This poem is in response to comments on "Not a Poet", a poem posted here on 2-22-2000.

A Poet on the Internet!

I used to be plain, ordinary,
A wallflower, a nobody, you bet,
But now I'm Flying High in the Fast Lane,
'Cause I'm a Poet on the Internet!

No longer an anonymous stranger,
My popularitys now nearly set,
I'll be signing those coveted Autographs,
'Cause I'm a Poet on the Internet!

My days will be happy and merry,
As I haven't experienced quite yet,
But that's due to change really soon now,
'Cause I'm a Poet on the Internet!

My Poems will be read 'round the World,
By people that I've never met,
I'll be Whimsical,and so "Avant-Garde",
'Cause I'm a Poet on the Internet!

My new friends at Passions are kindly,
They probably won't say I'm ALL WET,
They've been posting their Quality Poems,
Right here on the Internet!

 You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name
And know my love and my desperation were one and the same...
Baby it's alright...
Take this pain and all this sadness
It's alright
Take this rain
You're going to be free...
Jackson Browne

This is great! I have a question! When we get the long-awaited newsletter off the ground, would you allow us to use this poem for a special edition that we've planned. The edition will be dedicated to this very topic - Poetry on the Internet..I think it would be a great poem to lead off with! If you don't mind that is...

Dennis; This is such fun to read, And I love your houmorous slant on you new found poetic stardom. The King of Haiku has spoken! Sis

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
