I'd like to apologize to anyone who has viewed my "Sweet Endeavors" blog since I switched the theme.  I plan to keep the current theme but I have to darken the colors and make the fonts bigger.  It would be nice if the content could be read easily!  Sheesh!  

I'll be posting some of my poetry and art on that site in the near future.  A new feature right now will be a Poem Of The Day.  There will be no rhyme or reason as to the choice of poems other than that I like them and hope you will too.  There might be a vague theme at times, like seasonal or holiday poetry.  We'll see.  Once I have enough of them posted, they'll be sorted and presented by theme when you click on the category or tab link. 

When it comes to writing poetry, I like paring down words as much as possible, which is why I'm trying my hand at haiku, haibun, bio, cinquain, couplets, diamante, and the like.  If you're experimenting with these forms, I'd love to hear from you and read what you've written!  :)

Here's a little something for you to try.  This form of bio should be fairly easy for you and fun to post on your blog.  I've copied it from a post on Poetry Soup.

Bio A poem written about one self's life, personality traits, and ambitions.
