I received the Kreative Blogger award from Michelle Johnson yesterday. Michelle has several blogs: Poefusion, Poevies, Shades of Mj, and Photo N Thesis. She also has Blog Awards, which is where I found out I’d been given this award by Michelle (see the original post at: http://blog-awards.blogspot.com/2008/10/kreativ-blogger.html).

I first encountered her Poefusion blog through the weekly Monday Mural and Friday Five prompts back in June of this year when I began writing for those prompts. Time doesn’t permit me to write for both every week now, but I still keep coming back for her thought-provoking and inspiring prompts. You can see what I’ve written for Friday Five (http://ravenswingpoetry.com/tag/friday-five/) and Monday Mural (http://ravenswingpoetry.com/tag/monday-mural/).

This is the first blog award that RWP has ever received. Michelle, I am honored and flattered that you believe RWP to be worthy of this award. Thank you!!!!
