I've heard a lot about Dreamwidth, and I like the idea of it, so I'm looking forward to exploring it a bit. For now, I'll just post the poems I wrote for [personal profile] nova in trade for the invite code she gave me!   She specifically asked for pantoums.  The first is a response to the prompt she gave, "Tell me why you want it, in the form of a poem 5-lines or more."  The second is built using lines from random Dreamwidth journals (usually first lines, but I used artistic license in a few cases) in the order I found them. I used the Random Journal link on the Dreamwidth homepage.

I need only a code
A message in cypher, decrypted says "Welcome"
Here, the depth and width and height of dreams
Thoughts interpreted as words interpreted as pixels

A message in cypher, decrypted says "Welcome"
No Statue of Liberty at the gate, but still
Thoughts interpreted as words interpreted as pixels
Are both free and precious

No Statue of Liberty at the gate, but still
Strangers without faces become new friends and
Are both free and precious
A thousand thousand words exchanged

Strangers without faces become new friends and
Weave a knotwork net around the earth
A thousand thousand words exchanged
Speak truth which lips will never voice

Weave a knotwork net around the earth
Reach out
Speak truth which lips will never voice
Transform each other into significance

Reach out
Here, the depth and width and height of dreams
Transform each other into significance
I need only a code

Because this journal operates
I know the borderlines we drew between us
There's nothing like getting an e-mail

Because this journal operates
In a shitty tenement building on the Upper West Side
There's nothing like getting an e-mail
I am involved in a war of the subversive spoons

In a shitty tenement building on the Upper West Side
This is a lovely thing.
I am involved in a war of the subversive spoons
No one spoke to me

This is a lovely thing.
Been having a terrible migraine from the heat
No one spoke to me
