And now......dig this

I guess is it Poetry month... or week or whatever.  I like poetry... really.  Not that I know much about it.... and that is firmly attested to by a whole scrapbook of rejection slips from the 70's when I THOUGHT  I did.  Seriously.  I GOT  bunches.  Well, rather than be discouraged.... I started collecting them.  It got to be fun.  Then I started writing long rqambling cover letters to go with my submissions.  That was more fun than writing the poems.  The best was when I got a letter back from a small literary magazine out west.... with my poems enclosed.... with a $25 check enclosed.... explaining that they thought the poems kinda sucked..... but they published my cover letter!!!  Ha! Boy&Howdy..... you could buy a lotta cheap beers for $25 back in 73!!  And that was the first thing I ever published.  If I think long enough I might remember the second........

Anyways.... getting back.... poetry.... I don't know much, but I know what I like.... and I always liked Shel.....
