Even better (and so kind!): http://ncpoetlaureate.blogspot.com/2008/11/nicole.html I've been thinking this for a while anyway, but now since I might have a few more visitors, I want to post two definition poems I read at open mic this past wednesday (what a GREAT time that was!, even my hairdressers came!):
Rebound
In basketball
This is a good thing
But in dating
It doesn’t help
Attachment born
Of misery
Is not love
Teens
They are too young
To diet
To dye their hair
To wear short clothes
What habits
That may
Carry them into
Addictive adults
Short poems are definitely great for blogs!
I've received a lot of encouragement lately about a whole lot of things. Monday, I met a woman who is going to help edit my novel (that's a big announcement, for sure - I have about 40 pages (started this about 3 years ago) - but I am really thankful for people who want to trade writing). Wednesday was just amazing: 20 + people came to my open mic and I got to see some new friends' talents in major ways, which really inspired me. Last night, I met a woman who played electric violin in a band called Sugar in the Dirt. She had beautiful locks and taught me more about how to maintain mine on my own. I've been working on them even today (the ends) and they're looking great! (people are stopping me on the street as usual).
Thank you, kind world!

So exciting to read your work - and I saw your "published" poem as well (congrats!).
I'm proud to be your friend!
Done and done.
also, since 'Vilda' is the German pronunciation of course it sounds better :-)
