OOOOh I'm back. This took 15 years.

A lot of the US is experiencing record cold temps. In my area, we came close to equaling a fifty-year-old record for longest cold snap. I don't remember the last time we were above freezing, and temps in the 20sF felt like a heat wave this week. Sadly, it's going to get worse before it gets better. This weekend is on track to be the coldest temps yet, along with good ol' lake effect snow. Is it spring yet? Our local groundhog said it would be an early spring, but I don't believe him.

Like our Poetry Anthology theme this year - Choices - you can choose to give it a go and see how it turns out. Many people think of things like sonnets, ballads, iambic pentameter, and rhyming when it comes to poetry. Meter, form, and structure, oh my! Some of these forms intimidate even seasoned poets. But we don't need to be Shakespeare to express ourselves. Start simple.
