DEAD
But not buried. It will come to life again, resurrected by some young techie who can perform miracles even with his eyes closed. In the meantime I am forced to use pen and paper, to scratch and scribble, to cross out and throw away. I am forced to concentrate. Concentrate on my thoughts, my vision. Feel the shape of the pen, how it glides across paper, feel the movement of my hand as words leave my mind and are written down. Think of Austin, Dickens, the Bronte sisters, Byron, Shelley…all of those who had only pen and paper and achieved greatness.
winter dawn
the pines whisper words
I cannot hear

Here's wishing you 366 (Leap year!) days of blessings, Adelaide.
Thanks , Bill. I hadn't realized that this is a leap year. What will I do with that extra day?
Adelaide
... your request... accomplished. _m
Would like to use the pen more, but am half digital too :-)Happy New Year dear Adelaide!
Adelaide, I just heard from Magyar that you couldn't post on my blog. My settings haven't changed, so I can't figure out what the problem is. I will keep looking, as I enjoy your visits. Hope you get this!
I can't leave comments on another the Smiling Cricket blog as well and I could a few weeks ago. I may be a Google problem and I've sent queries to the Blogger forum, but have not had a satisfactory answer.
Know that I check your blog every few days and enjoy your poems and photos.

I added a followers section. Try clicking on that to see if it helps. I'll keep trying to fix the problem.
I see that I am a Follower, but it doesn't help. Tried to leave a comment and still can't.
No, you are not blocked. I didn't know how to do that until I looked a few minutes ago. Whatever went wrong seems to have happened at the beginning of December.
