Camilla	Reading Drew´s wonderful poems, I thought it would be a pity if they should get lost in the multiplicity of themes and topics we´ve created. How would you feel about a poet´s corner in our chalet, for those talented among us who consent to share their gifts of words, and perhaps also room for the rest of us to share poems we have read and which have touched us? Just a suggestion…

drew	Your suggestion raises an interesting question of whether a poem is more impactful when it is stumbled upon or tripped over, or when it is found where one reasonably might look for such a thing. In my estimation, there is no right answer to the question. I appreciate the sentiment, and if you are the collecting sort, you could collate by pasting links to the scattered poems from nooks and crannies in other threads. We are all poets, only some are not yet realized as such. So, a poem for your corner, having first melted away the walls: Neverlost and Alwaysfound My neverlost, it lets me wander ‘oer hill and dale toward yin and yonder. It cannot say recalculating, Or interrupt for map updating. My location is always HERE, you see So wherever I go, there is me! Sometimes I do misplace it though By forgetting things I already know. But when in distress, I never fear My alwaysfound is ever near. To find a neverlost simply abide Enquire with thought ”who am I?” The Self will soon then reappear Vanquish all trouble, ego, and fear Returning the neverlost back to my heart Where NOW is always the right time to start.

Camilla	Drew, thank you for replying and for another absolutely brilliant poem. Yes, I also hesitated to make the suggestion, because your previous poems were always perfectly suited to the topics and were a valuable contribution to them, so please please go on leaving them in the threads for us to stumble over and enjoy! Perhaps this could be a place for poems not written as response to a particular topic…pasting links or copying might also be a good idea….let´s see how it´ll develop!

Camilla	The placing of the apostrophe just blame it on the author´s rough mastery of a foreign speech So it was meant: I do beseech you all to join in – let´s create a world for those who dedicate themselves to trying without tricks to paint with words those cheerful pics which lead to others saying „Yep! That´s brought me forward – one more step.“ Drew, you seem not only to paint beautiful pictures but to inspire others as well

Camilla	Isn´t it fun, what is happening here? All at once those rhymes appear When cleaning house, when writing books nothing ist just the way it looks cause everywhere, if you look close a poem in the darkness glows.

Camilla	This sure is turning out different than I thought – but it´s fun! Drew, love your German poem!

medwyn	Sorry for disturbing the harmonic lines of words with my clumsy enrty (my English is not really good so far) but I’ve just had to post a Pilot Report about one of my flights for a virtual flying company in flight simulator. I think this could be a kind of tribute or reminiscence of the flying Richard Bach. What I also would really happy to do is gathering the places he landed in his books and fly a possible ‘Richard Bach route’ in the simulator with some reflections and pictures posted later here in a forum topic. If anyone could help me to collect the ICAO codes of the airports/airtrips that would be great. (Or maybe I just have to read all his books again which is also a joy… ) So here is the PIREP (I have to link it because of the pictures) and thank you very much! http://www.niska-aviation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=1662

drew	This is my response to Richard’s journal entry Got Plans? Black warrior I sense there is no plan for me Just currents Beyond Comprehension I write My own narrative Wherever I am Blown By invisible wind My drafting Tools include: Black Warrior and natural gum eraser I am always Free to reinvent At present The story of my Past and future And, of course To Remove the mis from life’s adventure.

drew	Contrails I saw a plane just now. Out my window. At first I saw where it had just been, and only then, I knew which direction it was headed. The transect it made across the sky I could tell would intersect the contrail of another plane that came before. And when it did, the plane disappeared to me just for a blurred moment the sharp white line was hidden within the fuzzy wind blown residue of the earlier craft, the contrails merged. In that instant, both planes gone and now the evidence only one cloud there appears.

G. Anthony	In between your molecules I work my shine in silent moves brilliantly quiet shades and hues that loves life jazz even when it plays the blues
