April Pad challenge

Happiness is a mask
Applied as per needed.
Placed upon the broken soul
Per the desire to find
Internal calmness
Not found so
Easily that it must
Seem to be a
Sensation worthy of having.

Ars Poetica Day two

Though lifting the pen
To bleed on the page
Seems like a gift,
A talent given,
I would argue that
There are days
When writing poetry
Feels like madness leaking
Outward from my head.

Rhythm and rhyme
Pulsing in time
To how broken
My heart is.

April Pad challenge

I posted the poem for Ars Poetica earlier today. This is the answer to the prompt for the day: Optimism.

Looking forward
Is just so hard,
Optimism is not
Something that
comes easily.

Choosing to think
In the positive
Means using a
Light towards
the possibilities
That shine out the darkness.

I don’t know if during April I will be doing the regular day blogs… I will have to see. There should be at least two posts daily for April like this one.

Technical difficulties

Okay I posted to the new site and it is not showing the blog there. Technical support is a wonderful friend but he is a very busy person right now. So I am hoping to get it fixed soon.

And no, before any one gets it in their head… this is not an April fools thing. I don’t do that because I don’t handle jokes well.

Ars Poetica Poem one

The urge to pull the pen
to bleed upon the page
is something that seems
to be unwilling to fade…

I thought poetry would be
a passing phase,
something that I would grow
out of as I would age.

Instead, I have found myself
drawn deeper in,
bleeding more verse
than I wanted to in the end.

So Somethings I have noticed.

I have already started setting this week up. Splitting it between this blog and Pattimouse.org The site is live…though the blog portion will not post until tomorrow for the first time.

I have more category options here…but less media. The Set up is easy enough to deal with. I plan to do much more posting but splitting it between them.

Though I am still not sure if this going to work in the long run. It is a experiment at the moment.

Blog changes and The way I plan to do that.

So, I decided I wanted to do my blog differently because the picture limits were annoying me. However…I don’t like the expense for the paid blog here. So I paid for www.pattimouse.org Which I am waiting for the site to be situated that I designed…(And then it will probably take a bit of time to adjust to the new blog) I plan on still linking to it, HERE…and doing the random text blogging here…but I will be doing the picture heavy stuff there. So I will be doing some adjustments to how I post. Once I get it set up right…which as I said will take time. This should make my posts more interesting I hope.
