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.

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!

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

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

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

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

I hope everybody does have a good new year. Ahd gets ambitious enough to publish,
:) 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!
I have been writing for almost 60 years. Writers' Cafe is the best writing site I've found. If you send me read requests, expect me to be blunt. I don't like poor grammar, misspelled words or mistake.. more..
