This one’s too religious,
this one’s selling stuff,
this one’s in a language
that I don’t parlay enough.
That one’s background’s way too dark,
can hardly read the text,
while that one . . .
well, not too sure where the poetry is,
so I move on to the next.
Some are just too wordy,
and some are downright trite,
so I continue searching
for the one that feels
more right.
At last there’s those so perfect,
the voice of souls who yearn,
who let it out to let you in,
whisperers above the din.

That pretty much says it all. 🙂
Thank you, Linda G. 🙂 —Chagall
The words of a weary WordPress wanderer nailed beautifully. Nicely done.
Thank you, Mike. For your reading pleasure, the lost verse that didn’t make it into the post:
Some are way too sexy,
there’s nothing wrong with that,
i just can’t spend my evenings
with my lap beneath my hat
🙂 🙂

Publish, you wimp 😛

I’m saving it for a longer piece.

Is that a promise or a pun?
Hopefully a harbinger of good things yet to come this young Saturday night, here in the Northeast, USA. —C
You’re good value Carlos (:
Thank you, Mike. (that’s a smile and not a frown – yes?)
THAT was an attempt to close this conversation (if still challenged, rotate monitor 90° counter-clockwise).
Thank you, Mike. 2 things:
1. I think it good policy to let the commenter NOT have the last word. Not because I’m an ego maniac, but because to respond lets the commenter know that they’ve been heard – an ACK of sorts.
2. My only challenge is staying patient with someone like yourself.
Have a good one down-under, mate.
I have adopted your policy #1 😀
🙂 Hasta la próxima, mi amigo. —Chagall
Póg mo Thóin a Chara – Mike
Hard to do so with your head shoved up there so high and tight.
I surrender. C’est terminé. sob.
