Aviation Poetry's Hall Of Fame Honor Roll

Poetry is imaginative literature made incarnate." -Billie Lovelady


STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
APHOFHR is unlike many other fields in the humanities. It is composed
solely of famous aviation poets who have written of their own or
other’s flying experiences in striking verse. There are never any
membership dues, solicitations for money, advertisements, fund raisers
or other financial schemes associated with the APHOFHR. Such funding
is neither needed, nor accepted, as it is a totally self-sufficient,
not-for-profit enterprise. The APHOFHR is beneficent with the single
object in mind to honor a select few who have excelled in writing
unique aviation poetry deemed worthy enough to be passed to posterity
for generations to come. It serves for the useful enjoyment of those
who fly or dream of flight.

Good Site

Yes. The Aviation Poetry's Hall Of Fame web site's content is worth a
visit. Perhaps it will inspire those with latent talent for poetry to
create something.

BUT Why do People Put "music" on their web sites. Grr

It may have been, that the site's art director chose to attempt to set
a mood of tranquility through the use of lilting music and a slow,
smooth scrolling page. But the garish color scheme gives away the
probable fact, that it was just an artless HTML coder who thought he'd
display his programming perspicacity through gimmickry?

Good Site BUT Why do People Put "music" on their web sites. Grr

That site is annoying in so many ways, I couldn't stand it after a
couple of minutes -- even though I'm a big fan of aviation poetry.

The cheesy music...the auto-scrolling...the font choices. Yech.

Great idea, though! They just need to tone it down.

jh sites.

It's a good concept, terrible site (execution).

The music. Rule 1 for a website, no unexpected sounds, Rule 2, no
sounds you can't turn off.

The #$@(* scrolling. WTF? And the easy-to-miss message about how to
stop it.

The hugely long single home page. Hey! It's not 1993 anymore! Try
links to other pages, one poem on a page...with, like, an index!!!!!
