Something about writing that engages my right brain I think. Lots of poetry is very prosey (if that's a word).

However, my class at the U last week (on brain changes and aging successfully) the neuroscientist lecturing responded to my question about how computers were affecting our memories because we no longer have any need to remember things--we just google it when we need the answer. Her response is that we need to keep making the little nerves descending from our brains like tiny fingers reaching to each other to keep connections keep working, and the constant learning and adjusting we need to make to new gadgetry is actually good for us. So I'm rethinking my fear--hate--of trying new apps and programs. And I finally learned how to download library books to my eBook. I'm feeding those little suckers (my brain fingers) as much as I can to keep them healthy. On the other hand, writing poetry probably goes a long way to keeping the brain healthy, too. Kudos to all of you!Alicehttp://wintersong.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-17357778709450833602011-04-09T08:58:04.813-07:002011-04-09T08:58:04.813-07:00Poetry seems to be the rage on the Internet these ...Poetry seems to be the rage on the Internet these days.
