Kim Merryman Biography
   Hi! My name is Kim Merryman. I was born April 27, 1959 in Louisville, KY but grew up in Rancho Cordova, CA.  My husband's name is Rob. We were married on May 30, 1981 and we have two grown sons named Daniel and Matthew, and a black cat named Max.

    I currently live in Niceville, FL located in the Florida Panhandle, near Eglin AFB. With my husband being in the Air Force we have moved around a little. We have lived in California, Florida, Texas, Okinawa and North Carolina.

    I am a Christian and many of my poems reflect that.  I've only been writing poetry for 7 years. Most of my inspiration comes while I'm reading my Bible.

     My other interests include reading, crocheting, counted-cross stitch, and playing Scrabble.

     I'm so glad I found Poetry Soup. Since becoming a member I have learned so many new forms. The contests have stretched my creativity and the positive comments are so encouraging.  Even though I've never met you, I feel like I know you. Looking forward to a long, happy relationship with all of you.

Hmm, it's too challenging, IMO. I don't think the contest will fill with "Q", but it definitely will with "R"

The more of a challenge, the better. Use the Q.

Q or R, that is the question? Wherever the wind blows, we'll take the Quiz.

Kim, I doubt the q poems would flow well and even make sense, I would rather move on to R but if you decide to do q I will try my very best, love _Constance

Hi Kim, I would be willing to give the kettle Q a try. However I don’t think it would flow that good. I eagerly wait for your next Pleiades contest:-) Alexis

Gosh, I don't know. I'd be willing to give it a try, but you might get a better response by moving on to "R." Who knows? OTOH, it would be interesting to see how Soupers deal with "Q."

I don't think you will get too many great poems with it, but if you go for it, I hope I can pull it off!
