Proud Out Loud

Proud Out Loud

21 July 2016

A feeling urges self-promo,

I want to say it out loud

And let the world know,

“I’m feeling very proud.”

Proud of my mastery, skills

And ample poetry production.

Minor improvements add thrills

As I do word construction.

I’ll walk with my chest out,

Ambling along with poise.

Standing tall as I go about,

I’ll think about my attaboys.

Abundance Convergence

30 June 2016

Right now I’m celebrating

My own skills and empowerment,

Giving myself a five-star rating

From a sense of fulfillment.

No more watching from the sideline,

Incremental improvements

Have become my guideline.

Baby-step accomplishments

Make the results genuine

And need no embellishment.

Life events all combine

To this acknowledgement

That abundance is mine.

Published in The Australia Times

The Australia Times (TAT) published one of my poems. Last time I had to sign in to their website to read all the poems, this time I didn't. You may have to register with TAT in order to read my poem on page 55. 
The editor's never met me in person, so in the bio pic she got me & my twin mixed up.
