A free verse dedicated to my blogging buddies.

 

I am Lyle,  The Struggling Blogger had declared falsely.

Writing to Exhale, he skedaddled into his Sugar Coated world.

You see, he was Born on a Syzygy too that’s why he is a Third World Geek

It’s all a Matter of Perspective really.

And  I would not blame his friend, Zorlone, if he thinks upon Reflection:

that he’s got to visit Ceblogger’s Sports Blog instead of hanging out with him.

The good doctor is a badminton enthusiast, you know.

Kelvinonian ideas on the other hand, might work as a Pamatay Homesick for him.

And Tales from the Mom Side usually comfort people.

But if it does not, then reading theYatot Chronicles might do the trick .

Or he might be needing an exercise and A Walk in the Dark would rejuvenate his soul.

And if everything else fails, then he should hop over to Pinoy Sounding Board.

This would definitely save the day for his transient stay in this mundane existence .

    What fun, Jen! Brava!

    Uh-huh. I guess I haven’t skedaddled fast enough eh? Holly beat e to it. Ahahaha.

    But what is Triond, Jen? Is it something you recommend I struggle with? It’s not enough I write in my sugar coated world? You’d rather wean me away from thirdworldgeek’s naughty embrace?

    Triond might be something to die for? Can’t I just rest on my laurels having been born on a syzygy?

    Do I need another sounding board for my fevered imaginings?
    Don’t I earn my spurs just by walking in the dark? Not enough I hide my broken bones in my sleeves and will myself to exult, “Jai Ho. Jai Lo!”

    Must I Triond when I can just triumph by writing to exhale?

    It’s all a matter of perspective really, your eyes silently admonished me while your hugs gently stilled the doubts in my mind. In the company of friends, questions are answered even before they’re formed, aren’t they.

    Hey Jan,

    You made a better one. Yehey! The poet is finally coming out into the light of day…he he he.

    You’re invited to write for triond.com. You get paid to enjoy what you’re doing. It’s not so much but well, I am here primarily to enjoy.

    Come on, sign up under me…he he he.

    Beautifully written Jen and Jan,

    How about a poetry collaboration between the two of you. I am sure that Jan wont write by himself. he he he.

    What say you?

    Roy is right, I am thinking of making another blog. Just for the fun of it. He he he.

    Jan is a very good poet, I think I would mar his thoughts if I interrupt the flow. lol

    Jen: I’ve what you call a petulant, prissy poetic voice. Perhaps borne out of being a bachelor – never having been made answerable to a wife or children or partner.

    My vision of the world is limited to put it kindly. You guys would make a much needed counterpoint to my lean understanding of things. :)
