Well, well, well! I'm a poet and didnt know it. Giggle.

Carmon suggested we try our hand (pen) at writing some poetry and I promptly dismissed the idea.

But while catching up on Sherry of Semicolon, I discovered a neat website to encourage my poetic instincts. Lo and behold, there is such a thing as a list poem.

Really now?

Then I remembered Carol of Magistramater, who writes very well. Routinely she posts some compelling lists....I just didnt recognize it as poetry.

It is so true that we can *learn something new everyday*

So, does my poem need a title?
