The teacher focused mostly on poetry and I feel like I learned a lot from her, but on my own, just me and poetry... LOL We don't do so well. I completely agree that poetry makes our prose better.

I've come to realize that poetry is the most concise of all writing.

That was a fantastic Acrostic which I enjoyed immensely. Second, thanks for mentioning me but I no longer have the She Poet blog. Too much craziness in real life has forced me to leave for awhile. I will frequent many of those who supported me, including yourself :) I do have another blog but don't know how often I will post there. <br /><br />lifeunchartered.blogspot.com<br /><br />Congratulations again!

I am a poet, mostly spoken word, but was encouraged by a friend, after a long drought, to start blogging as a way to start writing again. I have been nervous about posting my poems because I was unsure if they would be received well in blogs (that sounds silly now that I've been doing it, but I honestly thought that).<br /><br />You have been an inspiration. Thank you! I will get on it!Brittany Andresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326583254996862153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821039846301805207.post-80442498660557453172009-11-02T07:24:05.505-08:002009-11-02T07:24:05.505-08:00Wa-hoo!
