The challenge in my mind is so much more about being led to write a poem than being led by the nose by a form, so thanks so much for feeling free to experiment and be creative. I love the line about fortune's weary pinwheel, as well as the one Brian quoted.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-29628739224816992082013-08-25T13:14:49.200-05:002013-08-25T13:14:49.200-05:00I love your road of patchwork dreams.. so magical....I love your road of patchwork dreams.. so magical.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-38590517657062729652013-08-25T12:38:43.795-05:002013-08-25T12:38:43.795-05:00the well traveled road of patchwork dreams....we d...the well traveled road of patchwork dreams....we dont all know our fates, only that the cards will fall...and hopefully not the house on our heads....pedalling hard does no use though, it catches up to all of us...smiles.Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-49205199097439161592013-08-25T12:27:38.796-05:002013-08-25T12:27:38.796-05:00fine piece, Susie! love how you do the Fibonacci h...fine piece, Susie! love how you do the Fibonacci here :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
