Short Story Writing Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

Before I started writing on line short stories,
I would write poetry and essays by hand
and electric typewriter too.

Things were much more difficult in those
bygone days of my youth.
Which in the blink of an eye
did all too quickly fly by

I have been writing stories about Santa's
elves, but mainly about fairies.
Angelic helpers also flew from heaven's
lofty heights.

Judging by the lack of reviews,
I did fail to do things right.
Writing about violence and sexual
predators did not appeal to them
Need I wonder why?

Do I have even any time to cry?
I spend a lot of time, submitting
work on line? Even if it is
sometimes only for an audience of one-
I have accomplished some thing.

Some people read while others write.
Some do both, it is alright.
Wishing people a good day or even night.

I used to read a lot, but know I
mainly write instead. I have the
computer to thank.

Writing short stories on line is
much easier now. I have not
unlocked the door with the
golden key of knowledge.

I am busy writing about life,
and worrying about doing it right.
Ideas seem to come and go
with no directional end in sight,

For my creative writing gift,
I bless my beloved Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ.

His words are a light unto my feet,
and a lamp unto my hand. He is
truly the redeemer of the human race.
Some day I shall behold his glory face to face!
