Pic collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ Red Hill ~ one of the most scenic landscapes on the Mornington Peninsula
Meme Express prompt ~ festive + fireworks + fun + family
~
One year ago today I began blogging
Not really sure where I would travel
Poetry would be there
But I longed for pics ~
My own pics
~
Finally
Within the year
My dream to own
A digital camera
Became real
~
So now
I try to bring
The landscapes
I love
Close to
The poetry
I love to write
~
THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE WANDERED HERE AND SHARED MY WORLD.
YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO KEEP WRITING!
And today, my spirit is filled with the festive spirit of fireworks! Yippee!
~
P.S. This post has now become an extra celebration. I celebrate my contact with the Writer's Island family of bloggers and the host, Rob Kistner. He intends to close the prompt element of Writer's Island. To quote my comment just made to Rob on the Writer's Island website: It is thanks to you that my blogging world opened. By chance, you found my blog, posted a wonderful comment about my poetry, then invited me to Writer’s Island. This was where I discovered the world of prompts. Since then, I have explored others, but have always posted regularly to Writer’s Island, my first “home”.
Lately, armed with my digital camera, my writing is finding new worlds. But it all really began with you, giving me confidence to get my writing known! For that, I cannot thank you enough.
So. I wish you eternal happiness in your creative world. It is a very important sanctuary.
THANK YOU ROB! IT HAS BEEN A FUN TIME

No doubt about the old saying about a picture 'saying a thousand words'. Your pictures do just that.
Wonderful poetry, lovely pictures - both to behold.
I stopped by before and could not find a place to comment, perhaps all the interesting things kept my eyes wandering. This is a beautiful blog. I must come back and visit.
You have a most beautiful soul Miss Gemma, it has given you the freedom to express who you really are and it is a privilege to get to know you through your words and vision...congrats on your blog...

Lady Gemma,
May this words add to your joy in celebration of the 1st year of Gemma's Greyscale Territory ~ the corner that showcase your works, your words, your photography, your gift, your soul.
I am blessed finding your corner and be inspired by your wonderful creations. I am blessed for your visits in my web nook and your encouraging words and valuable feedbacks of my works.
It is sad that Writers Island would be close for now, but I am grateful for the island for it was instrumental for me to met kindred souls like you.
I wish you inspiration and may you contenue to pour the oil of your soul in your works for in that way you soothe many more souls thirsting and hungry.
I share your joy in the celebration of your gift.
I wish you well.

Congrats on your first year - and best of luck with the next.
It's always a pleasure to visit.
Congrats on your blogoversary, long may you continue to post to the blogisphere...
hi gemma, i have enjoyed watching the changes take shape in your blog. congratulations on your 1 year anniversary! i have 3 blogs going, and none of them are a year old, yet. Most of my photos are on my 'non-poetry' blog but i am thinking i need to add more as i write poetry. i really liked the widget you had with the visitor's comments; whatever happened to that? i had it on my blog and suddenly it seemed to die. any idea how to get something else like it? anyway, congrats again, and i'll be back! jan
Gemma -
Across the many miles . . . I am pleased and honored to be your blogging friend. Your photos and verses inspire me and so many.
Congratulations and blessings on your one-year anniversary!
Blessings,
Linda
