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

I sure relate to your poems. Some of them I think I could have written myself. Well, OK you're better at putting introspection into words - but I like to think I'm getting there. I even used the same blog template on my first blog - which is probably what peaked my curiosity - such a silly reason. I too am also retired and have been blogging for a little over a year. "Nearly a Year" really summed up the blogging experience for me - perfectly.
