Heart-on-Sleeve Corner Classic
Here's where the tradition of sending in poems to the Blender started. Since then,
I've switched to a monthly journal format so this page will
proceed to age gracefully.
You can also go the page of New Submissions, work that
hasn't had time to be moved to the regular sections...
