Dear Cindy and Rick,Cindy, your description of your volume of 101 poems on a shelf where you can see it whenever you enter your house is so touching. It's been years now since I've been able to read mine and I miss revisiting its wonderful variety of verse which touches the heart without need of explanation..
Is the collection of poems you are talking about edited by Roy J. Cook? My copy is copyright 1958 and says revised with a Prose supplement. I ask because I believe more than one collection of 101 poems have been collected , different selections with similar titles.
This is one beloved book I can't part with, but if you'd scan it,Rick, I'd send you a copy you could keep in a heart beat.
Always with love, Lissi----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

That is neat, and would certainly have come in handy for scanning this Kipling book. WOuld you be willing to scan One Hundred and One Favorite Poems? I have an old copy but I saw a new edition in the bookstore. It's a wonderful, small volume, and in my opinion every home should have it. It has adult and children's poems--like Little Orphant Annie and the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat--and other poems that everyone's heard of, if they haven't actually read or heard the poems. I'd be happy to validate it, or anyone else can who wants to. smile My volume is in a small bookscase set up in such a way that I see the book every time I enter the house--that one andA Child's Garden of Verses, which is already in the collection. smile Cindy Cindy --- Rik James <d28rik@xxxxxxx> wrote:Hi ya again, Before I forget, I was gonna mention this. In learning my K-1000 program, I learned of a neat thing for doing poetry. We had a thread on this subject a month or so ago, I think. The K-1000 program has a feature in the Settings under the Reading section. It is the area about LINE ENDINGS. You can Ignore them or Respect them. When you respect them, they stay as they are, as lines upon the page, rather than running together. This is just what we need to scan our poetry! I just finished doing an 86 page book of poetry and it turned out wonderfully. Of course you don't worry about centering it or any of that stuff. But keeping the lines in their proper position, that is what is essential. So when we read using a screen reading program, we just navigate line by line. Neat-o, huh? Thanks.
