<div>Beatiful, Lisa... just beautiful!</div>
<div>What a wonderful idea. It's like a poetic convergence of our collective consciousness.</div>
<div>No wonder you're the Poet Laureate.</div>

and I have the honor of holding this title for Now although all of you are welcome to share and invite poems whenever you wish. And speaking of Now
I have a Found Poem, inspired by our colleague [and past Poet Laureate] Laurel Doearsam's idea of 'finding' poetry. These are your words, dear colleagues, plus just a few of my own
