Some weeks ago-never mind how long precisely-having little inspiration or no ideas in my mind and nothing particular to inspire me in books, I thought I would explore a little and see the cyber parts of the world of poetry. It is a way I have of driving off writers’ block and regulating production…I consider it time to get to Poetsonline as regularly as I can. This is my substitute for my own muse and thoughts. There is nothing surprising in this. If Ken but knew it, almost all of the regulars in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings toward the site with me. Alas, just as the ocean remains sometimes silent, so our site now is quiet and still. We wait and wait, wondering what it is that keeps our leader so still. Where can he be?<BR/><BR/>(With all due respect to H.

I do agree with them that chain posts too often lead to splogs and clog up the blogosphere, and to quote Groucho Marx, "I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would accept someone like me as a memeber."Poets Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880224855001620610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17676950.post-30272568305023172192007-05-07T01:09:00.000-04:002007-05-07T01:09:00.000-04:00This blog is tagged for an award.
