... No rest for the weary; ....

Poem Artwork

Once

there was an old woman
who wrote so many poems
she didn't know what to do.

She labored!  She sweated!
In pain she brought them forth:  this
the only life that she knew ---

they arrived in a rush
of tears, singly, at first.  Then
they started coming in twos ---

these babies of hers.  And
then more and more, all fathered
by an overactive Muse

who sat back while she slaved
over the page. No rest for
the weary; she has no clue

on where to find it --- so,
let her present number two
thousand five hundred
to you!

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (6/24)

(and everyone lived
happily ever after,
like ev'ry fairy tale should)

Giggle ... such a light and cheery glimpse at living with the obsessive muse. Super! Ideal subject for number 2,500 :-)

Karla, that is an impressive number of poems. You are lucky that your Muse keeps you busy. Some of us aren't so lucky and our pen has become lazy. Keep writing. Your poetry adds to the pleasure of many.

2500 poems is a staggering figure. But more telling and impressive to me are the 42,000+ reviews you have had. That speaks to the quality of your work Karla. Amazing! May there be 2500 more poems and 42,000 more reviews. God bless. JMW

2500--that is a WOW! I have absolutely no idea how many I've written--I used to count my sonnets at least--but then I found out that I had two 29's (8 years apart)-- what does that mean? I don't know. Perhaps there are two of me--each secretly thinking she's the "real me" (just in case you're wondering, the real one is me, I mean I...?) --Charlie

Awesome picture of you, Karla, and congrats on your 2,500th poem. I recently celebrated my thousandth poem written since I joined AD in 2003 (not all are posted online). It is a sweet milestone and sense of accomplishment.

Here's to 2,500 more,
Jill
