Lots of folk appear to be putting a lot more of their own poetry in their blogs. This is probably a good thing: creativity being more important than happiness according to John_David_Garcia. Whether I agree or not I have yet to decide: however my life has been in the service of creativity, and whatever happiness I have been fortunate enough to stumble upon has only served to distract me from those things which I know I should be doing.
Anyway, a nasty bit of solipsistic spleen disguised as blank verse for those that can be bothered to read it....
An Apology for my Retreat from the World
No. I would be no small tyrant:
And the block would no doubt do
Good business
At my behest.
No. Nothing petty in my ambit
But my life:
And that's the good.
Else I would demand that Reason's Crown
Be forced upon your stupid heads,
Or offered you their loss instead:
I would be no small tyrant.
So thank your fortune otherwise
I am content in this small guise.

my answer here is rhyming,
when i wrote verse it really stank,
so i gave it up.
[Strangled Laughter.]
Well, you seem to have my number.
strangled laughter...
it's more my number than yours, though! i would lovingly like to think that in a parallel universe i could have been a comedian, but i can't tell a joke to save my life, so i am glad of any laughter i might provoke, even if it is a bit strangly...
