A Quick Note (regarding WP spam filter)

Just a quick note, to my friends, far and near

Please don’t think I ignore those I hold dear

Your comments always mean to the world to me

I try to reply back, as long as I can see

The black of your text, saying hi or whatever

But WordPress, again, is squashing my endeavor

I have found you scattered, in the spam, on my blog

Good thing I keep checking, that silly ole log

So forgive me, for taking so long to respond

I’ve finally saved you from drowning, in the WP pond

Blanketed in leaves

An apple, harvest’s sweet bliss

Tastes of autumn’s zest

6th in the “Saturday Stars” photography series on my blog.

I will be taking weekends off from sharing poetry until further notice, so I decided to share some of my favorite photos.  I hope you enjoy them.  Of course, I’ll still be doing my #DailyHaikuChallenge/September Writing.  🙂

Fountain of Fizz ~ #SeptemberWriting #poetry

To be read as the famous green frog we all know and love  🙂


I’ve drowned myself
In a fountain of fizz
She left me this way
Such a diva, she is

All I can see
When I look around
Are bottles and bottles
Strewn on the ground

There’s one in my hand
And a pounding in my head
And an angry blonde glaring
Now, this I do dread

She said to remember
What I did just last night
But I think I forgot
And that gives me a fright

Did I behave like a toad?
It’s all a bit groggy
No wonder I’m feeling
A little bit froggy

I think that it’s best
To find my own way
I’ve turned a bit green
Though I like me this way

Back at the pond
I won’t drink anymore
Lest, again, my dear piggy
Finds me on the floor

Dazzling nature’s eye

With a spectrum of color

Autumn paints the leaves
