puffy eyes swell more
sinuses close, hard to hear
barely taste dinner...david

Hi David. I just got through with an antibiotic, still have the sinus thing going on. Nice to see you here! I noticed a lot of "the old gang" back here at IPP lately. How nice! I have an offer for you, as well as for beekay and DaRedQueen and any others who remember the old IPP family of 1997-200(2) If you want to visit another poetry site (along with this one, of course) where a lot of your old buddies hang out (i.e. me, Chikuba Joe, MsQueenindenial, t, opto, moon4rent, etc.) please email me at keasha@comcast.net and I can send you an invite. We have an EZ board site just recently set up with poetry as well as "discussion,' which is a lot of fun and quite a supportive atmosphere. It's a new forum and a small, membership-only, (by invitation) site so we all know each other and encourage each other with our poetry as well as friendships. So david, beekay, others, (hey even if I don't know you, drop me an email if you are interested and we can chat about it).... Otherwise, nice to see so many familiar faces her at IPP. I'll have to dig out some haiku and start posting again!

Gee, that's great Keasha. I wish you all the best in your new endeavour. However, you're wrong about MsQueenInDenial -- she's not from IPP. I met her on ezboard and that's how she came to my board where you all met her. Anyway, carry on.
Nigh Eve

I guess I have met so many poets that I have lost track of where I met them. Anyway, I think it's fun to write at a few places. There are larger boards at EZ, like the Oasis, which is a busy place and full of talent and an enjoyable place to be a member, then there is this one, which I got invited to a couple of weeks ago and seems to be more intimate with very few members. There are benefits to each. Just like here... I suppose IPP will always be my poetry home, having written here since 97, and where I met a great bunch of poets, albeit not MsQueen (oops). It's wonderful that the internet provides so many opportunities to poets these days. Nice to see you Nigh Eve! ~Q~
