Old friends and new... Options

[Keith Logan]

In bonnie Scotland throughout many years
I've laughed aloud and even shed some tears.
A witness to a history unfurled,
where once mine was an electronic world
but now alas, for time is all my own;
methinks it meet to strike a carefree tone.

I've not composed a poem for a while,
although the effort brought a ready smile.
In truth a simple rhymer's not complete
if he's not dancing on iambic feet.
Were those days really all that far away?
Am I now able once again to play?

It's good to see some names I knew before,
although mayhap from fabled days of yore.
I'm older but no wiser I confess,
a problem that this board may well address
but I shall neither sigh or strain and mope
if deemed to be a case devoid of hope.

Keith Logan, the happy chappy

Wow, how time flies. I've been moving house, so it's been highly stressful with my sick husband in tow. Two months to pack up, give away, disgard, finding old photos of the children, letters, so much stuff that I'd even forgotten I'd kept. It's so difficult to part with emotionally moving things, mostly small.

I love your poem, Keith! I've also viewed others in Hermes, but I just slip in for a peek now and then. Hope we get MM moving again soon!

Daniel, how are you now? You've been thru' a lot of trouble with your hip and knee. Let's hope all the parts have been repaired...

I wish you all the best for the festivities.
