FreeVerse: in the year i loved your mother
Cara has taken a hiatus from blogging, but we seem to have convinced her to write up a bunch of FreeVerse posts and schedule them in advance. So yay for FreeVerse and boo on busy lives that keep people from blogging.

FreeVerse: Grecian Temples
My FreeVerse is coming a day late this week. I spent a few days on the Washington coast and when I got back yesterday afternoon, I had over 350 spam comments to wade through, and that sort of burned me out on blogging for the day.

FreeVerse: Daughter
UPDATE: I have found, what one of my friends, mentioned below, and I think is the correct version of this poem. There seem to be several floating around on teh internets, and we believe it is because she performs it often.

FreeVerse: Renascence
Last week I posted a very long poem, written by me, when I was 16 for FreeVerse. Today I posting a very long poem written by someone when she was 17 who went on to become a famous poet (do I have to mention that I am not such a one?)

FreeVerse: Christmas Music: 1999
Remember last month when I posted that tribute to Book Bloggers for FreeVerse, that was a spin-off of The Violent Femmes’ “American Music?” And remember how I said that it wasn’t the first time I’d used that song in poetry before?
