Notes About The Poem

Sorry friends, Ive been away for the holidays. Hoping you all had a blessed Christmas.

Sorry - I'Ve Not Been Around

Sorry, I've not been around 
But for Christmas time...I was Texas bound 
I hadn't time for poetry 
First time there...had much to see
 
Like longhorn bulls, in tamed stampedes
Cactus plants and tumbleweeds 
Saw Dallas Cowboys and their fans 
Then lightning came...made other plans
 
I went to see, a southern show
Bull-riders lassoing at a rodeo
Ate Texas toast and eggs with grits 
Didn't agree, gave me the ..... (lol)

But all is well, and I'm back home 
Now I've got time...to write a poem 
Hope ya'll, had a blessed Christmas 
Sorry about, your poems I've missed
 
But I'll catch up...I'll read the soup
Get myself, back in the loop
Get myself, back into gear
Wish ya'll...a nice New Year
 
Then see you after...in poetry 
Swapping smiles...you and me 
Sharing writes and sharing time 
Thank you...dear friends of mine

I know that Texas was a grand place to visit this time of year when it is a little cooler. Awesome that you enjoyed your trip and got to do so much while you were there. Thanks for the honor of placing in your contest. Sara
