Week Four Birthday Ode to the WC Ode to my writing friends at WDC When I retired From the U.S. Foreign Service In 2016, After 27 years of service All over the world Travels to over 55 countries And all states, I vowed I would become After I retired, a published writer, blogger Poet and podcaster. And I have achieved those goals. I am self-taught As a poet and writer When I found this site I quickly learned This was the place for me. I started joining weekly challenges Learning every week The essential tricks Of the poet’s trade. And over time I learned What works for me Is free-form neo-beatnik Outlaw poetry. I learned I do not do Traditional metrical poetry Very well, just not my forte. My attempts are lame But I persist From time to time. Along the way I have met Many virtual friends Who have offered Words of encouragement And advice. And so I will continue To be part of this writing family For a few more years at least. As I turn 69 soon I know that I will soon Be slowing down. But I still have A lot to say And this is the place For me to say it. Happy 24th birthday Thanks Writing Com For all that you do From one of your Many devoted fans. It's WdC's 24th Birthday Week!!! Write a celebratory birthday poem to WdC. |
