  2. I have ignored the point of departure. I advise legal action against me. But I have written an 8 line triolet. <<example of redundancy.

  4. Alas, I am as deserving as fireblossom to be subject to legal action. ;) I completely missed the point of departure.

  5. Thanks for hosting today, Kerry. A Tree by Kilmer was the first poem besides Nursery Rhymes that I ever memorized, first grade I think. My picture I took this morning, without Picasa and using a screen print, it is rather course. I may change it as it is hard to read Snoopy's Change cartoon.

  6. A very cool prompt. Yay! This was the first poem I loved, when I was eight.

  7. I remember quoting this poem when I was six for some school play. I still remember it to this day. I think many of us are going to use the mea culpa excuse today for leaving a poem that doesn't fit the prompt. Perhaps if we read the prompt first instead of just dropping a poem? thank you Kerry for taking the time to give us a lovely prompt.

  9. I love this poem, Kerry - it's a good choice! I've been out all day, bouncing and rhyming at the library, drinking coffee with a friend and choosing new glasses, so I've just got round to writing a little poem. I'll see you all on the trail!

  18. So many links...that's encouraging to see! I am making my way around as best i can. I don't like to read too many consecutively...I get cross-eyed and don't know what I am reading after about 5 poems, so I visit, leave, come back.
