1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    Triangles of half-open doors
    Reveal all the truth that is hidden:
    Just condoms and cans on the floor,
    Black papers with verses, forbidden -
    Unfinished remakes of the song,
    Deprived of the right to speak loud
    Of wicked intentions gone wrong -
    Erasers have muffled the shout.

    The only illusion-proof mind -
    A poet, the voice of despair,
    Sincere, the one of this kind
    Throws verses far into the air
    Right there, in a dirty old flat
    Among once great talents, now rotten.
    They all have deserved more than that,
    But even their names are forgotten.

    I really like it. Very gritty, my kind of poem.
