It’s amazing how if you work at it, you can find the right words to fit no matter what number of syllables are required 🙂

I know! It’s so interesting to try them out. I like the ones with syllable constraints the best. Like flash fiction it teaches one to be more concise and to consider alternate words to express your point. 😊

Writing poetry is like doing crossword puzzles for me. A way to keep my brain focused. 😊

I have never thought of it that way. I can tell they are fun for you to write – but for me they are difficult to write.
