   OK, not exactly random. I'll be more random next time. Was feeling romantic instead. :-)

   Right JB that was brilliant! I especially like the part where you magnetically wrote "should I drink one word and die happy" :)
   
   Okay people you don't have to get fancy and do a screen shot like JB (but that was real snazzy), just get your own poem going on the Magnetic Poetry website and then you can type the same in here. I know we have poets out there... where's wokky when I need him!

   Here's my best shot - genius, I think you'll find!
   
   "Somewhere ... at first sight ... is ... a ... place
   lost ...love ... I ... want ... to ...come ...true ... can ... smile
   I have ... only ... one ... heaven .. floor .... from ... on ... my .... dreams
   but .... tequila ... in ... astronaut pants ... would ... I think ... do you"

      That one gets the mental juices flowing. My own interpretation is rather like an erotic fantasy. Don't know if it was intended that way. I keep getting this interesting image of T.R. on the floor in astronaut pants...

            Astronaut pants are the only pants I trust to make my butt look amazing. Regular pants just make it look good.

    You can also make the link relative to the site, by using

       There's probably an easier way for me to describe this, but it's all I can think of right now. When I type LT, interpret it as the lessthan symbol (triangular shaped open bracket thingy, aka shift+commma). When I type GT, it's the greaterthan symbol (triangular shaped closed bracket thingy, shift+period).
       
       OK. Before your link, include: LTimg_src="
       After your link, include: "/GT

       try to put in the code like this, and remove the space between the "<" and "img" at the beginning and the one at the end between "a" and ">", using your own web address

                if you put the space between the < 's and whatever they are in front of, it's read as a normal character. < is more then just code it can also be used to see if something is greater then something else, and as part of sideways hearts too <3!!

       We've got a cat like that around too (named PITA) :-) Great poem! Are you working on a PC? Hit the "PrtSc" key. This will copy the current screen into your copy buffer. Then, paste it into microsoft paint, or some other graphics editor. Paint doesn't crop, though. I had to save the file, then pull it up with Microsoft Office Picture Manager to crop it. There's probably an easier way, but it worked for me. A good graphics editor would be nice.

       Isn't this great ? My first reaction was - couldn't we have a poetry section. But then realised that one of the things that makes Woyano different is that it doesn't have sections. It's all there - all together - a sort of (well- behaved) free for all. Perhaps the tags could be more accessible, as in a index, then one could go directly to a particular topic. Occasionally. Or not. Actually, I like the wild card, free association sort of lucky dip approach. I love being able to dip into all kinds of contributions. Have I wandered into another post??? :D

       "i vow nothing but farewell to venhemence"
       "my loathsome dream is thine envy"
       "what wintery villan doth beseech thee?"

       writing poetry happens to be on of my favorite pass times .. so yeah ,, I tend to get a bit carried away! everything turns out for the best though .. my new neighbour writes country and western songs for some pretty popular people and she is really interested in seeing some of my work .. I'm pretty hyped about that ~grins madly~~

       That's beautiful, TR. Makes me want to take a walk right now!
       
       Maybe it's just me, and my mind is in the gutter right now, but...
       
       "..seed.. grapefruit"
       "fiddle under wood-like (er, read 'musty') areas"
       "explore private tunnels"
