its OLN at the d’Verse pub
so I search my mental hub
done poems on pandemic
and my out of control mind
done some on nature, love
my flaws and being kind
the topics are endless
my supply stupendous
but what do you really want
seems angst and romance
are the real drawcards
I’ve encountered both
but others do them better
have written you a love letter
done unicorns and moonbeams
rainbows fiction and reblogged
others words that have inspired
to entertain inspire and question
maybe a stream of consciousness
might have to suffice
not sure if wise advice
is always nice …
This poem sums up pretty well the dilemma about choosing themes, Kate. I like the lines ” coz challenging with wise advice vanishes quicker than dry ice.” Love the rhyme and the imagery. and the message is so true! All the best, Cheryl

This is crisp and succinct! ❤️ I resonate with “seems angst and romance are the real drawcards I’ve encountered both,”… no matter what time and age.. we continue to explore both these topics.

Well technically my blog is on WordPress.org 🙂 and yes I always get your comments.
I used to offer prompts on Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie a few years ago. Which is why I still have access to WordPress.com
It seems to me that they never took me off the site even though I am not part of the team.

Firstly, being the naive boy that I am…. I had to look up what “OLN” was/meant….. ok, now I understand.. I think…. And now I so agree with Cheryl’s comments…
This beautiful song sums it up…..

Ha! and That’s sweet…but, you’ll be filling the gap for a l-o-n-g time. 🙂 I write a lot…poems…and I’ve written 3 books, but none of them are good enough to get published. And I’ve helped friends do self-publishing…it’s a LOT of work and then there are not enough people who want to buy.
So I just write for my blog and for my own “therapy” and pleasure. 🙂

I sometimes think I’ve run out of things to post about and then life happens and tosses a few more things into my lap… there do seem to be a few underlying themes but that’s what a moral compass will do!
