to emily, my spiritual muse
After blog browsing for almost a month now, I think it’s time I post a poem. I thought the best place to start would be a tribute to my blogging comrades, picking up the themes I’ve noticed most often on various sites and doing my best to pay homage to the distinct style of Internet poetry.
So, here goes…
my blog, my friend
you are there when I need you
need you, need you
my dog shakespeare licks my ears
and places known only to me (maybe god)
comforting places, quiet places
loving, loving
my cat cummings watches me caress the keyboard
staring as if she knows
what can not be known
in the secret world of cyberspace
friends far and wide who care
care, care
my baby is crying
time to start the day.

more on poems and poetry…
I have thought about erasing my entire blog all day.
The Pistol fires back: Hang in there. Things might get better.
Good one!
When I first created a blog on Blogger, its title was “My Blog, My Friend”! :-)
But I don’t use it anymore, though it’s still there.
Keep writing and composing…
