21 Jul 99 - 01:17 PM (#97702) Subject: RE: Haikus for Tim Jaques et alia- add yer own! From: annamill I have been waiting for a time to show you all this site. It is for people who enjoy beautiful poetry. It is written by everyday people like our selves. In fact, you can enter your own. I don't know how to do a blue clicky thing, so here is the address. It is called "Passions in Poetry". http://netpoets.com/index.htm It's a beautiful site, but not related to music,so I haven't mentioned it till now. I use them for personal messages or important dates. I didn't get the hiaku from here, though. Enjoy. Love, annap |

21 Jul 99 - 05:03 PM (#97747) Subject: RE: Haikus for Tim Jaques et alia- add yer own! From: Peter T. I am fond of clerihews, which involve famous people in the first line, and then a rhyme, and then two clincher lines that define or describe the person comically. For instance: John Milton Never stayed at a Hilton Hotel Which is just as well. or: John Stuart Mill by an effort of will, gave up his natural bonhomie, and wrote Principles of Political Economy. Mudcat clerihews: Joe Offer Always seems to proffer Good sense, Over the Mudcat fence. Catspaw, Has only one flaw It involves doing things heinous With a possum's anus. and so on. Yours, Peter T. |

From: ClaireBear And one just for you, Kat, but you'll need to pick the last line (depending on circumstances I suppose) and I may have got the color wrong: Sacred goddess Bast Your gray priestess on my lap Sleeps in your honor or Sacred goddess Bast Your gray priestess on my lap Purrs down your blessing |
