Greetings from the Garden State! You can contact me at newjerseymemories@gmail.com. This blog started out as a blog about New Jersey and what was happening in this great state. I was hooked! I love both writing and photography! Occasionally I took some shots with my old crappy cell phone camera (souffle, Costco photos). Then I moved on to. A Sigma SA-7 35mm camera. But it got to be so expensive buying and developing film that sometimes I couldn't afford to take pictures. By the way, I don't know anyone w...

http://poetsonline.blogspot.com/2015/06/prompt-his-masters-voice.html
June 2, 2015. Prompt: His Master's Voice. We love our pets. Writers love their pets, and they often write about them. I see more and more books about dogs and cats, and that includes poetry.
