The new issue of Lighten Up Online is available at www.lightenup-online.org. My favorite piece in the issue is Maryann Corbett's poem about computerized photographs (I share the sentiments expressed). Also in there are spherians Chris O'Carroll, Jerome Betts, & me. If I've overlooked you, speak up!

[Joseph Bottum]

Congrats, all! (Although the title of the journal always me feel guilty. Lighten up, it commands.)

[Jerome Betts]

Gail, from the Sphere there's also Brendan Beary and Leo Vincent (aka M.P.) Maryann's piece must indeed have rung a lot of bells. I was also surprised to figure in the competition results on a very well-thumbed theme

Incidentally, I see Lighten Up On Line answers both to your .org and also .co.uk

I read it, I loved it. It's always a treat when a new issue arrives. Laughter is good for the soul.

[Maryann Corbett]

Thanks for the shout-out, Gail, and continuing thanks to Martin Parker for providing these laughs. (And Gail, I'm happy to report that those laws croak on at least an annual basis, all over the country.)

[W.F. Lantry]

Congrats Maryann, Gail, and everyone included! It sounds like a lark!

Thanks,

Bill

Gail and Maryann, your poems both lightened up my day brilliantly! Congratulations!

Best,
Jean

It dawns on me now that Chris O'Carroll's poem is one that had a very successful run in a past light verse bakeoff. Liked it then, like it now, Chris.
