Nice to meet you. <br /><br />Thanks for responding to my post. I know a lot of peeps aren't crazy about writing exercises, but I find it makes me think when otherwise I'd rather not. Seeing how this is my third week blogging, I thought it would also be a good way to arouse interest and meet people.<br /><br />Thanks again. I'll check you out on yalitchat, and your poem is just fine. :)S.A.
