I had big plans to post something poetry-related every day during the month of April. Unfortunately, on April 1st my computer got very sick, and spent nine days at the Apple Store. Finally got it back on Thursday night. These are up and down poems (you have to decide whether to read from top to bottom or bottom to top) I actually wrote two weeks ago- I played around with them after I read Dana Jensen's A MEAL OF THE STARS.

These "long" poems are great. Love that Marianas trench one. Isn't it just amazing to think how deep it really is? And that's kind of what you spoke of. I did miss you Carol, & wondered what was up? I thought you just must be busy, which you probably are.
