You should definitely check it out.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3008301915993590275-2974327536808866481?l=teamshinecares.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michael Clynenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008301915993590275.post-23466013647162795822007-10-31T18:06:00.001-07:002007-10-31T18:20:58.124-07:00A sonnet I wrote in college is going to be included in the November 15th edition of <a href="http://www.theversemarauder.com/">The Verse Marauder</a>. It's an honor because my poem is not as good as any of the ones in this month's edition.<br /><br />Another poem I wrote is going to be included in an upcoming anthology called <a href="http://www.wordmetro.com/projects.html">Migraine: Expressions</a> published by Word Metro. If you are or have ever known someone who suffers from migraine headaches, you NEED to check this out.<br /><br />Both of these poems rhyme. I'm also in the process of writing one about Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. Lots more to come on that. Have a safe and happy Halloween everyone!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3008301915993590275-2346601364716279582?l=teamshinecares.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michael Clynenoreply@blogger.com0
