It’s all rusted now
Torn and tattered
Years of neglect

I wish I could disavow
Thoughts too scattered
Lacking self-respect

I’ve walked a fine line
Unafraid to crossover
My time, so measured

Though forlorn, I am fine
With the promise of clover
And a life, truly treasured

Good afternoon/evening/morning!

I hope the day is bringing you much joy!

Today, I celebrate four years since publishing my first piece of poetry on WordPress.  What an amazing journey it has been for me,  I have met the most wonderful people, have been inspired by so many more, and look forward to what  2018 has in store for me.

Technically, I began my blog in October 2013, but didn’t share any poetry until January 8, 2014.   So does that make today my Poemversary or my Poetday? lol

Thank you, to all of you, for your love and encouragement.  I know I’ve said it before, but I hope you all realize how much it means to me.  Your comments, likes and friendship, make my heart sing   ❤

It was years since she could remember
How it felt to be in these shoes
Lacing them up with perfection
Unassuming, his delicate muse

Her pirouette, exquisite and airy
On her toes, twas so easy to see
How it came back to her, so quickly
As she danced with the forest and tree

He adored her, her grace was endless
Every elegant movement she made
How could he have left her behind?
Why on Earth had she even stayed?

For her beauty took his breath away
He knew now he’d never go far
His ballerina, his fantasy come true
Yes, she was his one shining star

Self-doubt is a lousy affliction

Some even call it an addiction

I just need some desire

To reach up and aspire

Thus, hitting my goals, with conviction

*

Though pinches of positivity

Could bring about creativity

Need to believe who I am

And get with the program

Sounds like the perfect activity!

One morning while sanding my deck

(Which by the way is a pain in the neck)

I fell down in a hole

Met a cute little troll

Now I live there, too, what the heck

 

Inspired by a true event (sans the troll).
