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.

My newest contest is posted. I am sick, sick, sick of this cold, snowy, rainy, foggy, downright miserable weather we are having . Today we never got above 0 degrees, supposed to improve as the week goes on and be a balmy 12 and sunny by Saturday ( methinks the weatherman smokes crack)... I digress.....Write me something about wanting to be rid of winter and yearning for Spring... lots of rules, check contest page for details. New poems only, no short forms, date on entry
