Hi again all! It’s time for the April 2009 Drollerie Blog Tour. In honor of April being National Poetry Month, this time around we’re all doing posts on the theme of poetry: how it influenced our writing, and in some cases, our characters! Come by and check out what we’ve got to say this time, and let us know what you think. Bonus points if you do it in rhyme.
