    Linda,

    I so enjoyed responding to your "Poetry Prompt" challenge of Sunday, April 19, 2009. I have my poem posted on my blog and would love for you to see it! It is entitled, "Catch and Release."

    Please let me know if there is anything else I am supposed to do as I am new to the "meme" world!

    Thank you,

    Angie

    I am really impressed by Thomar h. Benton's art. I've never imaginated the American' thought about their lives at Depression Time, the Slavery, War and many other epochs presented in Benton's art, I'm Brazilian and completed emotioned by him. Thank you, Mr. Benton. Lúcia.
