This is my Eleven Hundreth Poem I've written here on PoetrySoup!

So many hours, 
So many days 
So many times, my mind has gone in different ways 
 
I'd think until 
I'd think about 
I'd think and think, and then I'd write it out 

Eleven hundred poems 
Eleven hundred writes  
Eleven hundred poems, I've written through the nights 

So many hours 
So many days 
So many times, I've written all these days 

I'd think until 
I'd think about 
I'd think and think, and then I'd shout it out 

Eleven hundred poems 
Eleven hundred writes 
Eleven hundred poems, I've written in my life
 
Eleven hundred poems 
Eleven hundred writes 
Eleven hundred poems, I've written through the nights

I really like how you've framed this accomplishment, Charlie. Many congratulations on 1,100 to date -- and many, many more to come. Excelsior! ~ Gershon

Go Charlie. A spectacular milestone. I might catch up with you in 50 years or so. Enjoyed your eleven hundred celebrations, when I get there, I’ll tell United Nations!!!
