The Third Time Is The Charm
My husband is one of my favorite sources when I write about everyday life. He is funny, we laugh a lot, he likes to rhyme and tease and he is a great family guy. He is in great shape for his 73 years, active, and is a pretty good card player. We have recovery and motorcycles in common.

I Put Contests Together For Poetry/Rhyme And Give Prizes Once A Year.
February is Black history month. And like American Indian history, most people in the United States know very little about Black history. I met people from Russia that had to learn about America before they could enter the United States to live.

A Poem A Day In February Contest
I worked with the young man who wrote the poem above. He died and left a wife and a young son. His son turned six this month. His wife placed the above photo on a post on Facebook and I thought it would be a great prompt for a contest. I asked friends to use the poem to inspire them.
