Thanks for the inspiration. Here's my Cautionary Verse about identity theft.
I really enjoyed the possibilities of transformation.

THIS DRIFTING WORLD
i actually wrote this for two for tuesday prompt, but i have definetely had a transformation of sorts, at least in my mood.
Well, I just have a freewrite for now. I want to see how the freewrite and ideas TRANSFORM into a poem.
Thanks for stopping by!
