plein jeuA chorale of marigolds hummed Marigolds Marigolds.
.                            Marigolds.
Innuendos grow in clusters
.                                          and the clarinets
.            are so dark at the center.
Watching the end
never come, the limestone’s sedated pores
.            stretch open
their mouths, the foaming
drone of the ridgeline dripping
.                                             from their lips.
To know only sound and to know it    unhemmed.

–E.C. Belli,
plein jeu (2010)

    601041 655029Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or in the event you need to manually code with HTML. Im starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any assist would be greatly appreciated! 161906
