nearly a year

it's been nearly
a year
since the BLOGGING
began

I was nervous
all day
after that
first
fateful
POST

yea gads
someone will see
they will "read" me

they might even
comment
and say
"i suk"

(so far, no comments)
and I've earned about
a dollar, seventy five.

but the people who read
they're from all over...
the world...
-imagine that!

-maybe very bored-
or - lost on the internet-
whatever
-I want them to know
that I appreciate their visit-
I look at the numbers 
as they
climb dizzily into the
TRIPLE digits
(more than a hundred!)
yea gads!

but it's addictive
this computer writing stuff
a little like a crossword puzzle
only more fun
intuitive
creative
words
dancing around
chasing a meaning
puzzling out
something
worth seeing
worth commenting
on
maybe to share
an idea
a smile
an a-ha moment
we're all in this together
this life
and we'll all end up
going
the same place
(maybe different compartments
for different beliefs)
but we'll be there-
and on time

for once




Christmas List

Happy Christmas
to us all

They say
Christmas
will be sunny
and warm

I will go to the beach
and contemplate
the waves

I don't do enough
of that
I will put it on my
list

The one I make
every year

I wonder, if I find
a list from long ago
Will anything on it
have been done ?

Or was it all
just wishful thinking
-Gemini imagination-

-as I look at stacks
of papers...
there may be a list
in there...

I will certainly
put it on my list
-this year-
to make inroads...,
excursions...
into and among
the stacks
of papers

I wish someone else
could do it
Maybe Santa Claus
and all his reindeer
Maybe the elves

they could do the work
and leave me cookies!
that would be a good plan!
-I'll put it on my
list-
