My quirky poetic style can be shunned But I’ve checked my work and I am stunned To discover my Winter poem has 12759 views It is an early poem so its amazing news! I turned to poetry for so many reasons And enjoy writing haiku about the seasons If I wrote 106,2014 poems in my life I think my hubby would give me strife! He’s so happy that I joined poetry soup… But won’t read my poems if I mention poop! WINTER 12759 10/6/2014 Haiku Views For Poems Poetry Contest Contest Sponsor Funom Makama 07/04/20

You have accomplished a lot and deserve all the praise you get, (and I think you should publish a book called 'Poop Poems'!)

I was amazed to see it have so many views - it is a popular poem and it was plagiarised by someone on All poetry and someone submitted it to a contest in an American newspaper and the printed a retraction!:-) hugs Jan xx
