just wanted to say

I am so astounded how my 2 little lines
have got such a reaction not just from
one or two or even a handful of poets
here on the corner but from everybody

I am so deeply touched by the

poetry that was created
poets who created them

this little challenge has brought us to a different level, far more
important then friends and family but has brought us on a level
of solidarity, unity.
2 little lines and so many, oh so many brilliant inspired poetry that was created from this challange.

each and every one of you

THANK YOU!!!!

My dearest Kickit, I might add: Indeed you got my brain on the overdrive. Like I said, it is so POERFUL AND POTENT it can lead to so many direction. I am still writing and I think I will dedicate a BOOK and I will title it: "KICKIT'S REVVING MOOD".

Anyways what is so rare is the exploding substance of the act of WALKING A THOUSAND STEPS ON A CROCKED FENCE. it depicgts some sort of commitment to do so, why? there goes the reasons. It is in this question I asked the first time I read it that got me into so many WILD, I mean really wild direction. then CROCKED FENCE. Why crocked? why not straingt? and why on a fence, why not on the trail or some sort of road?

Anyways, my dearest Kick, I have so far written 13 different pieces attributed to your TWO POWERFUL, FAMOUS LINES.

Thanks so much.

Your friend

oh dear windy,

I think everybody can relate to a crooked fence, that is why this has been over whelmingly successful. it represents boarders, barriers, life's struggles of a unbalanced journey in one's life, it represents humbleness and success of reaching the end a crooked fence climbs mountains and crosses into and over creeks and ponds, and most important it represents a string of journy whhen one finishes the end it gives them something to look back on and reflect what it took them to finish the one thousandth step.

Hi GNJ4U

Thank you!!! dear for your participation in this 2 line challenge
but you know what is funny. I was looking back and I was trying to count how many times my 2 lines changed..
my original 2 lines were suppose to be as follows

A thousand steps
walking along a crooked fence

but when i posted it, it came out

A thousand steps
walking a crooked fence

but then when i done my take on it, I wrote in my version

A thousand steps
along a crooked fence..

geess not sure what going on in my heart or mind..

The challenge was nothing less than 'inspiring' - You got the inspiration started, but with each and every submission, the inspiration greW, grEW, gREW, and continued to GROW! It was like watching a well planted garden!
You, Mike - tilled the fertile soil of the mind, the creative seeds of poets far and wide began to germinate, the result was a beautiful harvest of original creativity with color, texture, warmth, humor, imagination, and depth. In the end, we were all privileged to sit around the overflowing cornucopia partaking of the fruits that were so abundantly harvested and unselfishly shared. An awesome experience indeed!! Thanks Mike!!!
