Youth. Remembering. This is nice. and thats an interesting thought you have."we met at the hover dam where our thoughts and poetry touched" i like those thoughts.its amazing to meet a friend who you feel like you know already! but, what do you mean about that "hover dam" exactly.a vision, dream, or just the thought that our spirits know one another.i have many dreams of these things,etc.that is why i ask. -Always Lynette

Beautiful imagery in this one my friend. I love the way the words skip from each line and embrace the soul taking one back to the magical days of youth. Excellent! Smiles from Lolita

Wonderful haiku for Raul's contest and much deserved good luck in your entry.. my entry is Revelation.. u are extremely kind, my beau, in your comments today on my win in Brian's contest.. I do rent however this poem does not compare to my living quarters.. I have a quaint and cozy duplex just right for two... me and u... the livid letter was a spinoff of some things I might say if the landlord was not taking duties seriously.. glad u enjoyed.. blessings .. luv.. "Sweetheat" forever...

Excellent, HG. That photograph was awesome. It definitely made one search deep to find words. I wasn't sure what the round thing was... unless it was cloned in ice. I like the stone idea. It makes good sense because boys skip stones across the water. And that thing does resemble a giant stone. Good luck in the contest. Dane Ann
