I learned that this is probably not my thing. I also learned that I needed to make it first person or it just didn't seem to want to happen.

Interesting! Hopefully I can hear more from you about this. And I admire your trying something that turned out to be "probably not my thing"!

I learned to find my inner voice again- it has been stifled in the last months due to lots of circumstances beyond my control. I have composed Centos before, but never in this way or from such a large work full of so much potential! I found this way of working very interesting and full of play and just a relaxing and fun way of working on a poem. I am interested to see if I can create poems in this fashion from my own sentences...future projects! Thank you Phyllis for such an amazing book as well - this brought such joy over the month.

Oh, this makes me so happy! I'm glad you were able to relax into the process and enjoy it—and most of all, find your inner voice again! Keep exploring it! Don't let it go!
