Single fallen leaf
Blown about, riding the wind
Landing among friends

Good morning, everyone!!
First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has helped make this blog successful. I can’t imagine what it would be like without the many friendships I have made (and more to come) these past four years. I never dreamed it would be this cool 🙂
When I started this blog, I was actually reporting on current events, until I decided it was time to release some of my poetry. Scared doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt. But the WordPress community welcomed me with open arms. It is truly an amazing feeling! Because of your support, I was able to publish nine poetry books, with number 10 coming shortly. I couldn’t have done it without you.
So, here’s to you, my friends, and to many years ahead. Once again, I thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤

Follow me, my dear friend
Said the butterfly to the cat
I can take you places
I know where it’s at
You can walk beside me
I’ll just lead the way
Hurry now, let’s move along
Before the close of day
I can’t fly, you silly thing
Said the cat to the butterfly
How on Earth can I follow?
If I fall, I’ll surely die
Perhaps you can carry me
Upon your mighty wings
We can go off, into the clouds
With the setting sun, and things
The butterfly pondered a moment
As the cat cocked a curious grin
Decided it was better to go it alone
Then be part of this kitty’s din din

Willy and Nilly were friends
Together, they said, til the end
Then along came Tilly
All pink nosed and frilly
Now they’re sharing a bole
With no population control
The three of them, all rather silly

When splashing in the ocean
