The fine folks over at GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) have gone and outdone themselves. GIMP 2.4 has recently been released in its stable version and is available for free download here. It's been available for a while, but the stable version hasn't been available (to my knowledge) until a few weeks ago. Either way, it's here now, and you should get it if you're looking for a powerful photo editing and graphic design software. You no doubt remember my previous entry on the GIMP about six posts ago.
Now for the true reason for this post. Pictured above is my current - and possibly your future - desktop background. I'd like to use it to introduce the first online diary for the masses contest for November, 2007. The person/persons who provide me with the author of the poem written above the tree will have bragging rights in the blogosphere. However, the winner will be the one who provides not only the person who penned the provided poem, but also the author of the original poem from which the provided poem was derived. The winner will be rewarded as generously as I'm possibly able to reward someone. Google is a permissible resource, however if you are able to answer it correctly without google... I'll come find you and hug you.
A hint: click on the picture above or you'll have a very hard time reading the poem.
An observation: it is very presumptuous of me to expect anyone to participate in this contest. Yet another example of how I make my blog out to be a much bigger deal than it actually is.

i did not know the author of the poem in your design, but i do know the original poet to to Joyce Kilmer.
i know i've only addressed half of your requirement, but i'm hoping that at least warrants a side hug.
ahem. "to be Joyce Kilmer"
joyce kilmer & odgen nash - i had to look up the odgen nash part. (thanks google)
I'm too late...shucks. my answers were the same...kilmer & nash.
it was fun watching the office last night.
d.o. i had no clue who the authors were, just wanted to say that your dedication to better blogging continually amaze me. i had no idea you were so into rss feeds, photo editing, or graphic design. you set the blog bar high my friend.
