Busy

My life feels calm and peaceful - its lush. Maybe I'll write something on that. I'm busy on another project I don't think I'll be posting much.

Next Friday is my first wedding anniversary so I'm working on a poem for my husband. I've never written a poem before for him. It's only the last two months with Opuss I've started writing them. The first anniversary gift is traditionally paper, so my plan is to write my poem on origami paper then fold it into a love heart.

I'm writing our 'love story' as a poem and so far I am up to us getting back together but I think maybe I'll scrap it and write it as a short story instead or change theme and do a poem on how he makes me feel or changed my life.

It feels so important that I get it right that it's driving me nuts and consuming me

I Wish Y'all Good Luck

@MelchiorJ13 is now laying at 20. Truly an amazing writer. One among all of you. Who inspire me. I've moved up too. Up to 18. Still quite scary. To be this close. I congratulate you all.

I'm Here To Write

I'm here to write. Something from the heart. The words must be perfect. Writing is an art. I'm here to write. And learn from others. To get inspiration from you all. Kids, dads, or mothers.

Oh Opuss I can hardly say, How chuffed to bits I am, Since becoming a Mog I'm in a state, Of purrfect marzipan.

Nostalgic Thanks.

I want to take a trip back, And remember my first day, When I sat before this new app, With nothing good to say.

Are you a metrophobic. I thought I was once. The laughter, and shame... My answers... I was a dunce. I hated English literature Surely not all poets did the same...

Go.

I run with the winds and wish to fly. To soar up with the birds into the sky. I wish to say what's on my mind. And for all people to be kind. Where everyone is golden and happy.

What a lovely first gift. Or you could have a little book of handmade paper to be used for a poem every year. ❤

That's a (: you could take him for a balloon ride and beneath him a very large piece of cloth with your writing on it as you both soak in the beautiful weather, each other's company and love! 😊

That is such a beautiful idea...it's my 7th wedding anniversary in July and I was thinking of doing something for my hubby too...it's a big thing tho as he's not really into poetry etc...he supports everything I do but just not into words as I am...so I'm unsure...but then he has said well you never write for me, to which I say you are my inspiration on a daily basis

@eddie12309 That's a brilliant idea but not sure I have confidence to do that year in and worry I'd get it wrong.... Pressure... Ooo maybe a scrapbook with a poem each year XD

@misslittleDHP just googled the 7th anniversary and it's copper or wood. Not sure what you could do with that. Maybe write the poem and hide it in a wooden decorated box that can be used to store other sentimental trinkets xx

@eddie12309 i'm going to buy the scarp book bits tomorrow when I visit my dad as Rob's not coming with me. Kind of excited about doing it now. Posted "love story" which I'm gonna write in the origami heart and then add it to the scrapbook XD
