14 on the 14th!

Fireworks! Fanfares! Flusterment!

Greetings, Poetry Friday friends.  It is my 14th bloggiversary, and I find that somehow last year I had time to write a rather comprehensive post looking back over my blogging history...and so, while I'm distracted by all the new things I'm trying to do (too many as usual, to be sure; but there IS a greater degree of evening spontaneity now possible in this rewired Empty Next, which keeps landing us at breweries where Trivia Nights are happening!: but that's another story), I'm just going to let hyperefficient Heidi of 2021 guide you to all the goodies, including this acrostic from 2016 which is still holding its own:





You can click here, should you be interested in this very personal history, to see

And now, time to start planning something good for next year's 15...


Matt at Radio, Rhythm and Rhyme is our host today, where he's celebrating too--a birthday, not an anniversary, for his new book A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO BEING HUMAN. It's just a typo, but I am amused by Matt's assertion that "It was written during the height of the pandemic back in 2022"--way back right now!  Congrats, Matt!

  1. Guess we're both trying to keep it together, ha! Meant to say 2020 - that's what I get for writing a blog AND a poem at 10:00 at night. Congrats on the blogiversary, Heidi, and congrats on seizing the opportunity to do the 'bare minimum!' lol

  4. I didn't start as early as you, Heidi, but still enjoy (sometimes) going back to the beginning to see then what I was celebrating! Happy Blogiversary, "Sampling the past or hewing the new," it's a fine thing to do!

  5. I love that acrostic! I keep trying to pick a favorite line or two and can't. They're just all intertwined so beautifully. Have fun with the trivia!
