Colin Wards Poetry Tips
Being a better poet

Poetry of Leanne Hanson
STEP INSIDE HER MIND...
Do not bother wiping your feet -- it is dirty inside, and whatever muck you bring with you will help things grow.
Inspiration lives in the cracks and corners, the dark spaces behind doors, the litter and detritus of humanity. Why not take a deep breath and dive in?
