Update August 2nd:
I have selected Siva's poem, currently entitled Symptoms Of Insanity. Waiting for a reply, hopefully an acceptance. And what about a 2nd entry? "independence" is available, if needed. Voice in this thread, please. If we can't beat the deadline, then let's at least meet it. :) Michael (MV)

Re: Symptoms Of Madness
Hi Frank,
What do you and others think of asking Siva if this one can represent the Block in this IBPC?
Deadline approaching
as always
Michael (MV), who has been & remains very pre-occupied on the homefront

April Judged by Shara McCallum First Place Drought by Sue Kay Pen Shells Drought raises its head, trumpets another amber sunrise, tusks the earth, charges the faded foliage, tramples, tosses it aside.

"in the moog"
Donna
disco diva
singing I feel love ly
high noon where solstice meets with moon:
Summer
from body parts
but there is no last dance
always another song for her
freed voice
