I know
This blog is a solo show
That I’ve blown.
I alone
Have sown
The woes
Of those
Who first dove
Into my poems
Who were then forced
To forego
No more rhymed prose.
An open hole
Was wove
In their souls.
You may find
Too much time
Has gone by
To unwind
The line
Of no rhyme.
I apologize.
I consign
The crime
To unwise
Use of free time.
Originally
This was meant to be
Updated and seen
Weekly.
Now let me see
How this travesty
Can possibly be
Redeemed,
'Cause a receded stream
Of rhyme schemes
May be
Received
As unseemly.
Weekly Wordplay!
Crazy to say
I’ve strayed
Enough days
That the name
Is frayed
And underplayed
And been made
To fade
Since I strayed
Away…
But I’ve changed.
I may
Not stay
Weekly, OK?
But I’ll remain
To sustain
A creative way
To keep “play”
In the name.
I won’t abuse
With a renewed
Year of missed cues.
Just pay my dues
And soothe.
Soon
You’’ll swoon
And croon
When I spoon-feed you
Haikus and other
Poetic tunes like a
Smooth soup.
This is no ruse.
Just the truth.
I’m back.
