An Ode…

~ JodiLea

~~~***~~~

Oh melancholy!
What bitter time we shared,
During those years of longing and dread,
You knew me well.

Oh misery!
We were best friends,
with fear and disappointment,
crumpled hopes, dark dreams,
Intertwined like one.

Oh agony!
My heart flayed open
by Cupid’s cruel arrows.
Time intervenes, and I have
survived,
The time of sorrow.

[Author’s Note: I never wrote a poem for a post before, so this is the “something completely different”.  When I was a teen I constantly wrote poems. Reading them as an adult, I found them dark and depressing. This poem is my ode to teenage angst.]

It’s In The Mail

~ JodiLea

Posting by email feels something like publishing an article that your editor has not previewed. My email program does spell check, and I double-check things before I hit the “Send” button with any email.

But this is different.

Maybe I don’t believe it will look how I want it to. Can I really trust using shortcodes or a secret address? I bet this is just the most boring post ever written, but in the spirit of the challenge, so what? I’m learning to post via email, so I can blog while on the road. Not while I am driving, however.

The only thing worse than a boring post, is a long boring post, so I’m signing off!
