I've been hoodwinked......



I woke up late this morning,
my eyes half closed and bleary
I grabbed my morning coffee
still feeling quite tired and weary.

I sat down at my computer
and guilt quickly overcame me,
for a whole day I'd not logged in
to my online home of AP

The log in page was loaded
name, password, then button pressed
and left it for a few moments,
while i turned to then get dressed.

The surprise which then unfolded
as my pages came into sight,
I was amazed that I'd been hoodwinked,
while I'd slept soundly through the night

my smile of great proportions
spread right across my face
as I read your messages and comments
and hoodwinked hugs in every space

So to Poetic Bandits and Earth Angels,
most sincere thanks, I send to you
for your caring hearts and good wishes,
and for everything that you do.

You have started my day so brightly,
made me smile and so much more
and shown me the hand of friendship
that could never be ignored.


Thankyou all for giving me  a wonderful start to this day.

Ann

    It's great to be showed a little love sometimes and I enjoyed doing this. See the thing is this isn't a chore to me, I find is brilliant to comment and read others writing and it makes for me to be a better poet within myself. You are a good writer and deserve all the applauses that you have. Keep up your strong poetic hand and never give it up, you may just help someone today, or any other day in your life (maybe more than one, if you haven't already). Thank you for sharing once more and another set of beautiful verse is presented here. Even whilst you thank people you have a great poetic flow .

    Thanks for sharing and for all the blessed words. Love and light for you and all those who have a beautiful soul,

    Beautiful!

    Sometimes I think we spread ourselves thin and forget to share the blessings of our friendships created here as often as we wish. Life steps in and disallows the hugs and well wishes we want to spin and whirl. Your poem has made my day Ann. Isn't it wonderful how words can so easily penetrate the heart. The world would be so much brighter if we would each do a gesture like this as often as possible. This is a generous, wonderfully rhyming outpour of sentiments. My day is uplifted because of it. You have always been an angel. Take wings dear friend and fly.


    Much Love Always ♥
