		<description><![CDATA[The place had not been found nor had the song been written

that could match his sadness, gladness and his tears.

No town had given him the breath of its existence,

though all he sought was solace from the years.

Happiness was singing to his friends and loved ones

out behind a house to call his home.

Lonliness was following a roadshow, looking for those people ~

hoping for a song about a place to call his own.

		<description><![CDATA[   What is the first poem you remember from your childhood? In my case, it was a Swedish prayer which was said before our meal. I can no longer recite the words, but the cadence stays with me even today. How about "Twinkle, twinkle little star..." or "Now I lay me down to sleep..."? Shall we take a poll?

		<description><![CDATA[I heard the collective gasp, to which I heartily contributed, at the recent report of poetry being a dying art form: http://www.newsweek.com/id/191012?from=rss . Upon reading it, I asked friends and colleagues “what’s to be done about this?” “Is it just drivel, designed to fill column space?” However, something about it was resonating, striking an unconscious chord.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=iampentameter.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7180008&amp;post=43&amp;subd=iampentameter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
