Curious George: National Blog Poetry day Monkeys and the blog community at large, Not really a question but more of an idea. I had this thought today "Gee if i got blog writers to post in verse, I would be a hero!!" And then I thought "Well I wouldn't be a hero of any kind but its a cool idea." So I declare June 1st 2004 to be National Blog Poetry Day. How it works is this, find a cool link, then post the link within a verse that YOU wrote on any blog on June 1st, all bloggers are welcome to join and u got over a month to write these entries. Catch is, each poem MUST rhyme. There's no prize for the best one or anything, its for the fun of it. We read and comment as usual. Lymricks are welcome of course if u think u can do it. Have fun, Aaron

Writing on the Brain Another excelent commentary via A&LD. Loved the first paragraph. Interesting how A&LD likes to paraphrase articles in a way that doesn't seem to relate in any way to the content of the sources.
