Peace and love ya'll.

This month, we are going to try something a little different. Instead of picking someone from the boards as our artist of the month, we are going to pay a tribute to all writing by having an O.P.P. month (OPP = Other People's Poetry).

The rules are simple. Post a poem/short story/work of writing by an author that is NOT you. If it's from a website, please put a link so folks can check out the writer's other stuff. If it is a book, include the name of the book and obviously include the name of the author.

I would really like to see folks post non-OKPs (nothing personal, but we already know everyone's work here).

Why do it? Because there are a lot of us who read other people's work and it helps to read all forms of writing; you never know where you'll find inspiration.

So have at it folks! And Merry Xmas, Happy Chanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and whatever other religious seasons greetings there is.
