[Leica] LUGforms

[jbm at jbm.org (Jeff Moore)]

I'd like to drop a note
of appreciation
for the LUG posters whose written work I enjoy.

I've long enjoyed the stream-of-consciousness Beat poetry of Brother Rabiner,
and now I'm coming to appreciate the quiet ripples from the keyboard of
George Lottermoser.

Sometimes his posts seem like haiku,
sometimes like some form I can't identify
but don't need to categorize
to appreciate.

Sometimes it seems they should be set to music.
Maybe they are, in the author's head --
Lottermoser-lieder?
