Red Writing Hood

This week we're going to switch gears and write a little poetry. Writing poetry helps us work on cadence and rhythm which can make for better fiction.  So by flexing our poetry muscles, we can in turn create more fluid fictional pieces.  Please write a narrative poem that focuses on the workings of a family, whether it be your own or one that you've created from scratch.  Good luck!

  10. I was hoping the next one would be poetry! However, this week SUCKS for me. My mom's in the hospital and my dad is sick @ home and I have a toddler. I am running ragged and stressed to the max. If I can find the time, I will definitely try my hand at this. If not, I hope they'll be another poetry meme down the line...
