Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

After some thought, I’ve decided to take a self-imposed hiatus. I’m simply finding that I haven’t as much time as I once did. I also find I’ve not been able to concentrate on writing longer pieces. Given the aphrodesiac that blogging can be, I find myself resisting this move but I know I need to do it.

It may be a few days or a few weeks. I honestly don’t know at this point. Hopefully, when I return I will have more than a poem or two to offer.

I will do my best to visit my fellow bloggers and read - something which I’ve also been slacking in - sorry, it wasn’t intentional.

At any rate, hopefully, when I see you all again - I will have a renewed vigor and something worth reading.

Much love,

Sarah

it’s a sad funny
that gets my laughs
that makes me step back
to see how obtuse
is my life
and turns the corners
of my mouth
upward.

yet my spirit
hovers closer to the earth
neither rising nor descending
owning its position
over the fence
that prevents the decision
from making itself

for now
the sad funnies
will have to suffice
until the big bright
world comes back
into view and smacks me
around a little

Hello. I hope you enjoyed your holiday and it was what you wanted it to be.

I have a few new stories I will be working on over the next few days - so I will be a little bit scarce. I promise not to be gone long and hopefully when I return, they’ll be something new for you to read and enjoy.

In the meantime, be well, stay safe and count your blessings - they are all around you.

Much love,

sarah
