At first, posting poems here can be a bit daunting but after a while, you see that others do care and will offer positive encouragement. Best of all is improving our writing and knowing that we are all sharing what we have learned from each other. :) <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-545534591421969772016-03-11T19:10:11.329-05:002016-03-11T19:10:11.329-05:00Thank you, Lewis, your kind and generous words are...Thank you, Lewis, your kind and generous words are much appreciated.ADELE KENNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556261298519747516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-11516531396431274042016-03-11T19:09:34.266-05:002016-03-11T19:09:34.266-05:00Thank so much, Sandy, for your kind words.Thank so much, Sandy, for your kind words.ADELE KENNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556261298519747516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-33682158578535275242016-03-11T19:08:57.031-05:002016-03-11T19:08:57.031-05:00Thanks so much for your comment, Amita!Thanks so much for your comment, Amita!ADELE KENNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556261298519747516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-55554035174761393232016-03-11T16:01:43.202-05:002016-03-11T16:01:43.202-05:00I agree, Sandy.
