Re:The Bard's Coffee Shop 2007 1st edition - 02/15/2008
Do y'all still post new poetry from time to time?
Shouldn't this Bard's Coffee Shop be renamed the 2008 edition? I hung the new sign but it was made of cheap paper and thus only served as a temporary measure. 
If anyone is looking for a sort of fun & thought-provoking read, I recently finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Two thumbs up on that one, and I'm about halfway through a non-fiction called 36 Views of Mount Fuji by Cathy Davidson, a highly engaging account of the author's experiences living and teaching in Japan as an American.
Hope everyone is doing well. It's a month too late to quote Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem (actually her interpretation of Baudelaire's) but I'll do it anyway because it still fits:
Pluviose, hating all that lives, and loathing me,
Distills his cold and gloomy rain and slops it down
Upon the pallid lodgers in the cemetery
Next door, and on the people shopping in the town.
I love the word pluviose.

my new favorite quote. Thank you ever so much. It's so cool that others realize that my hallucinagenic alcoholic soul has cockroaches.
You can kick me out if you want.
