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

Congratulations AP on your seventh anniversary at MPS. Five hundred poems is pretty impressive. Have a lovely day. Enjoyed your posted music as well as your fine poem. All the best to you.
Thank you Cassie, Honestly, I hadn't realized today was the day I joined here. I was just browsing through my writes which I'll do on occasion, and I noticed the date on my first entry was today's date. So, I felt obligated to write a poem specifically for today. Weird how that happens. 🤔
It was meant to be. Strange, but life is at times. 🌺
Yes, well done!
I dunno how many years - of misery - I've had with KP. The wedding day is best forgot! lol.
Oh come on now Orchi, I know you have a scrapbook at home filled with pictures of you, KP and all her Botox she requested as wedding gifts. 🙄
Yes lol.
Excellent write
Thanks Tony. 😉👍

Teddy, I'm honored that you would confuse me with Andy. Andy might have something to say about it though. 😁
