Peridementia<\/EM> struck again yesterday, it seems. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
I spent an entire day without posting haiku from <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
one of our fine Honored Guest Poets.  We don’t <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
allow haiku i.o.u.’s to sit around unpaid.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
 <\/DIV>
\n
So, please enjoy the poetry of Rebecca Lilly:<\/FONT> <\/DIV>

to believe that they are one very big reason why relatively few women participate<\/DIV>

in weblogging — as proprietors or readers.  I’m thankful for the handful of law-<\/DIV>

to make this one of them.<\/DIV>
