What a good poem, do you publish? You seem pretty polished, no cliches.

heh--this one, unfortunately, is not mine. (was just editing to say that, but you're too quick! hee)

i wish i could give credit, but i discovered it written on the side of a payphone in sharpie.

it made me think of my fiance so much i had to grab a napkin and write it down...

Goodness, I've never seen anything good on the side of a payphone. Jackie loves bobby and so and so is a slut is about all I've encountered.
It is really very good.
I hope to see something of yours sometime

wow, that's impressive for a payphone poem.

there is a spate of footpath poetry going on here at the moment. it's nice to walk to work, stopping to read poetry on the way.

(i added you to my friends list, k?)

much as i should i could have told you
who wrote it)

things...
