My own quote for the Two Line Quote Poetry Contest of Rick Parise.

When I started writing poetry in 2000, I didn't know about places like RhymeZone online. I rarely used a computer then. I had a really nice book that gave so many rhymes, which helped me when I searched for something not ordinarily found in a rhyming poem. Today I just go to Synonyms of words to find good substitues for words that don't fit my meter. I think all poets would benefit by using these useful kinds of tools from time to time.

Andrea, these tools do help. Especially as we age!!! We're lucky we have aides and aids. It just makes us look and do better. Take care! Smiles!

Dear Andrea, yes, indeed! Love your thoughts here. My old thesaurus still sits at my desk, though mostly as a memento nowadays since I can't bear to part with it. Congratulations for your success in Rick's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
