Midnight musings, courtesy of insomnia and magnetic poetry

Well … it was midnight when I started writing ;)

Anyway, tonight I couldn’t sleep. So I got online and looked up the website for Magnetic Poetry (I’d gotten the idea from some kits I saw in Powell’s today). And I found a spot on their website where you can actually test out some of the sets.


Being in a somewhat sentimental mood, I choose the romance edition, and here’s what I came up with. Read them if you’d like, or perhaps you’d better ignore them if you’re the kind to scoff at mushiness. If you do decide to read them, though, I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions for improvement :)
