From
Wikipedia:
A broadside is a large sheet of paper printed
on one side only. Historically, broadsides were posters, announcing events or
proclamations, or simply advertisements. Today, broadside printing is done by
many smaller printers and publishers as a fine art variant, with poems often
being available as broadsides, intended to be framed and hung on the wall.
Once handed out on street
corners, it seemed right to update the broadside form for our electronic age's street
corner - the web.
I'm excited to introduce you to A
VISION AND A VERSE, a new e-Broadside. Four to six times a year, I'll
showcase one of my images along with a featured poem of mine, matching them on
a seasonal or timely theme. Launching on today's perigee or super Full Moon, (a
Super Moon occurs when a Full Moon is closest to the earth) this inaugural
issue celebrates that natural phenomenon.
A seasonal celebration and a sharing of my creative process, I hope you'll want
to subscribe to future broadsides.

Warm Regards,
Full Wesak Moon, calm
Buddha flower, gracious face
chased by fickle clouds.
