NaPoWriMo–Day 29–write a poem in the form of a review.
I chose to review what has happened on this blog over the last year and that is what I based this poem on.

I want to take this time to say “Thank You” to all of you who read my poems, like them and share them.
I appreciate all of the followers this blog has and enjoy the interactions I have had with many of you.
