I said
I would try to make a poem
a nice one
for my thousand posts
And now I sit here
thinking
I wrote and wrote
did erase it all
for I did not know
what to write about
Silly
because there are thoughts
in my mind
so many words
but they just spin around
spin in my head

I met you guys
you called me a poetess
in your replies
I thought
Why

Am I a poet
because I can make words rhyme
when I take the time

Am I a poet
because I trust inner need
to a papersheet

It's you who called me poetess
nothing more and nothing less
Maybe I should spent more time
If I wish this verse to rhyme
But time my friends is very odd
It can't be lend it can't be bought
What time we have is never sure
so spend it well and spend it pure
I took my share on Passions here
the place that grew me very dear
See how you all inspired me
to write this little verse for thee
A thousand posts is just a start
for long I hope will I take part
I want to thank you sweety Ron
for all that caring you have done
And to my Passion friends so dear
If I wasn't a poet I wouldn't be here

Congratulations Titia on 1000 posts.
Trust that inner need and post on.

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.

Titia, our poetess...if you ever feel as if you are about to become "unstuck"?  Just let me know, I'll come with the glue!  We need several more thousand verses from you...

and bring your garden photos along...

your wit and laughter are welcome, too!

Thanks Bill for your kind words.
I did wonder though, is it poetess or poetress, seems it's been used both here  

Sunshine,
I hope for you dear friend of mine
that every day the sun will shine
No need for sorrow, pain or stress
I wish you happiness, nothing less

Thank you so much, the glue will hold, but if it ever will crack, I'll send for you I promise.  

Titia

Titia I think 98 originating post and a total of one thousand posts definately qualifies you to be a poet...worry no more...just write when the words come to your heart...James

Congratulations!  It's amazing you're already at 1000, don't you think, it seems you just came.

I too was most impressed and touched with the same stanza as JM...the one about trusting inner self to papersheet.  That is truly what we do, and then we put it out there for all the world to see, should the world come by.

Oh my!

Oh well, double post, that happens when you're too hasty, things going not as you planned, so I erased this little mistake.

Dear Marge, I thought you had abandoned me   (did I spell that right )Well I'm heading for a thousand more.
Thanks for your stimulating words  

Faterider, you're so right, specially for me though English not being my native language.
Thank you too  

Trillium,
Look forward, look backward
It's your choice my dear
There are many beautiful poems
of Passionwriters here

Thanks for reading.
