I wanted to challenge myself to write a poem each day. Also, I am participating in the Carnegie Center’s Poetry Gauntlet. My instructor, Sean Corbin, encouraged us to participate.
Well, I always do. &, I like reading everyone else’s poetry. I am always surprised by the variety of voices and their eloquence—reminds me there is always something to write about!
