    Today is a once in four years opportunity for single ladies. Propose to the man of your dreams and if he turns down your offer be comforted by the fact that tradition dictates that he must buy you a silk gown. I call that a Win,Win situation.

      Happy February 29th Glenis, it's still the 29th here, but not much time left so I guess I missed it. Thanks for the tip.

    Once a cat met a rat
    In a shadowy garden, there were
    Smell of roses and feces mixed in April sun.

    Since then five hundred years have passed.
    Since then the leaves of March
    have pressed its breast and belly
    Inside a book, titled "Sunlight of May",
    And in that same day, a robot was born
    In a planet that is duplicate of the earth.

    Since then
    Newer universes have been revealed by Apple incorporated
    Every four months. New operating systems have been installed
    On servers.
    I have visited new websites
    That showcase poetry.

      Well, that was an interesting way of saying a lot of nothing lol, or maybe it said so much I just couldn't understand it.

            That is a hindi song. It talks about how lonely a person was before they met their beloved. We are all linked inside this website. Hence, this entire phenomenon/phenomena is sort of a digital poetry.

            No one likes being around a lonely website.

    I didn't know about the silk gown tradition, Glenis. I missed my chance (ha!ha!).
    Maybe in 2024... .
