I’m honored to be co-hosting tonight and through tomorrow with Silver Lining\/Cherie and Featuring the poetry of our treasured friend Mary Margaret. <\/em><\/font><\/p>\n The idea of “Pick-Apart Poetry” is to select 25 words from the featured poetry posted and create a new piece using only those 25 words. Tenses and such may be altered and the words can be repeated but only 25 words selected. To read Mary’s featured poetry and the wonderful pieces as they are posted and to participate, the following link will take you there:<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i148.photobucket.com\/albums\/s4\/barbkaus\/Waimea%20Valley%20Botanical%20Gardens\/Beginning%20May%2010\/Beginning%201-1-11\/InPinkandWhite.jpg\")
