Hey that is a good one. Steve in Stevens County

My cats and I think your poem is lovely. (In the fourth line, what is the word that begins with f? It shows strange symbols here.)

I hate those strange symbols! It refers to the gentle breeze of the fan...

Lilod, luv the poem. I see the strange characters in your post. You_are_not_alone. Lol, look at the link below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Star Wars?

There is apparently no way to determine what any given computer reads as far as symbols go.
Wording that line: "In the gentle breeze of the fan" of course would have ruined the rhythm of the whole poem and would have made it just a paragraph.
I copied it from my notes in Works, I think that is the trouble, have to put it in notepad.
Just as an experiment, I will copy it to notepad and post it again, see what happens

A L:ittle Poem for Cats

Lying on the bed
Ruminating
Lovely thoughts appear
In fan�s gentle breeze
Jasmyn lands
Scatters thoughts like frightened mice
Purrs

Didn't work

Lilod, I looked at the source code for your GW post, and the characters are actually in the source code.I don't how they ended up in the source code.

lilod, is this the way you wanted it to read?

Yes, that's it,

I'm typing the line this time:

The fan's gentle....

I guess it's best to type my messages and quotes and all and spell-check and proof-read Oh well

No matter, Lilo. Your poem was lovely--purrfect, in fact.

lilod. I like your poems and it drives me nuts when the computer gremlins goes and messes up.
