This will be my third time, yes
Count them, one, two, three
That I am asking you to fix
The problems that we see

The reader’s still a mess
Now the stats are jumbled, too
Maintenance comes at awkward times
So what are we to do?

Friends are disappearing
Yes, it’s really quite insane
To have to seek them out once more
And follow them again

Likes become unlikings
And our visitors, absentee
Spam is taking over
Where the comments used to be

We really love you dearly
We know you love us, too
So kindly straighten up the site
Before we bid adieu

See, we’re the ones who make you rock
But your changes really suck
Just make the bad ones go away
Before we don’t give a….

Days Once Strong

Sheltered by these palace walls

Where only echoed voices fall

Reflections of the sun, so bright

Shimmering in the morning light

She illuminates the dark, the gloom

While her earthly petals bloom

And blossom o’er this hallowed land

Where the mighty, once were grand

Standing tall, she takes their place

And fills the land with shining grace

Flocks of birds that flutter by

Dance and soar, up to the sky

Singing to her, their haunting song

As they reminisce of days once strong

Reminding her of a time so rife

Awakening her soul, renewing her life

Inquietude

It’s 3AM and I’m still awake

I walk to the window and pull back the drape

And stare at a moonless starlit sky

And wonder aloud, why is it I

Cannot find the sleep I so desperately crave

These thoughts overtake me, to a point where I cave

And slink back to my desk like a cat on the prowl

After all, it is why I am called the Night Owl

Without a Care

She reads aloud without a care

Unafraid that I am there

I have to wonder what she sees

When at last she looks at me

Continuing on with her journey in mind

She speaks of a forest, so soft and so kind

Of places that sparkle in emerald green

Of creatures she’s never really seen

Of beauty concealed in faraway lands

All this from the book

That she holds with her hands

Still she sits here before me

Enrapt in the story

As she utters the words

I can’t help but adore thee

Slow Drift

I’m drifting,

Like gently fallen snow,

Blown by winter’s sigh.

Swirling freely,

Taking flight, then

Softly falling,

Slowly drifting by.
