24 . . . and counting!

Twenty-four years may seem to stretch back
to forever ago. I remember when WDC turned five--
and every year since. Those growing years
that pass in a dot of an i.

One score-and-four years: Older than many
sites across that web, far better too.
Countess friends made across the globe
thousands of pieces read and reviewed.

Two dozen years; of learning and teaching,
watching writers stretch their creative chops.
Best writing site bar none--
Writing.Com is simply tops!

Two-hundred and eighty-eight months
of contests, newsletters, and raffles galore,
badges earned, and awardicons won--
WDC is just SO much fun!

One-thousand-two hundred-and-fifty-two weeks
have given birth to books untold, a googol of poems galore.
Ports are brimming with a world to read
and, happily, there's still always more!

Eight-thousand-seven hundred-and-sixty days
of which I've logged at least seven-thousand-four-hundred-and-fifty-five.
I've rarely ever missed a day
and doubt I shall as long as I'm alive.

SO much time in this special place:
a family, a home, where I start every day.
Deep appreciation to SM and SMS
in each and every possible way!
