You do have the reason why I stretched and then didn't stretch it out right. I just didn't realize I used the exact same phrase twice.<br /><br />As for the book, maybe I should. Though I couldn't be the one to illustrate it. I can draw. I just can't visualize. I have to see what I'm drawing in order to draw it. You can see how that might be an issue.Brooke R.

I also like how you use "across the floor" twice. But in one instance it is stretched out. And in the last sentence, it is so concise that it rings with finality. I think you should do a book of poetry. Perhaps with illustrations.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.com
