This is my 2000th poem, <br />though not all are posted here. <br />A lot of my early work <br />just failed to pass the test of time <br />and have been left locked away. <br />I always told myself that when I reached 2000 <br />I would retire from poetry. <br />At least for a while. <br />I have other writing projects <br />that need my urgent attention <br />so I am saying a special thanks <br />to all those whom over the last two years <br />have read my poems <br />and left a comments here and there. <br />I also want to say thank you <br />to those who read my collaborations <br />with Jo Jo Bean and Meggie Gultiano <br />as Jo Jo Bean, Dodgy Dave and Meggie Gultiano, <br />and my alias Howard ‘Howie’ Johnson. <br />I say thank you to every one of you. <br />To say that I am leaving is not quit right; <br />I will still be reading and commenting <br />from time to time. <br />It is just that I will not be posting <br />for the foreseeable future. <br />Thank you once again for all the support <br />you have given me <br />and God Bless every one of you. <br /> <br />8 August 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/special-thanks-3/
