A Poetic Moment

When I started this blog back in April, I had a backlog of poems. I remember that I even posted more than one a day. As the time has gone by I have come to a time when I post less often. I have been extremely busy with events in my life. My fear is getting to the point that I post less often and then you quit looking. I don't want that to happen. And it won't.

I have been fully retired for a little over 4 months. During that time I have filled pulpits 8 times (which I really enjoy doing). I am trying to volunteer at the church I attend -- North Star United Methodist Church. Thelma has retired and we are adjusting to our schedule together. I also have a manuscript of 60 poems at a publisher. I also have a little story going on from a "communicating dog" named Phydoux. I haven't posted them here --- yet. I wanted to keep this poetry, but perhaps I'll change my mind.

Thelma and I have also begun a network marketing business on a part time basis. We are excited about being able to help common people have affordable legal services which are normally reserved for the wealthy. It also gives Identity Theft protection -- which is a growing problem in our world. I just read that Kansas City is 35th highest in identity theft in the nation. That's frightening.

So, I'm taking time today to let you know that I may not post every day, but stick with me because my poems come in bunches. Let me illustrate this will be latest poem:


A Poetic Movement
Larry Linville

I write my poems everywhere
Could be here and could be there
No matter if I’m fresh or tired
I have to write when I’m inspired
If not then I will forget
And set around and stew and fret
I always have paper and pen
‘cause it may not come back again
Now that it’s written, I have to rush
please excuse me while I flush
