I love that poem, it deserves it entirely.<br /><br />Yes, in the English class I teach at the community college, we have a big thing about commas and how the changing of placement in a sentence can completely change the meaning.<br /><br />One of my Facebook friends had this example last year:<br /><br />I already ate, Grandma.<br />or<br />I already ate Grandma.<br /><br />Ha ha.Julia Gordon-Bramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15682792436253939395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-30560184932453223882010-02-18T17:05:17.853-06:002010-02-18T17:05:17.853-06:00My favorite is the ballerina poem.

As with everything, the numbers were strong at first, and we met twice a month, then once a month and now it's monthly but only a handful attend. As long as someone is interested, I am willing to share my knowledge and allow them to share their work. I think I enjoy it as much as they do.Linda O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982895073903619018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-21537091539441602542010-02-18T13:24:22.016-06:002010-02-18T13:24:22.016-06:00I enjoyed reading your poems!

Now I find I am loving free verse. <br /><br />I would like to hear more about your senior writer's group too.Bookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043111213031211794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-22007790564792303022010-02-18T10:49:15.341-06:002010-02-18T10:49:15.341-06:00Loved the ballerina baby poem, Linda.
