POEM VAULT

These Life-Built Poems were written by Netta Kanoho and appear in the posts among the thoughts, stories and other blather in this thing.   Poke the poem title with your cursor and you will be taken to the post where it is hanging out.  (Some poems hang out in more than one post…mostly because Netta loses track of them sometimes and they get away from her.  Poems can be pesky.)
