Losing balance
The prompt for day 36 of the 61-day Daisy Yellow Index Card a Day Challenge is “balance.” The theme for week six is maps. So… in my collage, I have a girl who is dwarfed by a giant rabbit while she walks on a map. Let’s call her Alice. She’s older than she was when

Another term for unit in poetry is “stanza.” There are different types of stanzas in poetry, some with rhyme patterns and some without. Generally, the name of the stanza has to do with the number of lines in the poem. The shortest would be the couplet (2). Then there’s tercet (3), quatrain (4), cinquain (5),
