We've only just met, but you've caught my heart entirely. I'll be back.<br /><br />I publish little online except my own, poor, occasional verse. sightothewind.blogspot.com<br />Bring your criticisms, please.

More often than not, "blogging" (i.e. the sharing and communication it allows) makes me recall what L.M.Montgomery's Anne Shirley is famous for declaring: Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think!Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569918774646206711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579132932451243418.post-48384200228489998062011-01-03T15:23:49.747-08:002011-01-03T15:23:49.747-08:00:) Thanks, Regina!

Somehow that word always makes me think of the movie, Bambi, and the skunk that got twitterpated.<br /><br />Rosa, will a video of the competition make it onto youtube? I love such things. I just learned that such open mic nights occasionally happen at a coffee shop here, so I'm looking forward to stopping in to find out when the next one is. Any big mission trips in your near future?Doug P.

I performed 2 poems at Open Mic Night for school, but tomorrow I'll be in another reading. This is exciting because it is a sort of competition (no prize though) between St. Mary's and Winona State. I personally think we've had the better poems the past two times, but I'm a little biased. =)Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703470346050797127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579132932451243418.post-83103042197681806342010-11-01T08:11:59.717-07:002010-11-01T08:11:59.717-07:00I love it, Doug.

...Thanks, Rosa! Coming from you that means a lot! <br /><br />And I think I may have forgotten to thank you for the book written by the cemetery wall. (I've been so distracted lately; I'm sorry!) I really love it! "Death makes us make minutes into things we never would make them otherwise." It really is a charming, witty, wise book! And very cleverly put together!<br /><br />Have you had any poetry readings lately?Doug P.
