It's probably time for me to put out a general <i>reminder</i> that my <i>Haiku</i> use the haiku form but are not haiku in the true sense. I did post about this early on. If you would like to read it, you will find it <a href="http://picsandpoems.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> You will have to scroll down to Jan 13.

I don't really understand it so it rather discombobulates me, but you bring it up to date and thus show its possibilities.<br /><br />My son has been exploring Kindles, he knows about these electronic things, and has been impressed enough to almost buy one. He is a voracious reader and travels, so something that would give him hundreds of books without the weight would be ideal, but he wants more than they yet offer.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.com
