World Poetry Day passed me by

I missed World Poetry Day because it fell on a Saturday and my Saturday was spent with our living family.

This is why I missed World Poetry Day

I started Googling around to see what I could post about the day and came across this post that my Genimate Shelley wrote in 2011.  Her poem is so apt as more and more people undertake genealogy testing for DNA.

You can read Shelley's geneapoem here: http://twigsofyore.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/world-poetry-day.html

We have a winner - Rootstech Competition

Thank you to all those who submitted entries in my recent competition to win a free registration to Rootstech 2015.

Congratulations go to the winner, Karla Robinett, who wrote an enthusiastic Geneapoem for her entry. If you feel like following Karla's example and writing a bit of Geneapoetry using the entries in the Geneadictionary please do. I would be delighted to publish your efforts there.

Here is Karla's entry:

I’m a Trogenealodyte holed up like a mouse.

 

Leafing through the Treetops in my Treehouse,

 

Decrapifying my Cousin’s Sourcey crap.

 

Sinking in a Tangential  Lineage Trap.

 

A Geneajaunt to Rootstech with Flying Monkeys will be

 

The true Genea – Jewel for a Geneafreak like me.

 

(I’ll be doing a Geneajigg!!!)

I hope Karla has her Dancing Shoes ready!
