___Here is my thought for this thread. I think long poetry is at odds with this venue, but quatrains may suit it well enough. Kind've a step up from the 'Take a Moment', but not lengthy either. Posters may post their own quatrain, comment on those of others, or simply lounge languidly in front of the screen.
___Without further ado, a quatrain I composed years ago while driving on a bridge over the mighty Columbia River in mid-Winter.
A quatrain to say,
what happened today.
It broke out in yellow,
in the Land of Gray.
