Sorry!

I'm always meaning to blog, and I do have things I want to write about, but it never seems to get done. I have drafts of posts that I've started writing and then gotten stuck on, or saved to finish later and then forgotten about. I seem to have a problem with finishing things. Beginnings I can do, endings not so much. Do I spy a possible topic for a future post there? Maybe. Although if performance up until now is anything to go by, that post, of course, will probably never happen.

In any case, I've been super busy and will probably continue to be so in coming weeks but I will definitely try to set aside some time to write here. And even if that doesn't happen, you may get, and don't laugh at me here....you may just get a vlog. In the meantime, since people seemed to like the one a few posts/months back, I thought I'd share another poem. I wrote it a couple years ago and I think it's my favorite out of all my poems, so I hope you enjoy it too.

Cheap Tricks

Ladders, mirrors

A black cat

Watch the rabbit

Come out of the hat

Magic, luck, it's all the same

Gullible minds are its favorite prey

Pick a card, any card

Doesn't matter, isn't hard

To see that it's short-lived amusement

A moment of wonder, thrill, confusion

Until you learn how the trick is done

And your bubble of enchantment

Pops.

Gone.
