Just wanted to say thanks for being a real friend of mine on Myspace. If you have any poetry or know a really great poet that you like - let me know - i'm always looking for new poetry & poets to feature on 10K Poets.
"The stars had been blotted out...the great cloud which had obscured the sky looked curiously like the outline of a great man. And where the top of the 'cloud' must have been, where the head of the thing should have been, there were two gleaming stars."
Someone caught a 12 foot great white shark about a 100 miles away (in the fishing gear), and I got to see it in the freezer. About 2 weeks ago someone saw one in Coos Bay (in the actual bay).
Which I wish to say is this There is no beginning to an end But there is a beginning and an end To beginning. Why yes of course. Any one can learn that north of course Is not only north but north as north Why were they worried. What I wish to say is this. Yes of course
Hi Jason. I wasn't able to send you a message so I'm commenting instead. I can't recall which issues your poetry appeared in. I think it was 5 and 6, but I'm not sure. Just a general credit would be more than adequate -- thanks so much for the shout out. ... I hope this finds you doing well. I'm not on Myspace too much these days, apologies for the delay in responding. Take care. -- Ben, C&E
