You are a poet--especially If your works have been marketable. :-) Poetry is not that easy to sell; I know from experience. I appreciate your time and input.

I do dabble and have sold many poems, but I sure don't think I'm a poet. And you're spot on, Jennifer, when you say poetry fuels the passion for words.

When I was in my twenties, I wrote poetry constantly. That age was a dark time for me, so I had plenty to write about! Believe me! I still write poetry now, but not as often.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038918668619367960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-40895330849468258872012-04-23T14:58:53.335-07:002012-04-23T14:58:53.335-07:00Emily,

I was tutoring a 6th grader and we were working on various projects to help stretch her skills. We wrote limericks about sharks, and I must admit, it was rather fun. I appreciate poetry, but never thought of myself as a poet. I wonder if there is a market for shark limericks? :)Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.com
