A Salute to #wschat

A Salute to #wschat

It's been three years

since Not Bob

introduced us to

the Twitter chat.

Many of us thought,

"What's that?"

Now, I can tell you

what it has become.

A "woohoo" when you

share good news.

Commiseration for

the rejection blues.

Laughter, especially

from the back of the class.

The option to wear or

not wear pants.

A chance to sit in

on author interviews.

Watching the same movie

and tweeting your review.

Time for us

to get together,

talk about writing,

learn to get better.

Happy Anniversary, #wschat!

Remember, we have

 the list if you need a name

for your cat (or band).

Hats Off to the Doctor

Hats Off to the Doctor

Walking through the library stacks,

I found a cat that wore a hat,

a fish or two of red and blue,

an elephant that heard a Who.

The Grinch that stole the holiday?

I still encounter him today.

The places that you said I'd go?

I've been to more than you would know.

It took nearly a lifetime, 

but I've become quite fond of rhyme.

How do we get to where we are?

Are we led to the water to drink?

Are the steps controlled by what we think?

Do we wish upon a star?

Will that get us very far?

Do we aspire to be like someone else?

Does that help us find ourselves?

Does it matter what we do?

Is everything planned for me and you?

How do we get to where we are and

where do we go next?

Thanks to Janice Sheridan for this week's Wordsmith Studio Creative Prompt-Freedom. Do you believe in destiny? Do we control our own fate? How have you found your way?

Reach and pull

Reach and pull

Hold tight enough so

you don't slip back

Reach and pull
Reach and pull
Loose enough so
the bark won't scratch

Reach and pull

Reach and pull

Think of all 

the sights you'll see

Reach and pull

Reach and pull

Before you know it,

you're up a tree.
