Why wait a full ten years...

 Have you ever had things you wanted to do on a regular basis, but appear to completely lack the self discipline to make it happen? In the words of Brad Paisley, "Me Neither."

Grand plans and big ideas,
that never come about.

Best intensions and potential,

the days and years seem to flout.

Posts and poems sit in thought,

dying to see the light of day.

Falling by the wayside,

never quite finding their way.

Then a hope that things may change,

a brief return to again create and muse.

Will this time be the time it sticks,

or just another futile ruse?

Only the tale of time gone by,

the test of coming days or years,

will let me know if this was it,

or reveal more silence to our ears.

But verse is here today,

of that I can be certain.

If the future may be silent,

who am I to now complain?

That may be the first poem written on the fly since the first blog was deleted. I hope you enjoy it.

Hello World... Again

So I had a blog, hosted elsewhere, called Decoy's Poetry.

Somehow I, being the non-tech savvy person I am, managed to delete said blog, and have yet to find where I might have backed it up.

This is probably no great loss, both of us, who read my blogs, know that there where not that many posts, however I will continue to search for the back up, as I seem to recall at least one poem that I composed directly on the blog.

I hope to someday find this, "Lost Poem of Decoy".

In the mean time here is a verse to start the new version of this blog:

A mind that wanders, to and fro,
will it return? And even so,
if it shall, will I know?

That is it for now...

One verse composed on the fly,
hopefully not to be deleted,
as were blogs of days gone by.

OK. Perhaps two.

See you both here again soon, or not if past blogs are an indicator.
