HOW MANY!

Goldfinch60



HOW MANY!!

Surely that is not true!

I cannot have written that many!

But no, the figures don’t lie.

I would never have believed it

That day when I first started,

Started to write words,

Write because of that artwork,

That I would continue writing.

I just don’t believe it,

That this is my three thousandth poem.

It surely cannot be,

But yes it is.

Three thousand,

Some good,

Some bad,

Some indifferent.

But all come from me,

From me and my Muse.

Ah well,

Four thousand here I come.

    Work ethic and productivity without peer, Andy.

    And then there's the music.

    You going to award yourself a wee glass of something strong in celebration once the sun goes down over the yardarm?

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Dave, yes maybe a wee dram of something Scottish.

        Should have had it by now - it WAS just one, quite small, wasn't it? Go on let loose....

        Later:
        PS: I went to your home page to look for one of your recent earlier pieces and guess what I found? 'Poems published 1633' An old fraud or multiple personas? 😊 ......................................................................................... or we inhabit a poetry site with shaky maths.......

              And how is the wrist holding up to this punishment. Now let me see, at one poem a day that adds up to..... blimey... you're how old?

              • Goldfinch60

                The wrist is fine.

                I am a day older today than I was yesterday and I have had so many yesterdays that I cannot count up that high.
