WISH FOR 2015

A New Yea's WIsh

 

May everyone be published

In this upcoming year,

Not suffer writer’s block�"

A poet’s greatest fear.

 

May editors encourage,

Be pleasant, kind and nice,

And not send out form letters,

The kind we all despise.

 

May you write bestsellers,

Be hailed in history;

May W/C load faster

(good luck with that!)

May it be true for us all! happy new year!

[Marie]

I certainnly hope it wil be true.

[Michael G.]

This one brought a big smile. And may all your wishes come true. The last is classic. I well remember my account being lost, also. Taught me a very good lesson in my computer writing habits. I now have all my material backed up in two places "before" WC receives its first line of poetry.
Happy and prosperous New Year, Marie.

[Marie]

The same to you. My work is in my documents before it goes to W/C, and I have a back-up hard drive for my computer.

[Michael G.]

Wise ideas, Marie. Mine are similar. One place puts a time stamp on my work. I figure these days that couldn't hurt.

[Samuel Dickens]

This is a good New Year's wish, Marie. I'll cross my fingers and hope it comes true.

[Benita Paloja]

This is very well written. Oh and i do agree, writers block is absolutely the worst thing to suffer. I would love to read more poems like this from you, truly talented!

[Marie]

Thanks. I am not truly talented. However, you'll be reading a lot more poems from me.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, good luck with WC loading faster, for sure....love this, Marie...especially the part about editors being encouraging, kind and nice...

once i got a rejection from an editor and it only had one word written on it in quotation marks: "NOPE"

[Marie]

At least you could tell it wasn't a form letter.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that's true, but it was so flippant....i didn't get over that one for a month....and usually i just took the rejections, sighed, and then sent somewhere else.

Brilliantly witty Marie - laughing here.
The end part about WC loading - I thought it was only my connection that was suffering.
Classic - instant classic
:)

[Marie]

We all have this problem with W/C, though it's not as bad as it used to be. Andnow, for some reason, Advertisements keep poppig up. I hope that stops soon.

[ANTO]

Marie the ads wont stop - they'll become more user orientated - I was discussing SCI FI on another poets review page and since then I've been bombarded with 'Build your own Millenium Falcon" ads - lol
A bot is taking the things we write - or scanning these dialogue/comments boxes for key words and focussing the ads accordingly - believe me it wont get any less, if anything it'll be worse. :/

[Lizardo]

Great work, I did enjoy this wonderful poem
And I like the last stanza, I really laught at it!

[Marie]

W/C really is a lot better thanit used to be. Once it completely lost my account, and I had to start over again.

[Matching Socks]

Lol! Amen to that Marie!
Thanks for the chuckle!
Happy new year.

[Woody]

I can't think of a better way to express wishes for the new year. and coming from a writer/poet to writers/poets this is priceless, Marie. thank you.
happy and prosperous year to you.

[Marie]

I hope everybody does have a good new year. Ahd gets ambitious enough to publish,

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Your good wishes have me smiling broadly, Marie! I will not hold out much hope for the WC loading faster, but here's to all the rest! Happy, healthy 2015 to you and yours!

[Marie]

Thank you Rita.
