Bloggers
We volley bandishments about, exchanging back and forth
words sent on the Internet from east, west, south and north.
We cajole and we wheedle as we trade behests.
From district one to district two, we answer all requests.
Janet wants a recipe that Dolly can provide.
Lydia posts Trump travesties that she cannot abide.
Angloswiss , VJ and Cee and Bob from far Australia,
trading photographs of houses, flowers and regalia.
Fashion blogs and flower blogs and fantasy and news.
We write of our journeys, our fetes and family dos.
Poems about our handbags, our fashion and our shoes,
answering each other’s queries, cancelling each other’s blues.
Derrick tells of travels and the highlights of his dinners.
Regina writes of travel life and family and sinners.
We all have our favorite schticks from India to Nome.
Marilyn writes of birds and dogs and Manja writes of Rome.
Me? I merely write the poems that the prompts demand,
and be they dumb or heart-wrenching, pedestrian or grand,
abject apologies offered if you find them bland.
Prompt words today were shoe, district, volley and abject.
There were a dozen other bloggers I would have liked to include, but I had to be ready and on the road by 9 this morning so I was rushed in getting this out. To all the other blogs I regularly follow, you know who you are.

Fantastic!

I sure do love your blogs, Judy. And your photos. And your poems. And your musings. Generally, I just love you and all you give to us in your dailies. Thanks.

We went to see the retreat center today and booked it, Judy. It is fabulous. Are you planning two extra days at my house for you and Gina? If so, before or after the retreat?

Ahh, look at that! 🙂 Am I glad to find this! I saw that title and said that I had to read it and when I saw some names mentioned, I didn’t recognise most of them and then I saw my name! 😮 What a lovely surprise! Thank you so much, Judy. You’re right – each of us does it in our own way and that’s why it’s so wonderful. Hail hail, bloggers of the world!
