This is my first published poem. I sent it to an editor of a children's magazine on a lark. Made enough money to buy myself a meal at Burger King.

ODE TO AN OLD PAIR OF SHOES
We laughed in the rain,
We played in the sun,
You always were with me,
Especially when I had to run,
You hid under my bed,
With hardly a care,
But our new puppy found you,
Alas! I can not wear you anywhere.
Ah!
My poor shoes,
To shoe heaven must go,
At least I can find consolation in knowing that...
My poor shoes have soles!

Afternoon Loretta! Please allow this slight commercialism. As fellow exodus journalists/bloggers, we are letting people know of our new blog called, Directory Assistance. We are hosting to the community a list of names and locations of bloggers who had once been AOL journalists, or are still AOL journalists, but who have opened in exchange, or addition an Internet Blog.
Directory Assistance is published by an advocate team of Vivian, Judith, Patrick, Gabreael, Virginia, Vince (me), and Ayn.
We are offering an open community blog that serves as a form of connection between you and community members like us.
You are invited to stop by Directory Assistance blog and leave questions, comments, concerns, or make additions, changes, or deletions of your blog listing. At the bottom and top of the sidebar Directory list, there will always be the most recent html update of people and journals listed at Directory Assistance, changes will be updated daily.
You are invited to copy these codes freely to your sidebar or blog body and update as often as you would like. Again it is a list of your fellow Journalists/Bloggers (who wish to be included). If you like the service, please let others know. At its starting point, there are approximately 170 of us represented on the list. Thanks for being here and letting us stop by. Let us also know your thoughts!
With all our heart,
Your Directory Assistance
