  Thank you very much, Colleen. That was my first post using the new editor. I still have many questions but thank you for the link (I bookmarked your post about the new editor and clicked the link to the demo). The demo didn’t give the answers to my questions. Will continue to find out. ❤

  Colleen has instruction for all the poem forms that you can follow for her challenges. This is not for free verse. So it’s good to learn and practice! 🙂
