I do lots of poetry, actually, with Rhian's Poetry Train. Well, not lots. But enough.
Come on over and search for poem; you'll find neat stuff.
Man, Bonnie, you're making this too hard on me. Pick one? One? ONE?? Are you nuts? I happen to like my poetry!
Here are three (I'm a bit math-impaired) that form a series:

Thanks to all of you for taking part. One thing that's different about this site is that we have given ourselves permission to post to ANY of the words, the newest one or the oldest or any in between, at ANY time we have something to say. So feel free to look over the older words, if you are interested.
I never thought of myself as a poet, but occasionally some thoughts appear...
like these about my father's funeral...
remembrance
Hi Bonnie,
I'm in with a response to your word. How could I not be?!
