Oliver made me do it! Well, he suggested it, then Carol, Heidi and I recognized a good thing and joined. I appreciate being part of a worldwide search for new and wonderful poems. Here in the Seattle area the marathon starts at 6 am (earlier than my usual wake-up time) so I’ve set my alarm and plan an early bedtime. I have a pile of beautifully blank lined paper and pens set out. The idea of writing a one line poem is both a relief and a challenge, for I know that sometime during the day I have to go to my daughter’s house and feed her cats. I know that has to fit in sometime. Welcome, friends, to this joint quest!
