O HI NATIONAL POETRY MONTH

[melannen]

A poem that for some reason came to mind this week, from my favorite sonneteer of all time, Edna St. Vincent Millay:

I, being born a woman and distressed
By all the needs and notions of my kind,
Am urged by your propinquity to find
Your person fair, and feel a certain zest
To bear your body's weight upon my breast:
So subtly is the fume of life designed,
To clarify the pulse and cloud the mind,
And leave me once again undone, possessed.
Think not for this, however, the poor treason
Of my stout blood against my staggering brain,
I shall remember you with love, or season
My scorn with pity,—let me make it plain:
I find this frenzy insufficient reason
For conversation when we meet again.

There was a women who understood everything that "sexual liberation" entailed.



So is "you don't talk about account creation being turned on" one of the rules of JF now? 'cause it's on. And nobody's talking about it.

Hmm. Didn't see any announcements in system.

I know! I haven't seen an announcement anywhere, and I went looking. But it is, in fact, turned on (http://www.journalfen.net/create.bml) - I tested it by making myself a backup account.
