The Writer

When December comes, I shall be lying on a tropical beach Watching laden freighters traverse the warm Gulf stream waterway I know hundreds will be reading my story in the tabloids written September 22, 2021

That last line gave me such a start; I will be smiling for awhile.

It just came to me. Occasionally I can be whimsical, too, Caren. Sometimes I'm amazed at the things that come out of my head.

Oh, just pick up any super market tabloid and pick a story, then attribute it to me. I won't mind! LOL

I guess I'll find it one of these days. I'm glad your poem placed; now, I have to go back and read all of the poems and put names to them. I judged it blind, and they were so diverse, I had no idea who wrote what. It was fun! I hope some new people got listed. Hope you're doing well.

Thank you, Robert. I'll figure out where the story is one of these days, and it'll probably produce a poem! Thanks for your read.
