I guess it’s time, once again
To write another letter
And try to explain to WordPress
That change isn’t always better

It was great when we could see
The posts our readers liked
When clicking on the bell
I already know my blog name
C’mon WordPress, what the hell?

And get it together with Facebook
So sharing works the right way
I’m tired of having to battle you two
I hope you see it, my way

Though I can cut Sir Facebook
A little bit of slack
His service is free, at least to me
So I tolerate the flack

But not when it comes to WordPress
We have a right to know
When changes that don’t
Make any sense
In our faces, you will throw

The reader’s still a jumble
When poetry is shared
Please dear WordPress
Fix this mess
And show us that you care

I guess that’s all I’ll say for now
I’m hoping that you’ll see
How simple an announcement
About the changes
Can truly be

Just pop it in an email
And send it on its way
So we can be prepared
Some how
To face a WordPress day

An Open Poem to WordPress

Dearest WordPress,
I must confess
Lately, you’re playing with fire

The reader, you see
Has lost harmony
Line breaks is what we desire

Words jumbled together
It’s hard to tell whether
The verses are supposed to be mixing

Since I pay for my site
Hoping you’ll see the light
What ain’t broke, doesn’t need fixing

Better listen today
To what I have to say
Trust me, I’m not being coy

Take your Beep Beep Boop
And retire this goop
It’s obvious these changes annoy

It’s hard to believe one year has gone by since I began this journey. I started this blog writing pieces about the wedding industry, politics, current events in the news, etc. Until I realized it wasn’t what I really wanted to do. So many others were doing just that. I needed a challenge, and so, I decided to start sharing my poetry. I can’t tell you what a wonderful, exhilarating feeling it is to be accepted by so many talented poets & artists in this community and beyond.

You’re encouraging comments and messages fill my heart, and you inspire me. Because of this, I was able to publish a book entitled “Night Owl Poetry – Musings of the Night Owl Poet” and on November 1st, I will be publishing my second book, “Marrow of the Soul – A Collection of Poetry from the Heart”.

From the bottom of my heart, I say Thank You! for being a part of my dream and helping to make it reality.

Here’s to the years ahead!
Dorinda
