Like the Lambda Sigma Chi Crest? It makes a great screensaver for computer background. Just click on the image above and save it to your hard drive of your computer as you would a photo. With the right software, you could use the design for a free T-shirt transfer that you can iron-on to a clean bright-colored top for the summer. Now that’s cool! You could use the image for a custom-made mouse pad from the drug store. For more free downloads go to Free Poetry Poster with words and photos from The World of Words by Elias Tobias.
In other news about the Lambda Sigs, Brother Christopher Benedict had sponsored a new candidate to become a member of the unofficial fraternity. He is sponsoring Levi Jacobs, a funeral director in Kerrville, Texas., in the central part of the state. Benedict was attending a friends’ funeral in late February 2010, at Jacobs and Sons Funeral Home, and was approached by Levi with a folder of poetry. A three- member committee, Elias Tobias, Bill Kelso and Karl Dobson, will conduct a background search and interview within the next few months and the entire present membership will vote on the candidate.

“Wild Words” Theme for May
The theme of poetry for the month of May 2010 is “Wild Words,” for all daily posts, including the Poem of the Month below. In May different varieties of wild flowers seem to pop up in the most unlikely of places, and bloom into beautiful elements of the landscape. Words, like the seeds of the wild flowers, are buried under the winter’s snow and April’s rain storms set in motion a growth process with poetry all over the place. Once captured in permanent form, these poetic version of wild flowers will always be available at The World of Words by Elias Tobias.
Brown Eyes
I saw her again today.
It’s been a long time.
Her eyes smiled as she
nodded at me behind
the library window.
I had to smile back.
The light of excitement
was reflected in her eyes.
Maybe she saw something
that I didn’t think ever
existed inside me before.
