I haven't been awfully consistent in blogging... and now for the last hour I have been aimlessly "spacing out" in front of the pc. so, what do I have to show for all that spacing out... nothing.
So, I wonder. Should I blog about nothing?
Well, here is what I have ended up with.... (if anyone cares to read)... a poem to describe the moment and many such moments that have transpired in the past...
==============================================
CHORDLESS ROAR
I play the grumble of the old rocking chair
Leaning and pushing,
leaning and pushing.
Jumbled up pieces of the jigsaw puzzle
Strewn on the marble with its sharp cold body.
Old treasures that I bought through thrift
Leather-bound now,
decorate the shelves
Accompanying the acquisitions of later decades
To enjoy the caress of weekly dusting.
The cursor on the monitor blinking rhythmic,
Anticipates a tale to be strung across the screen
That has remained wordless for the past hour.
I view the chordless roar beyond the window,
See the carefully-cultured trees,
handsome through acceptance,
Competing with the power of concrete structures.
===========================================
Go ahead... hurl those "raw egg" criticisms... :-)

well, these aren't raw eggs, but i don't know what to call them...i think u have nicely portrayed ur thought,s what i feel is needed is a li'l rhyme and reason, that;s all, also I would observe that the best way to get ppl's attention is to give it to them, that's why hunter, SW and jade are top rankers here and they get comments ,while others don't get comments. SO try out many blogs and write what u think, ppl will come to u too. -

Someone else wrote about not being sure of what to write and it became a very successful blog with lots of comments. Have a raw egg. They're good on white rice. -

thanks hotaka for the raw egg... just one problem with eating it though... I'm a vegetarian. :-) And meggs... I'm glad you could relate with the visuals in the poem. thanks. -

How about a chocolate egg then? It doesn't have to be milk chocolate if there's a problem with that. -
