A few reminders. Avoid repeating the same noun or verb in the work. Switch subject matter so there are not too many verses
on food or water, etc. Link ONLY to the verse above and not to any other. Observe the distribution of Moon, Flower and Love
verses. Use the words insects and dreams only once in a poem and never use the word woman [I'm not making
this up!] Each link should identify the writer.
For your reference, the type of verse is included in brackets [ ] after each verse.
