We'll Always Be Friends
I just peeked in to Poetry Thursday..to start to think about what to write this week, and found they have gone on summer hiatus. Seems many of my favorite blogs are slowing down a bit..from fatigue, or angst, or desperation.
And while I totally understand, and even commiserate, I can't help but think that this could be the beginning of the end. Like when you leave the boy you love, believing you will always keep a piece of him with you. That you will always be friends.
And then your not anymore.. It all becomes people you used to know and love and care about.
I hope this does not happen to PT. I hope Dana and Liz just put there feet up and drink some lemonade....and come back soon y'all!
In a striking coincidence, I joined a Poetry Workshop this summer. Maybe I could feel the rumblings...This is a bold move for me..as it entails REAL people..looking at me..and the very terror producing possibility of having to read my poems to REAL people. I much prefer the shadows. Shadows become me. Darkness, even better!!

I hope we all last through the summer. Hey, practically ALL MY FRIENDS are here. My only other friend lives in North Carolina, and I escort an old lady friend to lunch and a movie every Saturday. Other that that, it's just you guys.
*Whine, whine, whine* I know you all better than I know anybody in my neighborhood, I love you guys!
*WHINE*
Why is it that summer makes folks so ... I don't know. Prone to drifting in the sunshine and not blogging? It has that effect on me too!
Blogging is a marathon, but some people try to do it like it is a sprint.
i've been one of those on hiatis so i didn't even know until reading your post that pt was taking a break for the summer. i'm trying to make it back into blogging...slowly...
I hope the lovely ladies at PT come back at full strength. Meanwhile, we'll have to keep the spirit alive all summer long.
