Bogged Down in Blog
It’s hard to write while traveling–
your half-knit thoughts unraveling
as they call you in to talk
or have a meal or take a walk.
You sleep in other people’s houses,
wrinkles in your unpacked blouses,
possessions jumbled in your cases,
move at unfamiliar paces.
You live a life that’s not your own—
daily walking, driven, flown
while trying to remember faces,
confused by all these different places.
In the past I adored going—
miles passing, airwaves flowing.
I loved to move like a rolling log,
but that was when I didn’t blog!!!
Now I find I’m scurrying.
Wake up already hurrying.
I’m confused and frankly dumb,
forgetting where I’m coming from
as well as where I’m going to.
I’ve lost a sock and lost one shoe.
Still, I find time to write each day,
here in some room, hidden away.
This daily writing’s an addiction
that makes real life a dereliction!
I short my hosts to do my writing.
I’ve given up my life for citing!
The RDP prompt today is unraveling.

It’s not that bad Judy but for sure blogging is addicting.

It really isn’t. I’m given to exaggerating (or sometimes downright lying) in my poetry. Forgive me. All in pursuit of the word.

I’d love to come visit sometime, Ann. Have thought this for years. Perhaps it will happen one of these years.
