What Makes Me Smile - Not for Contest

       When someone can forego
         her id and ego

       publishing poems of her friends
         to heal those on the mend 

      Her name, of course, our very own
         a most gracious lady ~ Karen Jones

       Check out Karen's description of her
       'What Makes Me Smile 2' contest,
        and you'll see what I mean!
                Bravo, Karen!
