    I began my poetic journey at age fourteen writing only rhyming poetry. My journal entries since I was sixteen had free verse but I felt free verse was a more personal way of writing poetry. Sometimes I really feel the need to go back to my literary roots. This challenge will surely afford me that opportunity.

    All four of my children had their "naughty" days. And my grandchildren... LOL

    I am Bookmarking!


    I LOVE YOU LANEY! ♥ ♥
