Sorry to report that the owner of this website has abandoned it. We owe him eternal gratitude for all the work that went into building it in the first place, and for continuing to foot the bill that keeps it online at all. That said: we apologize for the bugs, but there's nothing we can do to fix them.

Keep steady backups of your poetry. And everything else--that's just practical advice for a digital world.

Poem of the Day for 11/06/24
5 September 01 (draft 2)
by Leonard M Hawkes
With the dawn
Was thunder,
And wind gusts enough
To snap a willow
In the creek-
But there was no rain.
And midmorning
The sky darkened,
And sputtering flashes
Stabbed the withered earth
The lights flickered out--
But no soothing rain.
By noon the sun
Burned bright,
The day a-swelter
With heavy moist
Clinging heat--
And still no rain.
She would not loose
Her blast and grasp;
Holding us yet
In continued dearth
From an even prickly June
Without rain.
But with the sunset
Black clouds lumbered,
Dust drops splashed
And freshness whisked
The sun away--
Yet summer reigns. 11/25/2001 Visit Leonard M Hawkes's Library
