Poet and Didn't Know It

[changeling67]

I had an email today from our resident poet specialist, who is the year above me on the course.  She advised me to send my Jackdaws poem to Ink Now magazine (Plymouth University). I must admit to being a bit gobsmacked as I have never really thought of myself as a poet - just someone who has to write poetry for her coursework.  I have sent it, though - might have to keep my eye on Ink Now as a possible forum for other things. My next poem has to be about minerals - I have chosen quartz crystal and this time I have been forbidden to use rhyme, and must use alliteration :-/
