dear joelle <BR>
and my dear compañeros in this november03-poetry-session<BR>
Rich Foss, Audrey Coward, Chris Weaver, David Adams, Alan Stewart<BR>
and all dear sticky-dot-voters:<BR>
<BR>
applause to all of you infront of myself.<BR>
I needed some days to bow my head to get again <BR>
the honor and the spice for to continue the play<BR>
which had been originated in the year of ..... <BR>
from our again and again amazing ralph copleman.<BR>
<BR>
in this andalusian village, where I´m staying from time to time,<BR>
when someone as a single person is doing in public a work <BR>
there will be within short time at least four or five other people to join the single one <BR>
not to help him but to discuss his working.<BR>
in that manner we brave few poets of this november-contest <BR>
surely didn`t stay alone. thanks to all of you.<BR>

<U>the new »poetry-contest«<BR>
</U><BR>
as joelle invites me in her message from the 12.12.03 ,<BR>
»to support the writing and reading of poetry in any way he sees fit«<BR>
I open space just now with the date of 12.12.2003 to hold it for the next six month, <BR>
which is the normal cyclus of the socalled poetry-contest.<BR>
<BR>
the motto is<B> »EVERY«</B> <BR>
»<U>every</U>« is quite close to the idea of »<U>expanding the now</U>«<BR>
because there is no special »now« to expand, <BR>
there is only the now which is <U>every</U> now.<BR>
<BR>
dear friends, <BR>
look <U>every day</U> on your <U>everyday</U> -thinking/dreaming/writing<BR>
and get aware that it contains again and again nuggets of poetry<BR>
which are only a little bit to be polished, which is to put them in lines and will fit.<BR>
we are not looking for poets.<BR>
we are looking for poetry.<BR>
<BR>
let us get aware of the more or less hidden/obvious poetry <BR>
in <U>every</U> posting in this OSlist.<BR>
<BR>
I open the socalled contest this time in the way of OST:<BR>
whenever you want -- come in to the circle of the list, anounce your »every«,<BR>
put it on the wall as a posting. at the end of this half year<BR>
I´ll publish again the whole wall and then invite you to the marketplace <BR>
to put your sticky dots........<BR>
<BR>
every posting in the Oslist which is titled »every« is welcome as poetry all over<BR>
the time of six month beginning on december 12, 2003 to about june 2004.<BR>
following OST: anonymity is quit for this time.<BR>
<BR>
come on<BR>
write ahead<BR>
<BR>
