To my friends at AuthorsDen...

Suffice to say I know you are all out there, as my inbox for email is overflowing with your works, but time is tight of late...working takes precedence...sorry!

To my friends at AuthorsDen…


 


Seems a lot of late,


I have had to fish or cut bait,


Working my fingers to the bone,


Not able to stay long,


At my “no place like home”…


 


Busy though I may have been,


Each day I get time to be seen,


Trying to keep writing still,


Wishing I had the time to drink from the still…


 


If I have been too busy to leave a comment,


I apologize and really do to you repent,


I doubt with my new route I will be able to change,


But just realize and understand,


That as soon as I am able, I will read all of you,


Including those that are downright strange,


Yes Kostro, that means you…

i know how you feel...sometimes i'll read an author, and i will review them, and then i slack off; and i am sure they are wondering if i have dropped off the planet, but i haven't really...it's because i am too danged busy writing myself! LOL i have so many favorites here i can't possibly review them all!! but i do have my favorites in which i regularly review (and yes, you are one of them!)! so if i don't review, please do forgive me.

very well put, eddo!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your tx. friend, karen lynn. :D

i always feel bad because i start out leaving some kind of comment on each poem that i read and then as the day goes on and the list gets longer, i slack. i always read, i just don't comment on every poem the way i do earlier in the day. i'm just glad you are here, ed

I can totally relate to this, Ed as I too work long hours. I am up at 4am to go to work and sometimes don't get out until 6 or 7pm. With that kind of schedule, my chores around the house to attend to and trying to spend a little time with friends, I find it difficult to even have the time to write, much less read all the wonderful poems that are placed here. I don't write often, but when I do, if I don't see a comment from you I will understand completely.
Take care,
Sherry

I had no idea that my goofy and very strange brother had joined AD. Thanks for the warning, my friend - now get back to work!!

Beautiful Ed! We do understand. Time can be pretty tight at times.

God bless,
