Birds Silent
Crickets pause
– just stillness
A distant rumble
drip, drip, drip,
Leaves dance – puddles form
Refreshing, soaking
Splash, splash, splash,
Fading light – gloomy
Dark clouds melt
Soft breeze stirs
– sounds return

I feel with that second stanza I am hearing a car running through a puddle on a deserted backroad right after the rain.

No way. I haven’t written much this year. Whoever said time is unlimited when you retire speaks with forked lost my password and could get back in. I tried and tried and after 3 years I found a way in. for 2 years I posted by published works which are still popular which is why I re-post those, especially since my publisher died during Covid. I lost heart, I guess, bit without re-posting, readers can’t comment after a few years on WordPress. Life will change again, I no doubt and I may be able to write more.

Yeah, I’m a noob. I’ve only been doing this now for about 127 days.
But I’m hell-bent on making my blog as big as possible. I’m writing more than I’ve ever written in my entire life. My brain hurts lol

So sorry about your publisher and that you couldn’t get into the system. It’s the worst when you can’t get in you have a password locking you out.

I once created blogs, worked as an administrator for an American online newspaper and live and breathe it. After a few years break, technology got way ahead of me.

That’s that’s a bummer. I know I’m having an issue too. I need to really work on my website. I’m just using the basics right now because I’m more interested in content than I am a great functioning website some point I got to take the technical siding drop the creative side for a while and go fix it.
I’d rather keep writing I want material books I want material blogs and reblogging.

Be careful on your Media content. If you get to close to100% full, you’ll be force to delete old photos to continue or, force to buy more storage, or set up a new blog. I reuse photos from earlier posts and keep storage below 70%.

Yeah, I think I’m somewhere at 50%. Maybe a little under but thank you. I’ll keep an eye on it. Good advice.

A chat room on WordPress would be sooo good. Been asking for years.

Please let me know if it ever happens. I would love to be in it.
I’m really good at documentation and writing how tos could ever get involved and learn how this truly works. I could come up with something for everybody and I would.
I am going to share a hack with you. It’s this website 168 different poetic forms, it really helps me when I get stuck, I just try new forms…

🦋 I thought it would be the closest we would get to a storm/rain as we will get. There’s still no rain. Just our worse drought on record.

If you included the word rain and one more verse this poem it would be perfect to post on the d’Verse Poetry Pub Quadrille Monday… (44 words)

I didn’t know there was such a thing as ‘d’Verse Poetry Pub Quadrille Monday’ or where to find it or any other place to share my drivel – Also, I don’t think I’m ready to get back into doing much with my poems and stories – except enjoy it and posting on my blog where I can’t get to embarassed with my imperfections. – (long story) Thanks for your encouragement. I do appreciate it.

That is perfectly ok. It does take a lot of energy to write and post and read other’s work as well. Just thought I would mention it. I was totally new at all of these kinds of poetry when I first started posting with them. They are a great encouraging group!
