Francine Roberts's Blog
 There really isn't much to tell that hasn't been covered in my poetry. Love this site, love the new friends I've made. I am a single woman, work full time, family grown and on their own. When I was in highschool all I wanted to do was write. Life got in the way. Now I have all the time I need to indulge my passion.

Only 4 days to go until I close my contest, this will be the only contest of the dozens I've sponsored that did not reach the required amount of entries, hmmm. I must be losing my touch. If you are still planning to enter you are running out of time. I will not be extending the time. I will just judge what I have ( only 18 at the moment). Please remember this is a humorous contest, I want to laugh out loud at your poem.
