Country haven a bit of heaven

Kids spinning their way toward the stars

Round and round the lamp post like

Three living hands of a clock

Fireworks Exploding into mini supernovas

Belly dancer shimmying

Bent over backwards

Rainbows igniting 

Billowy Storm Clouds Appearing

Three letters, minutes or people added

People challenging whitewater

Then suddenly Disappearing and 

Some reappearing, but not all

I've often hoped there would be more ways to have some 'person to person' sharing in terms of making announcements, networking (maybe with a clip board available for people to list events with basic details or causes one is raising money for whether a non-profit, a tag sale, a 'personal request' in case there's room for barters or
