I'm planning to go to 3 times a week with posting in my blog starting in June, so that it opens more time for my family and my writing.So here's a tribute to my blog readers written by
by Frankie from Frankie's Poetry After Noon.
Thank you, Frankie!
The muse is silent
Perhaps on coffee break
I can take it
Is that a bark in the backyard
A knock at the door
Never mind, I've been here before
In fact, I enjoy the silence
To read a book or clean, listen to birds
Or music...MUSE-ic...Is that a pun?
I could doodle, make boats out of noodles
Oh, my, what fun not to worry
She'll come when she comes
I'm patient, no hurry, no worry
Why get mean about it
Laid back, easy going, happy-go-lucky
Perhaps she's with some other writer
Taller, who knows, one who never
Rhymes, writes strictly prose
Who hates metaphor
I've read that type before
Maybe she prefers that
Oh, I'm not jealous
She's a muse and grown
Hundreds of years old and free
To see whom she pleases
I don't own her
I'm just wondering
Where could she be?
Jealous? Worried?
C'mon, buddy, it's me!
I'm just wondering
WHERE ON EARTH COULD SHE BE!!!

Aw, I'll miss you on Tuesdays and Thursdays but your family and writing must come first. Love the poem!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the poem!! Muses could be so elusive sometimes and so touchy too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful decision to make. Good luck with your writing and enjoy your family - because they both come first, always!
Take care

Cute poem! I blog three days a week, I couldn't imagine doing more! Enjoy your extra time with family and writing. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the poem!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I think three times a week is still a great presence while allowing you time to focus on other needs (writing, the family, etc)
Man I don't even know how you have managed five days a week. You are amazing. Glad you are only cutting back and not cutting out.
ReplyDeleteLove that, it's got such a great tone and subject!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to open up more time for your family and writing. No one ever said you had to blog every day!
This three times a week thing is looking more attractive now work and home have gotten busier for me. It's an admirable goal, to spend more time with your family and writing, good lady. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteNice poem! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon--I'll definitely miss you, too! It's been a bit tough doing a 7-day blog, even though I love it to pieces!! *hugs* :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wishes, Jennifer, I need all the luck with my writing and fun with my family! ;)
Susan, how I admire you! I'm so used to doing a full week, I'm wondering how I'll manage 3? Think it'll be a smooth transition? I hope so!
O_O
Jaydee, thank you! I'm looking forward to it--and I know my kids will love it, too! :D
Amber, thank you! I'd miss you if I cut out. I couldn't do that.
LOL, Sangu, you are right, it's amazing how freeing that little phrase means to me! *hugs* I can't wait for your Character Blogfest, it'll be soooo fun! :D
Hello Simon, I wish you the best as well--especially with the summer vacation coming up! :)
Laura! Thank you--see ya Thursday! ;)
Thank you, busy-bee-Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shannon, Old Kitty, Susan, Jaydee, Sangu, and lbdiamond!
ReplyDeleteGreat poem! Loved it :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the extra time with your family!
I like the poem. Good for you, adjusting blog time for writing and family. If there were only more hours in a day, huh? ;)
ReplyDeleteFrankie! There you are--your poems rock!! ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteI will, Jemi, thank you! :D
Dawn, yes, I wish there were more hours in the day. *Sigh*
Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI was Frankie (my pen name) but now I'm Alex, (the name my mama gave me). I was trying to write poems so quietly that my inner critic would not hear about them and destroy them. It didn't work. So I'm Alex with two poems having survived the deluge.
