Thanks for the inspirational poem. Love...Mary Lee,<br />Thanks for the inspirational poem. Loved this, "Every day they<br />tack improbable word onto im-probable word, out of love, children,<br />out of a desire to emend the world." I have joined the crazy madness of SOLSC. I just needed a push right now and this is working out splendidly so far. Who knows, maybe I'll be in such a routine I'll just join the 30 day poetry quest next month. <br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-82568346264950646522012-03-04T09:52:27.647-05:002012-03-04T09:52:27.647-05:00I'm not actually a fan of experimental fiction...I'm not actually a fan of experimental fiction, in general, but I do love this poem!

I'm participating for the first time. I hope I can keep up with daily posts. I'm really enjoying reading what everyone is writing. I signed up for the March Madness poetry challenge too and I'm a little worried I may have overextened myself. I guess we'll see!
