Nature's great
Nature's great

There is colour
there is sound
there are creatures
dancing around

There is music
there is rhythm
tiny things moving
though you can't see them

Nature's great
Nature's great

There is wind
there's snow and rain
and then there's sunshine
back again

There are mountains
there are valleys and lakes
ponds, streams, seashores
water don't sleep, it always wakes

Nature's great
Nature's great

Don't destroy the disco snails
don't destroy any creature
let's share our planet happily
with the miracle of nature

Nature's great

So many people have helped me here, it's difficult to know whom to pick.

My first pick has to be poignant. Unfortunately, SHERRI GIBSON is no longer with us, but I have to mention her. She reviewed the very first poem I posted on the very first day I joined, and from then till the day she passed away, she was there to help me.

She taught me how to b-item link. Believe it or not, it took an exchange of six emails for me to get it! (Hey, I was a newbie!). I once wanted to start a forum (which I didn't finally) but I discussed the idea with her and she was generous with her time and inputs. She was always ready to listen, ready to share, ready to help. I miss her.

Then, there's Dr M C Gupta who has helped me streamline my poetry writing. I could never get syllable counts correctly till he stepped in and actually edited some of my Team India poems written for Kiya's "Project Write World. Also, his own poems - always perfectly structured - are a lesson in how to meld form and content.

There's Maryann who runs "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group. She was one of my first friends here. In those days, it was 'Yellow' Power, and when I got promoted to Preferred, I hesitatingly asked if I could join. She welcomed me and her leadership style encouraged me to recruit people for the group and do more reviews myself. She was always there when I wanted to talk about something that happened on WDC that I didn't understand or needed a clarification on.

Like I said, just three? So many, many people have helped. The biggest thanks gos to SM and SMs for creating the site and making it this lovely place!

Physically, they were as comfortable as they could have been. The room was airconditioned, the sofa soft, the piped music playing a gentle tune. Yet all three of them were sweating. The sofa might as well not have been there, nobody was sitting on it. They were pacing, then stopping, then pacing again.

Reality shows, when real, were so different from when one watched them sitting on the sofa at home with the TV remote in hand. You couldn't switch to another channel here. You had to evaluate how you had performed in the task set and wonder whether you'd be the next to hear 'GOODBYE'. You had to prepare what you were going to say in your own defense.

The two men could be seen muttering to themselves. The lady's palms covered her mouth, but she was obviously muttering, too. Each was strategizing to pull themselves up - by bringing the other two down if needed. No holds barred.

In the boardroom, the first one pleading his case to the boss.

He talks about each of the twelve tasks so far, and his contribution to his team every time. Then, he brings out the best argument he has thought up. “I’m not like you.” he states, resolutely.

"You're right. You're not. GOODBYE."
