Four more years of hell. ________________________________________ exit polls excite-- going to sleep well tonight! say the 'F' word: FRAUD. _______________________________________ Ohio in play?

    Freepers, Poetry is the soul of our hearts. We can converse, pontificate, and rally til the cows come home, but we really show our humanity, wit and truest selves in our poetry. Doug From Upland is a fine example of such an artist. In his poems, we feel -- but we not only feel, we feel each other.
