Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small, log only container. You may need an extraction tool for the log, and Bring your own Pen.  Also, this is STRICTLY Dawn to Dusk.

Once upon a time, I sought to place a cache with a puzzle. I looked high and low, searched just over fifty puzzles of other people, thought of one more, and must have rejected seventy five. Nineteen days later, two ideas came to me.  One involved music, but the other was a spectrum of colors.. sixty five to be exact. And it worked!  I had my puzzle.


Poetry in motion.
Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
Poetry is lost in translation.
Poetry is.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you --like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist --or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
The poet is priest of the invisible.
Poetry has not been purpose, but passion.
Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality.
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those we have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these things.
