... not a "Poetry Jam"... It's just something fun to do. No claim to great literature. Just people who like to write stuff, inspired by the words of others. *shrug*... it's the internet. It's all about connection and words are the vehicle in this media.

Sometimes it's fun to let a garish of words gush.
