[stylist] not another convention notice

I also will not be attending convention.  All these messages give me good practice in the use of the delete key; I'm sure I'd feel differently if I were going.

I enjoyed the poem, it did a good job of painting an evening country seen.  I think you may have subject/verb disagreement in line four "calls the unseen crawlers".  Otherwise, quite good.

Subject: [stylist] not another convention notice

Hey all, as someone who does not get to go to Orlandext week, I am getting very tired of all of the convention notices and nothing else on all of the NFB LISTS serves. Because of this I thought I would post something a little different. I have started going to this poetry walk group on Wednesday evenings. We take a little walk or hike in a different nature type of lccation each week, at sunset and then create at that time. We recite and polish. It is fun and inspirational. This is the little poem I wrote this evening. When I say 'write' i mean put to memory as I have no way of writing and reading without my laptop.
This actually is a great exercise for me to learn to memorize as I am not very good at that. Well, I have attached above and will try to
past below (if my  computer cooperates).      We did have an
assignment from the group leader to use "ip" in the piece in whatever way we find appropriate.  Hope this puts a smile on those that are likewise not going to convention and may form as inspiration for those that do.

Take Notice

Wind singing in the boughs,
"Che che che che che che."
"Jiju jiju." ,
Calls the unseen crawlers.
"Twee twee, ip ip ip ip, caw.",
On the wing.
All unnoticed by hooved grazers,
Sacred with soulful eyes.
Imprisoned behind
Four strands of barbs
While the sun sets
On another day.
