Eastern Hemisphere
(Webleagues) Spirit Page

It is high time that I had an up to date spirit page so here it is. Let me pour out my praise to my team and the dedicated pair, BoomBoom and Karla, who keep it going. All images, poetry, and html on this page are wholly mine. The background is a charcoal drawing I sketched on construction paper, scanned at my aunt's workplace (Thankyou Aunt Thadea), and enhanced with PSP. The poetry is all Petrarchian sonnets. If you want to go back to the main page at L'Asile D'Haldis, please click here.




Time for the right attitude
Time to say what I mean
Time to cheer and laud this team
With some genuine gratitude.
Within a sonnet's latitude
For those behind the secnes,
I've been where you have been
Let me appreciate through and through
Those who set up
And those who score
Boom and Karla/East and Eastess
I'll praise you without let up.
And I'll tell you something more.
You are the very best.

Did you know the sun has eyes?
Travel east my friend toward it's bright rays
At the start of every day
Seek out the fiery sunrise.
Does something take you by surprise?
I'll tell you if I may
That this Eastern team just flies.
To keep a team going takes a gentle hand,
But often that is not enough,
Not if you want victory when you're done.
I hope all of you understand
That those who run our team our tough
Which make the Easterns number one!


A harp for me would have no use;
For I could not pick out a tune.
This humble verse will end quite soon.
A poor sonnet takes some abuse
Yet I cheer morning, night and noon
Crying like a silly loon
Never wondering what is the use
Of a cheer brayed at the moon
A mess of tortured words,
As tiresome as they seem,
That is what I give to you.
And so now you've heard
Me praise my Eastern team,
It's the best that I can do.
