How do we write a poem?	I sometimes begin writing a poem by writing down my thoughts in prose. I try to get to the gist of what I want to say in the poem. Then, I glean from the prose paragraphs what the poem will be. After that, I look at wordsmithing - are the words I used the exact one needed. Do I need all the words? Or perhaps I need more. Can I rhyme? Can I use alliteration? What images jump out at me. These questions help me compose a poem from the kernel of truth I want to tell.

Uploading Biography Photo	Check the quality of the image you are trying to upload. Is it a jpeg or gif? I think the system only accepts certain types of documents, and not too big.

Aging	Last line of second stanza needs work. Last line of 3rd stanza Maybe -"Memory was lost - no longer found" Last line needs a bit of work as well. Note some spaced you missed and add punctuation. This is a sad, but good write. Keep working on it. Sometimes saying it out loud gives you help in wordsmithing.
