2 more poems please!?!

Hi all...

Whatever Next needs TWO MORE short poems to complete this month's issue. Anyone have some cute little limericks or haiku?

Oh and it also needs Magda's article about meeting Jasper...but then she already knows that :)

And it fact, I've just logged in to read what I wrote before as a reminder before starting the article (finally), having had an unusually busy week at work.

Any minimum or maximum length in mind, or shall I just see what happens and you can let me know if you want it padded or trimmed?

Will do! Let me know if you want higher quality and/or uncropped versions of any of the pics I took. The ones I posted were, of course, cropped, resized, and saved at 60% quality using the Photoshop "Save for Web" feature so the page would load in a reasonable amount of time for folks (like me at home) on dial-up.

Yep, I love Photoshop! And I got a great deal on it too, since at the time (a couple years ago) the University where I work was offering a special deal on the Adobe web package, so I got Academic versions of Photoshop 6.0, Illustrator 9.0, LiveMotion and GoLive all for less the just the Academic price for Photoshop alone.

*jealous*

I won't say what I got mine for but ....it is a great program. Haven't played much with Illustrator, etc, but I've been a fan of Photoshop for years. Started out with 2.5 :)

I use Paint Shop Pro myself. It is pretty nifty ... very good at enhancing/restoring old pictures, I find.
