My One Hundreth Poem

My One Hundredth Poem

A journey started in April
Continues a hundred poems now
What an astonishing thrill
Created a poet in me somehow

Like fine spirits we distill
Our words with challenged brow
The friendship you all instill
Makes me just want to say WOW!

(Thank you all so much for creating
such a wonderfully supportive page
and helping me so far along the way
towards fulfilling one of my greatest
ambitions. I couldn't have done it
without ~~ all of you!!! :))))))))
Many, many, many thanks !!!!!!

Hi Yankee,

A bit of a milestone. Amazing after those first tentative poems and you suddenly wake up and realise you've written a hundred of them. So cheers to the next hundred.
