my friends
and followers
i am so racked by guilt
not one
but two days
with nothing creative
to report
but you see
i have excuses
though you may
think them poor
i feel that they’re
somewhat enough
for life gets in the way
at least on friday
i did post
an image of my
revelry
and other happenings
going on
surround my days
for now

for you see i have been
editing
a larger piece
it’s true
for a big ol’ writing
competition
so i can’t show it
to you

and the other spanner
in the works
that’s eating up
my time
my father’s moving
overseas
to a rather
tropical
clime

so i have written
and now submitted
and i am to
farewell
today

but i promise that
this evening
my penance
will be paid.
