How sweet! Dorinda was inspired by my WIP journey to write this awesome poem!
Night Owl Poetry - Dorinda Duclos
Inspired by Ritu, of But I Smile Anyway, who is currently in the editing stages of her book!
Mischievous little dragon
Made his way onto the chair
On the desk, the author’s writings
Spread out, without a care
He wondered if she’d notice
If he added a line or two
But dragons don’t know how to write
He pondered, what he should do
Deciding he should try his hand
At a sentence, here or there
With a mighty breath, he blew
Now there’s fire, everywhere!
Whatever shall he tell her
When Mistress sees the mess
“I tried to fix your manuscript
I really must confess!
These scribbles made no sense to me
All I saw were smudges, nothing greater
So I decided to help rewrite the whole thing
I’m sure you’ll thank me for it later!”

“post humously” – is this the new word for the lexicon today😃

It’s a real word… one rather than 2 though. Posthumously meaning after death! 🤤😲😱

Knew “Posthumously ” but not “post humously”😊. I thought maybe it meant after all “humors” are dead but then it was missing a “r”.

Come on Ritu, just because you are a teacher should not give you the right to test our intelligence at all time🙂

“So I decided to help rewrite the whole thing” – hope not. Another eighteen years, now that’s a long time. Better practice your belly dancing. Only five more years to go😊

I told you before, this book seems to want to be published post humously!
