From the Archives—One Line Moments—Featuring Sandra Stefanowich, Anne Curran, Beth Winchcombe, Elizabeth Howard, Phyllis Babcock, Jack Horne, and Barbara Tate

I thought I would showcase poems from one of Whispers’ activities for this months’ From the Archives column.  Poetry is a journey we should enjoy.  Although these activities aren’t meant to create perfect poems but more of an opportunity for writers of all levels can enjoy and grow, I am always amazed at the level of poetry these challenges inspire.  Special thanks to Sandra Stefanowich, editor for the original column, and to all the participants.  This is just a sample from the column.  I hope to feature more writers in the months ahead. 

Sincerely,

Karen O’Leary—Whispers’ Editor
