Is Bughouse dying?
Death is a new beginning- and resurrection. Can one ever use iambic pentameter in a haiku poem? -------------------- "I have served my country; I have done my duty. I have tasted fear and confronted death; I have fought with honor and survived with dignity, and now take my liberty." - Joe Hertel
"To go to school for four years, or six, is no proof of excellence; any more than to fail in an examination is proof of incompetence. The giving of degrees and diplomas to people who have done no useful things is puerile and absurd, since degrees so secured are no proof of competence, and tend to inflate the holder with the idea that he is some great one when, probably, he isn't. All degrees should be honorary, and be given for meritorious service to society-that is, for doing something useful for somebody." -Elbert Hubbard "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen it's brutality, it's futility, it's stupidity." - Dwight D.

a haiku's a wonderful form
for sharing a thought that is warm but a limerick is slicker and oftentimes quicker and certainly far from the norm D'OH! it's supposed to be a haiku okay okay . Umm... obsession drives us to make mountains from molehills and haiku's from naught -------------------- This is Hell! So listen to This is Hell Satuday mornings on WNUR-FM 89.3 or check out thisishell.net and read the updates or listen to the archives. The best radio news program going.

After a big scary wait
I finally received the letter I wanted Off to Colorado I go! -------------------- Debbie
I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief. --Gerry Spence 'How to Argue and Win Every Time' The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. --Eleanor Roosevelt "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back." -Maya Angelou "Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire." -William Butler Yeats (1863-1939) Irish dramatist and poet; Nobel Prize in Literature 1923 This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance, intolerance and indifference. This weapon of television could be useful. -Edward R. Murrow |
