The End
And so
we come to the end
What a journey it has been
Think of all the things
we have seen and thoughts
we have shared
Some I have enjoyed
but let us not pretend
for some have been hard
Poems are like life
in that way
and should be treasured
in that regard

Thoughts
We did it! 365 days later and here we are. I am amazed that I made it. What did it teach me? The power of consistancy. Do something everyday. I don’t think I got better as a poet as I realised I am not one. But I think made me better as a writer. I have a number of half finished books that never went anywhere but as a result of doing this, I am almost at the end of my first novel. Without the daily poem, I would not have had the idea for my book, or the confidence to complete it.
Thank you for reading. I’m not sure what happens next. I should finish my book in the next two months but maybe I will continue to post in the interim too?
