I feel very blessed to be a part of this amazing writing group:) I thank my friend John for giving me the “shove” to join. I really enjoyed poetry in high school and for the first few years out of school. Then life just kind of got in the way. But now I feel I am immersed in my writing again. I have learnt so many new styles of poetry already and feel like I have grown as a writer during this challenge. I thoroughly enjoy reading everyone’s poems and think I have found a group of kindred spirits:)
