in honor of dVerse’s 7th Anniversary
An occasion for looking back
And for looking ahead
Appreciative of the journey
Alive with a closer bond
Alight with the joy of goals accomplished
Alongside kindred spirits
Aspiring to fulfill their destiny

I love the way this works and thanks for the information about the style. Just on reading I thought how well it worked and gave appropriate tribute to Anniversaries. Seems to flow effortlessly.

Thank you. I love exploring new forms, and so I like to include the form description with the poem. I believe it both adds significance and educates, and I am an educator at heart.
