Dedicated To Constance

.
                                    < I've dutifully turned to page~ ~ ~ ~ten>

                                            And commented on her posting,

                                      "Whispers in The Wind" ****romanticism,

                                Just one of the rules ~ ~ ~ ~ of contest she's hosting.

                                            So what is next? **** I've centered
       
                                                 And also **** double spaced.

                                   "Oops" ~ ~ ~ ~ I held the space bar down too long

                                                 And now I'm crimson faced.

                                        She commands it be ten lines **** or more

                                                     Not one rule may I miss.

                                            So now I think ~~~~ perhaps I'm done.

                                                          I'll sign it with a kiss.

                                            It's new of course****only Constance

                                             Could inspire a gem****like this.
                                                                 <.>

Soup Mail isn't working. I'll try to post the centering technique on Constance's blog. I kept getting an error message trying to put it in here. Love, Carolyn
