
" Desert Yearnings Redux "... a Haiku: At least there are clouds now... the cactus a singular spire with but vestiges of buds. See ( 3-11-2004 )
Sanga'ay hanto !!!
