Thanks to sci fi writer and former high school classmate, David Williams, for this meme on his author blog.

David (see above) wrote on his blog that the meme below was making the rounds in the San Francisco blogosphere. I decided to import (and revise, of course!) it over here in the poetry blogosphere. Come on bloggers. I invite Mary Biddinger, Charles Jensen, Kelli Agodon, and Eduardo Corral to play. I’d invite more, but I’m tired of pasting in all the links. =-)

If you decide to fill it out and post it on your blog, please post the link in the comments.
