How has WDC influenced my life
Prompt for: Sept 1, 2015 (Ren)
Subject or Theme: How has WDC changed you since you first joined?
Word(s) to Include: blanket, yellow, fly, bargain (or any derivatives of these words)
Forbidden Word(s): join, change, anniversary, author, birthday, grow, better, write, writer, poet, poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction, novel, NANO, book, read (or any derivatives of these words)
Additional Parameters: For each year and partial year (if you have been here 5 & 1/2 years you will round up to 6) that you have been a member of WDC, you must write the same number of stanzas (it doesn't matter the length of the stanza, so if you have only been here one year, it may be a single long stanza or if you have been here ten years it may be broken into stanzas of one or two lines). Please list the number of years at the bottom of the poem, especially if you have left WDC and returned, like myself.

WDC - My Perfect Online Place

Imagine my delight
To find such a wonderful site.
Like minded souls
Escape from the trolls.

Where the world seemed too much for me
I needed an escape, you see
I made many friends here
They blanketed my fear.

Wrapped it up and sent it flying
Where once writing had been trying
It flourished in the bargain
I was able to hope again.

I have been here over three years
Experienced many happy tears
Especially when gifted my yellow case
I knew I had found my online place.


Note: I joined WDC in March 2012 so that means I need 4 stanzas.
