A Blogger's Lament

O! That a blog
Were as an untended lawn,
Whose fecund vegetation flourisheth
Though its proprietor languisheth in disinterest.

Woe! That a blog
Is as an untended houseplant,
That withereth hastily whilst
Its author neglecteth it for mere moments.

    Let us rather hope
    That an untended lawn
    Becomes something rather like
    An untended blog?

    ;o/

    Not unlike the wildflowers of springtime, your flourishing return fills me with anticipation.

    my snide and depressive self used to say "optimists can only be disappointed. pessimists can only be pleasantly surprised". why am i reminded of that right now? ;)
