I've been called a number of things in my life, but never "king", especially
not at home.  But if it be so (and who would want to argue with Lisa), I
hereby declare the Open Space Poetry Contest to be an open and royal event,
worthy of every citizen's appreciation.

And here's my (untitled) entry...



Nero, they say, fiddled his empire to flame.
And Nemo ruled the watery underworld so deep.
I prefer our posted sessions and spirits to name
Above water, ever fiery, still moving, to keep.



(okay, so it doesn't contain a natural world image  ­ unless you count the
reference to the ocean.)

Best to all from sunny, flower-festooned New Jersey, USA.

P.S.  Thanks to all of you who answered my request for your contact info
when I lost my computer address book.  I'm back in business with a full
complement of OS'ers and others to write to.

As advertised there will be a 3rd edition of the User's Guide coming out in
2008. A number of you have made most helpful suggestions for the revision,
and if you would like to see the result go to
http://openspaceworld.com/papers.htm  and scroll down to "User's Guide" It
is a large PDF file.

I would love to hear any thoughts and comments. Don't worry about
punctuation etc that is what editors are for. But if you see something that
I said that I shouldn't have, or something that I might have said and
didn't, please let me know.
