Thank you Vegan. I have threatened for years to publish something. I probably have about 25(?) or so poems now. Hmm...I have thought of taking certain ones and making one book out of them with illustrations. Then, if the book(s) acutally sold I could put together a collection of poems book.
I really enjoy children's literature as well...picture books.
About 10 years ago my kids and I adopted a baby squirrel. Our dog found it lying on the ground; the squirrel was probably a few days old.
We nursed him, weighed him, photographed him, etc. He even went with us to Washington, DC.
Sometimes he rode in my shirt pocket and sometimes in his specail pocket book.
Anyway, at about 5 weeks old he got adopted back by a mother squirrel who took him to her nest...really neat story.
So, I've thought for years about publishing that into a children's book: Squirrel in my Pocket.

That's beautiful.
Are you thinking of publishing your poems? I think they're begging to be shared with the masses. You have an awesome gift.

Shellon (and all others here) --- Here's a tip to posting live links here at GSCafe.
I've found links don't link, with just the www in front of the name of the website.
but -- if you add the http:// in front of the www ---they show up as a live link.
Makes it easier for folks to click, rather than copy and paste into the bar up above.
