Absent words

Dear Blogspot
I've been quiet, I know
Missed chances to see you
Because words wouldn't flow
And opportunity didn't call
Neither space nor time
Doesn't it always feel so wrong
When there's no three in rhyme

Dearest, dearest blog page
I'm sorry, I swear
I think about you always
No matter when or where
You're my comfort, inspiration
Where ideas and thoughts run free
No hindrance or hesitation
I can simply be just me

So please, my friendly pages
Neither worry, fret or pace
Everything's as it should be
Let your smile remain in place
For you are here for me
As much as I am here for you
I hope that you feel better now
...............................I do

Perdido mi palabras

Online rhyming dictionary
Provides no form of aid
Save a serving of the usual
The norm, the plain, the staid
Thesaurus too I'm sad to say
Gives little to inspire
No spark, or bolt of lightning
It's cold without the fire

If the temperature drops
Hibernate
Take stock, relax
And wait, wait

Dawn chorus
Sing your song
It's the time and place
Gather your throng
Forgive me
If I don't hum along
My dulcet tones
Just don't belong
I seem to have reached
An impasse
Perdido mi palabras
Perdido mi palabras

The usual jovial banter
Provides no form of smile
It's all the same discussions
That happen all the while
As for offering a word or two
I'll advise myself simply, no
When there's no hills you want to climb
It's just one long plateau

But it soon becomes
A slippery slope
How do you stop the slide
Without a rope

Usual chorus
Sing your song
It's the time and place
Gather your throng
Forgive me
If I don't hum along
My dulcet tones
Just don't belong
I seem to have reached
An impasse
Perdido mi palabras
Perdido mi palabras
