| Cinquains for the New Millennium The question is not, "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?," but "what would those angels wear?" Based on the five-line form developed in the early 20th Century, these poems take wing to the new millennium. Links to other cinquain sites and background information included. |
| Ghazals for Randy Traditional and experimental ghazals developed from a cooperative automatic-writing project. |
| Poem for the Asteroid Braille Billie Dee has been commissioned by the National Library Service to write an ode for Asteroid 9969 Braille. The space rock was discovered at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and was named in honor of Louis Braille, inventor of the most widely used reading system for the blind. |

| Barbie Turns Forty What do you buy the birthday girl who has every(every!)thing? At forty, she's lookin' mighty good ... but rumor has it she's had some plastic surgery. Get all the dirt on the girl from Malibu. |
