• NaPoWriMo Day 2 : I Believe in You

  

  Today’s challenge is to write a poem that plays with voice. For example, you might try writing a stanza that recounts something in the first-person, followed by a stanza recounting the same incident in the second-person, followed by a stanza that treats the incident from a third-person point of view. Or you might try a…

• Gen X Parents Vs Gen Z Kids: Are We Controlling or Are They Rude?
