Writing poems

 

Writing Poems

It seems I’m writing poems. So bizarre. So

Far I’ve written eight, often

Late in the evening after drinking

Whisky or wine and

Thinking profound (not really) thoughts, but sometimes, like now, I wonder

How can I do this? I don’t even like poetry. Not usually anyway. But what can I

Say? I’m doing it. And then I wonder

What

In the world I’m going to do with them? I’ve posted some on FB and my friends have been kind and clicked on like but

What

Is the point? There is no

Point. I just do it. I still want to share but

Where? I could vanity publish but no one buys poetry and it’s quite a cost for books that would quickly be

Lost among my stacks of unbought books. Oh yes, here’s a thought. I’ll start a new blog, I already have

Two so it should be easy. Hurrah for

Poetry. So with aplomb I invite you to visit

rubyspoetry@blogspot.com

It will no doubt Linger. I talked to his photo every day. Good morning, sweetie. Bye, Sweetie. I’m going to the library, Sweetie. Sometimes I’d kiss it, pick it up and hug it, or just touch it. Then not so much. Life takes over. Life goes on. Sometimes I was surprised to see the the photo there, to see this shrine to the man I was married to. For more than fifty years I was a wife, then I was – am – a widow, Such strang...

Scrolling

Scrolling When I’m blue I scroll on Face Book. Do you Too? Does it cheer me up to Look at Nicola Walker on the National Theatre or what could be Sweeter than cute cats? I’m hooked on those posts with Two photos comparing old celebrities with their younger selves and who dated who or Britain’s Got Talent, incredible voices, Amanda Rejoices and Simon cracks a smile. Meanwhile I move from FB to YouTube and Tipping Point and Pointless, oh Happiness when the discs tip and the points go to zero and the winner is a Hero. Ms Mojo is cool too, the best or worst of something or the best and worst of ESC, that’s how I Flee the blues. It doesn’t really help but that’s what I Do. You should try it Too. I can’t stop extolling Scrolling.
