Good work, Nina. Wow, is it getting hot in here?

Time sits in my mind<BR>slowly falling to the sea<BR>You will make it so<BR>

wow, nina, wow. you too ncgirl, all of you. yes, it is getting a bit hot here too, under my collar. gosh, I must be losing control - I was almost ready to attempt haiku, but I'm short on blades. keep at it - fodors opens a literary vein, finally. long may it flow!

Mental deficits<BR>abound in Haiku poetry<BR>by lost young people

Phony indulgence<BR>knows no boundaries or race<BR>American youth lead

Here goes ... <BR><BR>I like Europeans<BR>Not protesters, but nice guys<BR>Like Tone 'n' Pootie-Poot.<BR><BR>(Colin Powell sez that's not a real haiku, but he is just mean.)

<BR>Waves lick my tired feet<BR>I step back then back again<BR>don't tease me so, sea.

I lick-a your feet<BR>But, since I am not the sea<BR>You slap-a my face

Good one, Salvatore!

"Pseudo pursuits run<BR>deep within the soul of youth<BR>Not knowing themselves"<BR><BR>That's very good Hasimiko. Really deep because of the truth it bares.<BR><BR>Bravo<BR>

America<BR>Glorify the lowest common denominator<BR>Balkanization is coming
