My 50th Poem....


With much hesitation, I ventured into this blog world
Like a lost stranger, I wondered what to do
I attempted to pour my feelings and my thoughts
Hoping somebody would listen and care

I dauntlessly scribbled what came to heart and mind
To ease myself of boredom, some physical pains
And tough emotional struggles I tried to conquer
With the help of my pen and paper

And in this wonderful blog space
Little by little I gained virtual friends
I was acknowledged, admired and thanked
For sharing my dreams and my realities

I grew up, matured and won awards
But in between were much hesitation
At times I wished to just vanish away
Thinking I am doing no better way

But thank you all my dear blogging buddies
As I wrote my 50th poem
You all inspired me to write and share
To express and be part of a wonderful world
What I am now, I owe it to you all!

More notes on this poem:


Hey buddies, this is my 50th poem (click on this link to read more of my poems), since I started blogging sometime in November 2008. I would like to consider this as a milestone. And yes, in between then and now, I oftentimes wanted to stop the whole exciting thing, but thanks a lot, many of you my buddies would dare me not to stop, and have instead pushed and encouraged me to go on and would often tell me that I should not hesitate because I enjoy writing. Thanks buddies... ;) 

I hope to write some more and hopefully gain more friends and readers...Yes, I truly love this world, a silent and at the same time noisy world where there is a unique meeting of the minds. There are no borders, no boundaries, no discriminations, in spite of the fact that we come from different worlds. What a beautiful world, isn't it? 

No fighting, whatsoever, but only just the sharing of wonderful minds, great ideas,  beautiful thoughts and unique feelings and emotions.

Thanks to all of you...:) Have a blessed Sunday........... :)


P.S. Thanks for the Badge that I won last February at Acrostic Only, on my work COMETS.

With much love,

  17. Congratulations, Amity! You are a good poet, very good!
    Isn't it nice to have blogging, virtual, friends!
    You have a multitude.
    And what makes it possible are the little groups, like OSI, Haiku Bones, Acrostic Only, and the various meme's. There gets to be a pattern of cross commenting folk.
    Plus some good writes. I sure can feel it when a poem is a total flop. Quite a few of mine just aren't too great.
    But we have fun and enjoy the writing as well as the compliments, don't we?

  28. Jim;

    Yeah, you are right! We know ourselves if our poems are a flop! But like what you said, whatever, at least we enjoy writing them.

    I am convinced there's no rules either, but the thing is, if we love what we are doing and there are a handful of virtual friends who appreciate our simply good poems, then it's a wonderful world...!

    Thanks Jim for being one of them!

    Of course your poems are as good as mine! And better than mine... :)

  29. Robin;

    When we love what we are doing, we always have time! That was my feelings before, I felt like stopping all at once but through the encouragement of few very good virtual friends, I was able to go this far!

    You do it, and find time! It's always satisfying!

  35. I'm so glad you are at OSI! Congratulations! I know what that feeling is in the beginning of blogging. It was exactly the same for me with photography and blogging. Now I'm moving out to haiku, also, and I have the same hesitation. That was a wonderful poem!

    But I think the most important thing really is you were able to express your thoughts to every one. its such a satisfying moment :-)
