January Activity Featuring--The Brevette--Hosted by Jack Horne--England

Dear Writing Friends,

It was a delight to read your Brevette poems today.  The form was developed by Emily Romano, a talented short verse writer.  I hope those that participated found this a enjoyable experience.  Thank you, contributors, for sharing your thoughts in different perspectives.

Special thanks to Jack Horne, Whispers' Activity Features Editor, for gathering our poems and for making the opportunity possible.  I hope you enjoy this garden of poetry.

Sincerely,

Karen O'Leary
Whispers' Editor
