Every time I work on one of these exercises, I think of those Creative Writing classes and try to do half as well as she did. It would be a fitting tribute. And, for what it's worth, when I wrote that poem it <em>did</em> include every single one of my tags, in order. It wasn't a 1:1 match by the time it went live, but I liked what I'd come up with enough that I left it intact. That's the kind of problem you get from writing it early: getting to choose which version you like better, and going with that one. It's a pretty nice sort of problem to have. I think that’s a great idea, Courtney! Every time I work on one of these exercises, I think of those Creative Writing classes and try to do half as well as she did. It would be a fitting tribute.

That will go away as soon as the next post appears in the blog...but for now, it's a neat effect. And in other news, I heart this idea mightily. I'm gonna do it. Maybe even with that poem I mentioned to you, the one that's "due" this Thursday. Seems appropriate somehow. :o) As I type this, your poem is even with the list of tags in the sidebar.
