Wow, congratulations Anne. Good that you are able to make it. I love poetry too but it seems poetry doesn't love me. Haha

Hey, thanks, Joy! I used to say that to myself, too, and pretty much hid every poem I wrote. But it's always worth a try.:))

Joybumz said...

Yeah. When I was a kid, I used to make poems. Though now I have some ideas, it's my laziness that stops me from writing. Hehe. Well, maybe I could try it next time. So for you, keep it up!

Yes, indeed laziness might be a writer's (or any artist's for that matter) worst enemy. It's just as much about discipline as it is inspiration, I guess. :)
