Re The Poetry Page - Updated
April 22 Update. I've taken down the Poetry Page, and am putting my Poem A Day Challenge poems in my private blog. If you're interested in reading them, please leave me a comment and I'll invite you to that blog. It was too messy to try to put them all on one Page.
Now that I've come entirely out of the Poetry Closet, and you know the secret vice I have practiced in that closet from the time I first learned to write, I will disclose that in my list of Pages in the sidebar to this blog there is a page called "Poetry." I posted some of my previous poetry on it, but then didn't have the nerve to show it in the Pages list. Now I have decided to use it for however many of these Poem A Day challenge prompts I can write something for. Days 1 and 2 have gone there, with some revisions; and Day 3 is also there. Day 3's prompt goes like this: "take the phrase "Partly (blank)," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make that the title of your poem, and then write the poem. For instance, your poem might be titled "Partly Cloudy," "Partly Crazy," "Partly Out of Touch," or whatever," Or whatever indeed. It was hard for me until I looked around my house with a open inner eye - and then it simply wrote itself.

So glad you are out of the closet. You must continue to stay out of the closet after April.
