  2. I just found Poetry Jam and will try this because it looks like fun. I am an artist and use poetry to give my art a voice. Art with a Voice works well for me.The words that inspire my paintings just seem to be there when I need them. Adding to my ability to write and think on a chosen topic will be a challenge.
