Today is the twelfth day of the 18th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
BE INSPIRED
Writing a poem slice can be a great way of saying a lot with few words. If you haven’t tried it, look at Bob Hamera’s slice, “It’s Happening,” for inspiration. He shares two haiku along with images on his blog, arjeha.
