Why do I keep posting, for goodness sake
Once a fictional story turns real
Then it turns to a dream where you dream to awake
When you wake up, again its unreal..
So you have to discover that fables are true
They're not figments of imagination
Truth is so wide these days, only for you
It’s an option of endless vacation
What’s the reason to manage this page, I don’t know
It’s a fool’s business thing I keep doing
I am busy for no one, just making a show
For a day, which another day ruins.
The envelope
unopened
addressed
to himself
Inside
unspoken
old hopes
and dreams
Lost
and rerouted
the stamp was
foreign
Its port of entry
still
—unforeseen

It's unsettling when a friend stops posting
With no advance notice or explantation of closing
The thought of their passing
Is immediately distressing
Tis human to think negative a natural emotion
I take you with me where I go
Your carriage is my heart aglow
You ride inside in comfy rooms
My love and my affection blooms
I take you out when I arrive
When I'm with you I come alive
Your troubadour, the red guitar
Wants his bluebird near, not far
I've loved you now for many years
I knew I did I just denied
That it was real, I had my fears
But kept them tucked away inside
I don't deny it anymore
I just enjoy the fact it's you
Who has become my treasure store
A jewel whom no one can outdo
It's unsettling when a friend stops posting
With no advance notice or explantation of closing
The thought of passing
Is immediately distressing
'Tis human to think negative a natural emotion
Please Advise:
If the Universe posted a submission of my poem six times today ( yours yesterday. Or tmorrow) how best to remedy this situation? Nothing is damaged if two CLiCKS posted the same poem ( on 7 the Jan 2022) multiple times, or is there?
The important point for me is "Do I lose the names or clicks of those on the copies I delete from PS?" There are perhaps 5 copies totalling 48 clucks, the one leading with 17 clucks at this hour. Thanx so much. Shalom shalom (The Universe waves Hi to you: Happy 2022)
post a poem
get scolded
there just waiting
pondering
on his next monometer
thoughts racing for a mimic
on his eight foot octameter
once again pondering
if he'll jolt it for yet another mimic
It's unsettling when a friend stops posting
With no advance notice or explantation of closing
The thought of passing
Is immediately distressing
Tis human to think negative a natural emotion
To post a poem
Show me the post office
Postman whom?
To post a poem
“That’s so you!” The besom lassie cries,
And ticks the Like to send a winged
Mercury with laughing smiles.
“Indeed” I reply, frowning brow
Troubled by an existential paradox:
Who else might I be?
Me. Myself. This fragment of life;
Who am I? And why am I not he?
Him, or Her? What ambitions might
I have to be transformed, and live
A doubled life? Begone perplexing
Thoughts, it enough that I am me.
But then the thought creeps in, which
Me am I? There is a me on the inside,
And a me on the outside that others see;
And would I had their eyes, to compare
The two. Maybe the stoater lassie’s right
“That’s so you!” is who I really am.
When away from my computer,
I will post my poems instead
Finger-pecking on my cell phone,
In the hope that they’ll be read.
Though it takes a little longer
And to errors I am prone,
I am helpless to correct them;
All the blame goes to the phone.
So at times these poems are posted
More than once or even twice,
Leaving me a bit embarrassed
Since just one time would suffice.
When I’m home again, my desktop
Helps correct my every glitch
And the new posts that I enter
Will go off without a hitch.
My apologies to readers
If you see a poem repeat.
Maybe someday on my cell, I’ll learn
Just how I can delete.
Hey guys sorry for not posting I've just been really busy with my life. And school starts tomorrow so yeah I probably won't be posting poems for a while.
Thoughts formed into words
written to be heard
Accepted or liked
maybe it might
Fall flat
get laughed at
Be dumb
ridicule by some
Or by chance
at a second glance
It could be good
understood
Do I dare
share?
Something of me
others could read
Poetry.

Posting Personal Information Online
By Elton Camp
What facts would you share if you meet
Some unknown person out on the street?
Your interests, work, home & vacation plans
Would you place into his outstretched hands?
Yet, such information posted to a social site
Can be, to one who wants to harm us, a delight
How private will such material actually be?
How can we know who may come to see?
If you wouldn’t put it onto a public bulletin board
Releasing the material online is sure to be abhorred
The reader may be a swindler or a sex pervert
Who will use the things we post to our hurt
So just simply ignore this advice if you will
But be aware that some crook it may so thrill
