ng_moonmoth and DW user Capriuni. It also fills the "sensory deprivation" square in my 6-10-15 card for the Genprompt Bingo fest, and the "child endangerment" square in my 10-2-15 card in the Ladiesbingo fest. This poem belongs to the series An Army of One.

Good news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.
