My mother and father, taught me about power, words and inspiration, courage, strength and passion, wish it could be bottled, because all are entitled, dad gave me the forest, mom- her garden terraced. ____________________________ March 8, 2020 Poetry/Alexandrine Modified/I Was Taught Copyright Protected, ID 20-1237-021-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted into Strand Choice J sponsor, Brian Strand Honorable Mention

Excellent use of this short form, Constance. Your admiration of your parents shines through! "Words and inspiration" give an indication where your love of poetry was first ignited. A lovely tribute ~ John

Charlie, thank you for the love, my father had a great love for nature and taught me all he knew about the forest and the animals within, my mother knew about flowers, all the latin names etc, and taught me everything she knew, so yes that last verse really does sum it up _Constance
