~Its a birthday~

~Happy Birthday, Gabriel!~ “If you say that there are elephants flying in the sky, people are not going to believe you.

~Ear painting~

~I read somewhere that haiku and poetry

are like ear paintings because they are so sensory and its so quick and happens in one flash of a moment. All poetry has to have a dramatic and emotional impact on you, my dad taught poetry and enlish at City Collee, he always told me, "show, not tell."I don't remember where I read this specificly, but this is a good site for the haiku of today.~

~This is a peaceful image I love-it just reminds me of writing poetry so much. I got it from one of my labs at school on Photoshop.~ This imaage can calm you and get you in the mood to write, it worked for me.~

~Halfway Down the Stairs is a magazine that's been around for awhile. It is a well-known electronic journal. They publish poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, as well as book reviews. I love poetry and writing magaizines with unique names.~
