Each month, she issues a theme and style, and gives us a couple of days to scamper off, write a poem, post it to our blogs, then share amongst ourselves on Thursday. As Robin says, it’s not [...]
From time to time, I plan to post some of the poetry, short stories and journal entries I’ve written over the years and that I feel are worth sharing. This is the second such entry. For the first, click here.
Today, I want to share a poem I first wrote about ten years ago. It’s been [...]
