March Madness

3/20/2014

March Madness is upon us again. It's an exciting poetry contest between children's poets in which poets are given a word and must write a poem using that word within 32 hours. My word was 'fungible' and my poem, Fungibility, is up now for vote. Please stop by and cast your vote and may the best man/woman win!

thanks so much Liana! I'm glad it worked out okay because I didn't even know what the word 'fungible' meant when I received it.
