I was just writing my post about how PF poets inspire me to try new things, and your poems surely do that. In the hubbub of conference week, I'd forgotten all about Tabatha's prompt from last week. Thanks for reminding me. I'm going to play around with it in the next few days.Molly Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975100905434379155noreply@blogger.com
