Magic Carpet Ride Poem & Collage

Magic Carpet Ride

OWOH the magic carpet ride
I climbed aboard and let my carpet glide
All oe'r the world it flew to make myself new friends
And this is how my poem is about to begin....
To Spain and Rome, Australia, outward bound -
I even flew my carpet across the English Sound!
To Ancient Greece and Indian places sought
I soon would learn all the thing that are bought
On bloggers 'round the world you see
As I magically visited you and You me!
Paris stole my heart, in Vienna I lost my mind.
Not a nicer friend was made here at home, so kind!
New followers this event has brought to us all,
Who stayed awake all night, nimble fingers having a ball!
Germany, The Netherlands, many a new friend was made,
I even found new friends down in The Everglades!
Tiny islands all over the seas, and villages too
Some lived in crafty zones and others words so true...
Japan, The Philippines, newspapers, magazines.
Imagine if you can, realizing all your dreams
The magic carpet brought to us a new reality
A blogger spot, a new found friend, chatting sea to sea!

Poems My Way

And, here is the collage that goes with the poem; there are 40 countries represented in this collage from the countries around the world which we magic carpet riders visited. It was so much fun viewing all the blogs and seeing the talent out there...most of all I truly appreciate those special friends we have made.  

Thanks again to Lisa!

That's what I have been up to the last few days, and boy have I learned a great deal about importing and exporting images, jpegs, sig files, PDF and oh yeah, I probably should have taken typing and keyboarding in high school! So goes the learning curve, just  like the magic carpet... up, up, and away!
