Dear Writing Friends,
I appreciate all those who have opened the pages of Whispers this month. Each poem submitted, each

honor to share contributors’ poetry with you.

The Netherlands! We blend together

Dear Maurice,

Thank you, Annie Jenkin, for the following--
ReplyDeleteMay I add my heartfelt thanks to Karen, Inge and Jack. You inspire, encourage and motivate us all by reading our words. Then further motivate with activities and the poems each create yourselves.
I still consider myself a new writer. I don't judge in years but in the writing of poetry. I learn so much from seeing others work, the words used, how they are structured and story each tells. It is amazing how words, carefully created, continuously offer so much to us all. We are blessed to belong to the Whispers family and I would nudge and ask you to keep writing.
I hope you can do this for me Karen
God bless
Annie
Dear Annie,

Karen
