it hit me: 'i'm turning freakin' 40!' so i started writing 40-syllable poems on sticky notes. then, i googled it and found no other poems with the same syllable limit, so now i wonder whether i "invented" this free verse form of poetry in the process! lol ...i thought it'd be fun to put my poems together with some of my favorite digital camera/phone pix!
