While reading through
My distant back pages
Reliving poetic verses
The thoughts of my ages
Surprised was I to see
My anniversary with My Poetic Side
My very first entry here
By chance today would coincide
Seven years ago today
I arrived here at MPS
Over five hundred poems
Shocked and amazed I must confess
Twenty Seventeen seems so long ago
Yet I remember it like yesterday
Where does the time go?
So often this I’m inclined to say
Who I was then
And who I am now
A journey of discovery
All I can say is WOW
I’ve written about this
And I’ve written about that
Where I’ve been to
And now here I’m at
I’ll write about love
And I’ll write about time
Even though I don’t like to
Of politics I’ll find a rhyme
My inner Muse less active
My writing has slowed down its pace
Causing the contemplation
There upon my face
Retirement has its setbacks
Now busier than when employed
With my four-legged best friend
Seeing his tail waggin’ I enjoyed
With my Muse
I’ll attempt to reconnect
Explore pages of new
Let’s keep that quill wet
