Bicuspi 5247

From the continuing series of "Spoems." Spoems - poems caught in between spam.

This particular one is from Fabrizio Blumberg, a lesser known poet, but a more proficient spammer in the "Spoem world.'

Here it is, the latest from Fabrizio, wherever you are!

...the air without breaking floated away over The Hill.
Very pretty! said Gandalf. But I have no time to blow smoke-rings this morning. I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging. and its very difficult to find anyone. I should think so in these parts! We are plain quiet kand have no use for adventures. nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you -

And it stops. I'm afraid some of this 'Spoem' is to be considered 'lost art/literature.' Well it is difficult to find such art, at least we have procured some of it! Where could we find such literature?! Well of course I know it is from the Lord of the Rings series. But it's just funny how bit and pieces of it end up everywhere like some ancient cave writings.. the emblem of a natural world lost to the digital...

Tune in next time for more of 'Spoem Theatre!'

Literature in Las Vegas?

So... does it exist? Literature in Las Vegas? Lost Vegas? Sure....! You say, just saunter down the strip on a sunny day and watch the literature fly all over the sidewalk! No! Not that kind. What about seedy, smoky (well maybe not so anymore with the new no-smoking laws in place) seedy, smoky, dark ex-coffee joints where squeaky, reticent college students sweat out limp poetry readings... But where is the enthusiasm? Squashed by the sun? Or perhaps blown away with all the 'literature' blowing in the wind? How about the many books you find in the libraries here in town? "There are libraries in Las Vegas?!" You query... Yes! There are libraries.. only they are fast falling behind the new kid in town... people don't go to libraries to read books anymore. They go to use the computers and check out movies.... it's true.

So, the quest continues... I ask again... is there literature in Las Vegas? Are there bonafide writers.thinkers.poets who really care what is said and read? I believe there are folks. And soon, you might be able to see this for yourselves, for colleagues and I are on a mission to seek out these 'writers' and 'poets' and 'literary' types in Las Vegas and update what is taken for 'literature' here in the desert of the lost.. Perhaps we will find our literature and those who hunger and thirst for it will be sated... we will see...
