These are my first attempt at shaped text.  View in Monaco 9


    
                day is 
             here at last
           dawn has come to 
          the world in fiery 
          ribbons of ice and
          flame gleaming and
           shining with the   
             first echoes
               of bird
       
song. The bright     rays of the rising
 sun on the dark    ocean are as beautiful
as the glowing       horison as the sky
  grows lighter       by the minute. Colors
 soon fade but       like the trail of
sun in the blue       water, still traces
   of gold can         be found in the
early morning         sky.  The birds
    break into         song as the golden
  disc of the         sun slowly rises
higher forever         and the earth spins
   on its own          journey through the
              heavens.

Please keep by - line intact.  P_L_E_A_S_E?

I made the water part uneven on purpose, to
 simulate the waves effect. Also I did the
first and second D lower case on purpose to
 help round the circle.(they were supposed
to be capital)  Not that anything comes out
 the way it's supposed to in ascii art.  I
suppose that's the thrill. ;-) I like doing
 this shaping text thing so much, I'm even
doing it in thes explanation paragraph!!!!!


          ????????????????????
          I wish I could think
          What to do next. You
          see that this is not
          really as hard as it     ste...@eWorld.com
          looks.  I'm not even     <<standard sig here>>
          trying now.  I guess     please keep by - line
          it must've become my     intact. Thanks a lot!
          second nature, since
          I have not even been
          trying at all for so
          long a time. Oh well
          !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

             Love   to a
           beloved friend,
            on Valentines
             Day, in the
              year 1995
               Kisses,       Ste...@eWorld.Com
                Guess        please keep this line
                 Who         intact no matter what
                  !


                I am looking for
                 some roses for
                  putting into
                   this vase,
                    but alas
                  I can't find
               any at this moment
              so it will just have
             to wait until I 'phone
             the florist or someone
             like that. No wait can
              I email her? I can??
               Oh, joy! Joy! Joy!
                I dont think the
                 florist's open
                  today, which
                   is why its
                 much better if
             I can email her.  Then
I will know the order got in and some roses will be
coming sometime soon, like tomorrow or the next day
or some                                    where in
that           Ste...@eworld.com           time
frame.         do not remove by-line          Good!
Maybe                                         it is
possible we can get somewhere now. Maybe.  Or is it
Hopeless?                                     Maybe.
Only                                            one
way                                             too
find                                            out.
