Constance La France Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

Mystery Is

WHY have I become a writer ?
The only  w r i t e r  in my family.
As a child I had IMAGINATION
and thus I became a  s t o r y t e l l e r.
My grandma gave me a  JOURNAL,
"write for the  w o r l d  to read"
and I DID and I DO . . . 
m y s t e r y  is can I write Ode !

Andrea Dietrich October 16, 2020 at 7:01 PM Back to my comment below, how long did your wrist take to heal?? I think mine is more along the side going down thumb to wrist. And BIG CONGRATS here. I knew it was a winner. Constance La France October 17, 2020 at 8:47 AM Andrea, thanks for the congrats, my wrist took months before it felt strong again, it is the second time I used my right arm to break a fall, the first time from a bike and I broke my wrist, last winter on ice it was a sprain, I am always protecting my dang face _Constance

Sam Kauffman October 16, 2020 at 3:24 PM Mystery solved! You can definitely write an ode with flair! So neat to know your Grandmother recognized your talent at a young age and encouraged you. Lucky us! Hope you have kept your journals. Congratulations on your win! Constance La France October 17, 2020 at 8:45 AM Sam, thank you for the congratulations and comment, oh yes, grandma was very instrumental in me becoming a writer, sadly most of the early journals were destroyed by fire when our family home burnt to the ground _Constance

Andrea Dietrich October 5, 2020 at 1:50 PM this is just PERFECT for the challenge. I am writing with lame left hand. Fell on my back yesterday when my dang dog tugged the leash. I fell flat on my back but it's hand that is sore. Will go to urgent care soon! Constance La France October 6, 2020 at 10:40 AM Andrea, thanks for the compliment on my poem, so sorry you are hurt, I hurt my wrist and hand last winter falling on ice, let me know what happens _Constance

Now to create poetry is in my blood. i let the pen flow. Enjoy your day my friend. Constance La France October 6, 2020 at 10:42 AM Darlene, yes, since a child, I began writing on the walls of my bedroom, so my family thought they better get me a journal, so hundreds of journals later here I am still writing _Constance
