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

    Bleeding desert sun,
    sea of white sand.
    A man lives,
    In a rock cave,
    Has a long beard,
    Speaks.
    "Beware crazy people dwell here".
    He has a bone in his hand.
    "Beware for the sun".
    He has no clothes.
    "Beware for the water".
    Blood dripping from his lips.
    "I am not a man".
    Crazy man.
    "I am a leaf"
    There are no trees.
    "The wind has no purpose"
    Where is this place?
    "You tell me".
    I awake.

    very nice.
    I wrote a poem about an old artist dying in the desert, a long time ago.




    a shiny light,​
    something to bite ​
    before he imbibes all the small vials​
    of primary paints​
    and black ​
    runs down the mouth​
    of a desert.​
    crawled​
    through all the prickly chins . . ​
    coming to a shady end ​
