    2. You had me worried! I'm not planning on writing daily poetry. It's just that I couldn't NOT write today! We'll see how life and time transitions.

  3. This is great! I walked in to school today and felt so strange when I realized I wasn't going to blog today. Doing something for 32 days in a row sure makes it part of your life!
