thanks Barbara, this will be a good reference
in the upcoming rhyme workshop.
Will you be joining? Remember if you feel overcommitted I am offering casual places in this one, subject to some conditions-
If you can't commit to the whole rhyme workshop you will be allowed to post examples/experiments if you contribute to the discussion on the workshop page and critique at least 3 other workshop postings for each of your own. And you need to talk to me about it first by PM so that I can add you as a workshop participant.
thanks Jess
