Oh, my goodness
What’s this I see?
Five hundred poems
All written by me
I never gave it a thought
Of reaching that milestone
I just followed my Muse’s lead
Otherwise, I’m all alone
I came here almost six years ago
The halls of My Poetic Side
A place to freely write
Amongst many poets diversified
Many poets I look up to
Talented pens everywhere I look
Some quite established
Even with published books
But with friends I don’t compete
As it’s not a competition
We all understand
Each other’s driven ambition
I remember my early days
Unbelieving of my own works
Finding my confidence
Ignoring so called friends smirks
So, here’s to number five hundred
Then moving on from there
To many, many more
Of which I’ll take that dare
