I first came across Spatherdab in January of 2008 and have been an adoring fan ever since. The poem linked above is the best poem I have ever read by anyone.
spatherdab is an obscure, almost forgotten, old english word meaning chatterer, gossip, scandal-monger; “a woman who goes from house to house dispensing news.” since i have spent 30 years as a sports journalist whose pressbox chatter was dispensed house to house (thanks to another obscure, soon-to-be-forgotten entity, the newspaper carrier); and since i intend to use this space for chatter, gossip and scandal-mongering — not to mention rants, poems, scathing observations and anything else that explodes out of my cranium — it seems a more than fitting handle.
Theme: Vigilance by Jestro
so few words
filled with so much meaning
and the pics look so inviting

That’s one of my favorite moments on this planet…when I get to stand on the edge of the vast ocean and have its waves wash away my troubles. Beautiful haiku, and I loved your photos!
That’s what I call a great feeling.
Makes me wish I could step into the ocean right now.
your photos support your words completely.
wonderful and powerful that water.

Love that feeling. Had it this weekend in Door County.
Lovely writing! So simple, and the photos add so much. Perfect!
I can feel the sand wash out from under my feet – neat photos and thoughtful words!
settling deeper into the mystery as the tide flows in and out. your words and photos carried me there.
i could feel the rush of cool salty waters washing me clean….
Or the ground beneath us that was never solid anyway.
Lovely poem. Thanks.
Thanks everyone. I’m not doing OSI this week.
