It's been one year to this very day
that abc tales came my way,
I really didn't have much to say
but the power of word came to stay,

then with words - rhythm and rhyme
I always seemed to find the time,
it makes my day it is so fine
while writing words line by line,

like! deep down in the underground
a terrifing monster lurked around,
stealthily moving not making a sound
but up to the surface he was bound,

or! in dreams we do not reason why
we have no choice we simply fly...
invisible stairway to the sky
to watch as all our dreams pass by,

also! as I lay on soft green grass
the hours always seem to pass,
breathing in the fine cool air
having lots of time to spare,

so I would like to simply say
that I am glad you came my way,
thanks to all upon this day
and all the best to all okay!

Oh, Jenny...I hadn't realised it had been but one year since you joined ABC. It seems as if you have always been here;-) I think you have put, very well, with your graphic imagery, what many of us feel...me included. A lovely poem, a lovely thought, and a lovely day...hopefully where you are. Certainly here, it is, so I'm rushing with my housework so I can get out into the garden. Have a peaceful Sunday. Tina;-)

Happy anniversary Jenny! celticman is right - you give more than you take so here's to another productive creative year. Look forward to reading the fruits of your labours (though you don't appear to labour that much!). Coral xx

Hi coral, thankyou so much for your kind wishes, you know I'm like you, sometimes I just cannot think of anything to write about, then all of a sudden words just come to me, mainly at night, so I took advice from another writer, I always keep a note pad and pen on my bed- side table, it really helps. But I do struggle and it doesn't come easy honestly. I really do hope that I can keep writing, it's so good to be able to express my self, if you know what I mean. Anyway thankyou again for commenting and supporting me, it's much appreciated. Jenny. xx

Jennifer, Congratulations. Your poem was very much a delight. I just recently through Celticman was able to find out how to read other people's work so I'll be reading more of your work. Thank you also for your unending support. Sometimes, I just wanted to stop writing but you encouraged me to continue. Birthday wishes fly into light one more year, one more soul.

That was really a kind thought to put this little rhyming poem up- Jenny- thanks for great companionship (if you can say that?) through the past year- I know what you mean about becoming enriched by Abc and you have certainly been one of the assets with your beautifully natural and down to earth writing. well it is a bit magical as well- and you are close to nature. I like that. I agree with celtic- you give more than you take. You know I have been here off and on since 2005- it's funny isn't it? Yeah keep writing your wonderful pieces and I'll stay happy and I know I'm not the only one atb and Thanks ;)Pia.

Hi Pia, many thanks for your kind comment and I really mean it, when I say you have helped me an awful lot along the way, probably more than you know. I have never really thought about the giving and taking side of it, if I really love a piece of work, then I just have to let the writer know how I feel, which is why abc tales is so good. When you read a book, or watch a film, you never get the chance to comment, but here you do and that's so special. I really value your friendship on here and that's another reason why I'm glad I found this place. Again thankyou for the birthday wishes and I hope the sun is shining down on you today. Take care, Jenny.

Dear Steve, what can I say? you have really made my day with your more than kind words. I'm so glad that you've been able to find out how to read others work, to be honest I only found out, some months back, when Pia showed me what to do, so you're not alone. Don't ever stop writing, if it's in your mind, write it down, you will be amazed at how words and lines can suddenly come together in a verse or a story. I really do appreciate you taking the time out to let me know your feelings and I also look forward to reading more of your work. Have a really great rest of the weekend, and a not to stressfull week. Jenny.

Oh, how lovely are you, Jenny?! :) I've been here just over a year too and I'd be lost without it, and its people, not least your wonderful self! Abctales is a very unique place and this brilliant poem celebrates just how special it is, and how lucky we all are to have it. My life has certainly been enriched by being involved here and like yourself, I'm going to be here for quite some time. Thanks for posting this and for the cherished encouragement and support you've given to so many of us the past twelve months - as OP just said, here's to you :) Rachel xx
