Dear WordPress kindly keeps a log
of those who come to read my blog
this year the numbers started high
but I know they soon drop if I
don’t post one day, or even two
so daily posts I try to do.
I’ve all the time I need to write
but inspiration can take flight
I need a prompt, something I’ve read
or something that I’ve seen instead
to gently prod the muse awake
and give creative juice a shake.
Sometimes my writing may seem tired
but other times it’s most inspired
and if there’s comments (more than one)
I feel my work has been well done
my self-esteem is greatly buoyed
to know my writing is enjoyed.

It’s a special moment in my day
When I discover what you want to say
I.d be sad if it should go away.

I read your posts most days
Oft on my phone and other ways
Leaving a comment isn’t hard
I’m just lazy, and can’t think of a word to rhyme

Hello Ruth! The Scorpio event was lovely and I’ve just done a house concert, which was beautiful too. Yes, glorious autumn weather.
