Musing

I like doing poetry posts here now and then. Partly because I like poetry, or at least some of it. There is kind of a problem with layout. The site puts a space between every paragraph by default (except when it doesn't.) And since it involves hitting "Enter" it registers each line of verse as a new paragraph. Or new stanza, as they sometimes appear to be with the added spaces.

Anyway, the heat came on tonight. Only the second time this fall, I believe. The first one was back at the beginning of the month. It's definitely not freezing tonight, but you could say it's a little chilly.

See? That's kind of poetic.

"Shift+enter" should work.

When I post a poem to blogger I almost always do so by writing it in text edit first and then copy paste to blogger unless it's a very short poem or verse. I decided to see what would happen if I typed one into the compose page and found you're exactly right. The good news is that Outis's solution works.

Thank goodness he came by.

Inger gave me a t-shirt with one of her teacher's sayings - not sure if it's a poem but I've always liked it:

It's all false.
It's all a dream.
It's all crazy.
It's all over.
It's alright.
Let's see what's next.

Thank you, Outis. I'll be trying that soon.
