The List of What Are Not
what is the fascination
with my art of procrastination?
what is the whimpering sound
made when his father’s around?
what is the glance turned aside
when I walk beside you with pride?
what is the moan that precedes
the fingering of rosary beads?
what is the human condition
that precludes life’s extradition?
what is the meaning of this
list that I’ve sealed with a kiss?

Last week, I started a poetry blog, MeeAugraphie, and found a weekly Haiku meme to do at One Deep Breath. This led me to Brian’s blog, Truth is Freedom. Can’t wait to see where else I am led. But, I will stop with Brian’s post on the 23rd, asking why we blog. I have seen others pondering it, but this time I replied, in part:
I blog because words demand to tumble out, pictures beg to be displayed, and if I have evoked emotions in anyone, I have lived. But it is also that if any of us write something that makes a difference in one person’s life, if only momentarily, the world is made better.I love variety in blogs, I love to click on the next blog, not knowing if I will only get a peek through the barely opened curtains over their heart and mind or see them out on the lawn in full view.
To add to that, I blog because it feels right, it makes me smile, it makes me think (OK, that was never a problem.) Primarily, I blog because I instinctively know my words are meant to be shared with someone. It may not be you today, it may not be anyone that reads this week, but I know I made a difference to someone and will again. It is what I am meant to do.

Night Lights
Why is it that
I cannot make
a simple wish
only for me
or the two of us
when stars shoot across
the barren sky?
Why do I feel I have
to wish for others instead?
Why do I feel I have
not yet done enough?
Perhaps,
because
I
have
not.
