Hey – just messaging to make you aware of my competition, I really value everyone who decided to follow my blog (there may be one or two I fear who just spilt coffee on themselves and accidentally clicked the button.. but I’m still taking it as a win). I need help deciding which poems to perform in the next month or two and I’d really value your opinion.
Stay Well – Mart

Thanks for the follow. Impressive blog – it’s challenging to write in these strict forms. Good luck to you! The world needs more sonnets. And French toast.
I want to thank you for following “A Way With Words.” My joy in writing is made more complete when people read what I’ve written (and even more as they respond).
While I write primarily about faith and mental illness, I’m known to dabble in other subjects and stories and even and occasional poem. If you have any request, please contact me.
I appreciate your unique perspective and poetic efforts here and look forward to reading more in the days ahead.
Gratefully,
Tony Roberts
