"Lisa, I am someone who loves extremes, so love this poem because it is so 'out there,' rugged and vibrant. You have not held back but fully expressed yourself with great detail and abandonment. Way to go!!!"

"Thanks, Amy. I will ponder that one and rethink the title. I agree the last stanza is weak and I think I need to strengthen the 3rd as well. I so appreciate the comments as you help me become a better poet!"

Hi, Lisa! Thanks for letting me know that the poetryNprogress article was helpful. Even after years of critique, I'm still learning the best ways to give and receive it. Here's to the learning process!

I just opened the door to the novelist group for you, Lisa - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!

Hi Lisa.  I saw your posting on the Educator page.  As a teacher/educator/parent I do hope you stay with teaching.  I'd love to hear more - come talk to me!  (We can chat on my blog or  on my She Writes page). Good luck!
