OSLIST POETRY CELEBRATION AND CONTEST
Sept/Oct 2008

A few days ago I posted our ten wonderful poems for your enjoyment - and for our semi-annual Poetry Contest.

The Contest works like this: We use the "dot-voting" method. As a member of OSLIST you have 5 virtual sticky dots to vote for poems. Choose how many of your 5 dots to give to each poem (the poem's number is above the poem) and SEND YOUR VOTES TO ME ONLY, NOT TO THE LIST:

magic.teams at hotmail.com

The deadline for sending your sticky dots is midnight California time, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14.

I will tally the dots and announce the new Poet Laureate, and send the poems out again with the authors' names.

ontrast, has the freedom of Open Space but not the shared intention.
=A0
c.=A0 Putting (a) and (b) together:=A0 Maybe the free market is actually an=

=A0Maybe we are just starting to discern the underlying question that calle=
