Visitor
She waits by the lake
He returns
Unaware
She returns, into the depths
Dragging him along

Where once I followed many blogs, tis not the case today
Seems WordPress played around again, let some get away
Wondering why, I couldn’t see their posts, in my reader
Clicked the link on my desktop, no follow, WP, the ringleader
Perhaps it might be favorable, to beta test an update, before
You apply it to all of us, and send us “flying” out the door
Now I have to go back, try to remember who I’m missing
I promise you it wasn’t me, who started all this dissing!
So if you’ve missed me in your feed, take a look to see
If the Follow is a blasé grey, then, please click it, just for me!
Dear Lord, what a mess!!! I couldn’t understand why I was missing so many of you in my reader, until The Haunted Wordsmith pointed out she had lost so many blogs she follows!! Enough already! leave the stuff that works ALONE!

Sneaking up behind her, just as quietly as could be
Some gremlins come a ‘calling, for those cookies
They don’t want to scare her, so, patiently, they wait
Perhaps, she’ll notice them, or else it be too late
These little guys are hungry, she’s an impediment
Sweets are all they need, for a little nourishment
They have to grab the box, then safely get away
Hoping she won’t chase them, they don’t want to play
Still, she doesn’t see them, the closer they become
Almost there, not too much more, to steal a cookie crumb
No, they say, they want it all, of this they have no doubt
And so this ends the tale, of the gremlins and Girl Scout

Whilst riding along, on the ferry, cross stream
With a captain, quite cavalier, and in his prime
Into the dock, we crashed, which created a scene
Seems the captain forgot, to drop anchor, on time
Word of the Day – Ferry
FOWC with Fandango – Prime
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Drop

Come lie with me
Among the wildflowers
Fragrant with the promise
Of mornings first light
Come lie with me
As sunlight dances upon us
Under skies of blue
And faceless clouds
Come lie with me
Amidst the moonlit shadows
Gently caressing the night
A fantasy of stars
Dancing in the heavens
Come lie with me
And dream
Of yesterdays and wildflowers
Of sunlight and clouds
Of moonlight and stars
And tomorrows yet to come
