WDC - My Perfect Online Place

Imagine my delight
To find such a wonderful site.
Like minded souls
Escape from the trolls.

Where the world seemed too much for me
I needed an escape, you see
I made many friends here
They blanketed my fear.

Wrapped it up and sent it flying
Where once writing had been trying
It flourished in the bargain
I was able to hope again.

I have been here over three years
Experienced many happy tears
Especially when gifted my yellow case
I knew I had found my online place.


Note: I joined WDC in March 2012 so that means I need 4 stanzas.
