POETS AND OTHER WRITERS...
Sharmilla and Asha's Entertainment Page. Sharmilla and Asha are sisters who live in Malaysia, and it seems to be their interest in reading and Sharmilla's poetry that got them into the WebRing. They have adopted a great many creatures from Enchanted Hollow as well. Their links are to a variety of Hollywood, Music and Book links and a number of Cyber Greetings sites. Sharmilla is part of the 2,836 sites on the Poetry Webring, which we visited in Leap 1:
TruPoetry. This is poetry by Jeremy Truax, and written with True feelings and emotions. He now has 7 Sections, with 5 books, and people can sign up for his mailing list and get his poetry as soon as he writes it. He has written 148 poems as of the day I first leaped in. (only 6396 hours to 2000). Jeremy is a senior at Kamiak High School in Mukilteo, Washington, on the eastern shore of Puget Sound, 20 miles north of Seattle, where he is president of the Computer Club. He has an extensive humor archive and links to Search Engines and SciFi/Fantasy Writing Workshops, among other areas. Whatthehell, there are almost 3000 sites on the Poetry Ring; let's hit another:
MoonKyst. Also known as Edith. MoonKyst is 14 years old and in 9th Grade. She is a very experienced webmistress and links to her previous efforts (quite good, all of them) at web pages. Her purpose for the current page is that she is proud of who she is becoming.
YOU GO, MOONKYST!
I just had to share this logo of hers; I love it! |  |
She wants to one day help people as a Nurse Practitioner and Social Worker, studies cultuer and religion and is a vegetarian. She is over her TITANIC obsession, but links to pages about that with other favorite movies. She studies karate and is in band, so I hope she'll visit some of the other people I've met on previous leaps. The first listed of her more recent additions to her WebRings is the Open-Minded Intelligent Teens Ring, with 61 sites:
| A Lonely Place of Dying. "Raphaela" (her Tripod name) has an extensive site. She, like many teenagers, is searching her soul and has found a very good creative outlet with the Web. She lives in California and enjoys visiting and photographing graves in cemetaries. There is a very interesting section in which she talks about a murdered classmate, too. Leaping to one of the 409 sites on the GeekGirls Ring, I meet: |  |

Angel , who also goes by "Kayla", a 16 year old high school student in Tennessee, who has just returned from her first trip to Europe. Actually, the title of her Website is "Never Broken", which she explains. This site has an excellent layout and is one of the easiest to get around that I've seen. Out of the 53 sites from the "Learn to be a Stranger" webring, I was sent to:
 | away from the maddening crowd, run by Mia BeautifulFountain. Mia is 18, lives in Helsinki and is about to graduate high school. Her most recent entry in her journal was the day I leaped in (April 12). Another writer, she writes of some very deep thoughts but retains her air of mystery. She confesses to being an ICQ addict. Again, a unique concept in design -- very much a labyrinthe, but a fascinating one. From the "Lives Written" WebRing, a Ring of 140 members, each with an on-line journal, I leap now to: |

Silently Screaming. This is an on-line journal of Alla, a separated 23-year-old woman who lives near New York. Most of the Journal takes place from Spring 1997 until January 1999. While she has not updated her journals, what she has put up a message board where she answers questions. I didn't read the journals, but her cast of characters (friends, lovers, etc.) is quite interesting. From the first of her listed WebRings, Open Pages (816 sites), I leaped to:
