Dedicated x’s Thirty

( DUP’s NaPoWriMo 2018 )
 
I keel’ed over,
Knock’d out, shock’d,
Once it hit me—
Another year
Another “dollar”,
My system, spent;
 
Worthy investment
In dedication.
Another NaPo’s
Come and gone,
Though unlike any  
Road this poet’s done.
 
I crash’d and burn’d,
On my feet & then
To bed all day,
Perchance to sleep.
No phone no dreams,
Short-circuited.  
 
Middle o’ the night,
I shuffle over
Blurry-eyed  
In my slippers  
To thank  
The powers-that-be,
 
In my dressing gown,
The unique
Opportunity
Unlike no other  
I’d completed in  
The NaPo before:  
 
Respectfully bow,
We send up a cheer
1st Shadow Guardian
Our Webmiss’s
Hard work for us,
🖋🖌W’ honors, present!🖋🖌
 
We’ll never forget
Our co-hosts of words  
🐌Ahavati and John 🐌
With both pens in hand
Going out in a  
“Blaze” of glory!  
 
& last but not least,
Congratulations,
💁🏻‍♀️Participants ALL!🏆
We’ve proven
We can do it,
And do it with pride!
 
Until we all meet
Again... a pen salute!
