Ysabet Wordsmith is posting here http://ysabetwordsmith.dreamwidth.org/10672707.html for the Poetry Fishbowl today.

Hey, it's that time again! If you have ideas the WordSmith wants to make them into poems. Want to help? Prompt about feelings, emotions, words, emotional intelligence, therapists, having problems with understanding feelings, you get the idea... :-)
