The Word Girl
She Corrects My Flawed Writing
I have a great friend who corrects my flawed writing meaning that most readers see something close to perfection. Without her, you would be subject to a plethora of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
I then thought The Word Girl by Scritti Politti would be a perfect jump-off point for a tribute to such a wonderful selflessly helpful friend.

You Are Inspiration
I was speaking with a great friend and she was surprised when I said that just chatting with her gave me inspiration to create stories. I told her that we all inspire each other when we communicate and she did say that my poetry inspired her. She may reveal herself or she may wish to remain in the shadows but you may guess who she is. She is excited that I am going to write a poem for her and it will be a villanelle.
