Blogger didn't notify me that it was awaiting moderation before. I'm so sorry.<br /><br />Finding an obscure poem can be a challenge. However, when I searched the title you provided, in a few seconds I had several by that name, so you might try a Google search. If that doesn't help you find your specific poem, try searching for a favorite line or phrase from it. I've found things that way. The more you can remember about the poem, the more items you have to search, and the more likely you will be to find it. You might try this site:<br />https://www.thoughtco.com/locate-the-text-of-a-poem-2724842.<br /><br />Don't forget to pray about it. YHWH is a personal God Who cares about the details of our lives. He knows exactly where you can find the text of that poem.<br /><br />I hope you find your poem. Congratulations to your son!<br /><br />Because of Christ,<br />SharonSharon Kirk Cliftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218763567211993842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067421699956062476.post-90884703730184020002016-09-23T13:41:08.195-05:002016-09-23T13:41:08.195-05:00HI!

I've heard Doc Hensley, Amanda Luedeke, Les Strobbe, and Jim Watkins speak on several occasions and am confident their workshops were great. Of the ones I heard this year, I especially enjoyed hearing Linda Glaz discuss dialogue tags and how they affect POV, as that is a topic my critique partner and I have been discussing, but the other workshop speakers I heard were quite good, also.Sharon Kirk Cliftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218763567211993842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067421699956062476.post-61079185749158930862014-11-06T09:08:57.145-06:002014-11-06T09:08:57.145-06:00Yes, Ramona, and I've heard from others who fe...Yes, Ramona, and I've heard from others who felt the same way.

Autumn is such a lovely time to praise the Lord for all His many gifts. We also enjoy the tasty delights of the harvest season: apples, pumpkins and squashes, candy corn, peanut butter kisses, chili, cider (hot, cold, and spiced), etc. Autumn has too many delicacies to let the enemy cast his puny shadow over them and spoil them.<br /><br />Write on!<br />Because of Christ~Sharon Kirk Cliftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218763567211993842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067421699956062476.post-43942488509275234142013-10-21T13:43:58.222-05:002013-10-21T13:43:58.222-05:00Fantastic blog, Sharon!

I usually think about how to review the story without giving away too much while I am reading it, because I don't like to know everything that is going to happen before I read it! Also sorry it took me so long to respond. The email you sent it to is one I rarely use, and I just saw it tonight.

I revel in quaint, folksy, artsy villages. As a storyteller, I love to busk in such places. <br /><br />Cynthia, I'll see Ramona this Friday evening, Lord willing, since that's when a small group of "writerly sisters" meets at my writer's nest.
