A note to friends at the cafe'

just a little note to tell you what's up

A little note to let you know what I am up to
I'll do it in a sorta poem so I won't bore you,
Faithful readers please don't go, I implore you ...
I am not in a writing drought
Have no fear, without a doubt,
I just don't like where my head is at,
And what all those dark thoughts are about ...
So in the interim you will see,
I am organizing all 1000+ of my poetry.
Take a peek inside each book,
I know you will find some things to look.
For all you poets who perceive me as popular, I kid you not,
A lot of those early writes weren't received so hot --
But there were a few of you, who've been there,
Since day one, and you are the reason, I stayed to have fun ...

Yeah, what Papaya said. See you back soon friend.

When the winds are blowing against you,
and the hill’s too steep to climb.
If the water’s getting deeper,
and you find time after time.
That the dice ain’t rolling your way,
and you feel you’ve done your best.
Remember – waves that drag you down,
will soon rise to a crest.

How beautiful and thoughtful. I will be around, just not posting new until I finish my organizing and get out of this funk.

[Lorry]

We'll be here waiting.

[Ana Papaya]

And the appreciation is returned to you from new writers like me.
you're very good at welcoming and encouraging newbies. I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed when I joined and then discouraged at times. So thank you.

[Lyn Anderson]

That's wonderful, I am glad to have helped in my own small way -- your natural talent is only outshone by your genuine heart.

[Jon Roggie]

Take your time my friend.

[Lyn Anderson]

Not a problem. Thanks. Not leaving, just not posting new. Hopefully it will prompt people to look at my stuff they have never seen.

[Baby Ricochet]

I'm not going. Well, not yet anyway. Being popular on this site's a mixed blessing. It's like you keep trying to hit the top five & you know you can't do that with everything you write.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. I appreciate it. I am having fun going through my old stuff -- you know, the stuff with 18 views and such ... I just needed a breather from my ache.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your acknowledgement, KL...and for your delightfully different poetry...even in your darkest pieces you exhibit a wry sense of humor...

It was, is an honor and joy to have talented poets like yourself on this site who go above and beyond to make true friendships and give selfless inspirations. You are appreciated even if we don't visit all the time as you may know. Thank you for all the sharing...:)............

[Lyn Anderson]

No problem. You are one of the few who has visited from the very beginning. I am enjoying going through my old stuff and completing the task of organizing it properly. Right now, everything I write has a bitter edge, so I am scaling back the new postings and sorting out the old.
