I'll Cry If I Want To - If You Know Me - 15 hour quickie

If you do not know me, you have to know that crying is a big deal to me. I do not do it easily.

Also, if you know me, you know that I am a miracle person in that I should not have lived this long with all that almost interceded in my life.

If you know me you know that my tears are turquoise.

If you know me, you know I do not care for pity, pathos, predictable, or poems that are cliche...I love far-edge poetry.

If you know me.... here's the party place. The winners will be published, with permission, on my domain http://www.shewolfnative2.com and my companion 360 blog.

If you know me, you know, nothing horrible...everything's a gift and a lesson and why today is a good day for a good cry.

    Any day can be the day for a good cry. When I was younger, I used to cry at the drop of a hat. Now I know only certain things are worth crying about.

    Good luck with this contest. I may come up with something.
