“The time has come…” to share the distraction
phrases tumble madly along flights of thought
the starting of two novels has been presented
three remain half written waiting to be caught
Writing these words while the mist begins to clear
long time spent staring at the next empty line
a clear understanding of the game being played
reveals manufactured distractions to create the decline
Sorry for interrupting the poem. However, the necessity to explain, something others have demanded. Being the minimalist, I rather enjoyed the one hundred-forty character limitation. With all that is going on today, getting the news becomes paramount, but, another however. I hate abbreviations like “i c u 2” and the like
Pretending, believing, there IS still plenty of time
convincing myself, “poetry is not a crime”
Many distractions of which Twitter® is one
has proved to be both entertaining and fun
But if you see @apoetsailor, do say something, I hope
tweet me saying “…back to your writing you dope.”
I’ll get the hint, and the nudge I surly need
who knows, things happen, you have planted the seed.

Yup, it's me! The author of all you read here (except for the comments of course).
Having been asked to write a short article for "About Yourself", I was forced to labor (for a moment-or-two), upon what eloquent words I might use to explain myself. ................................................................................................................
This simple thought process yielded an even simpler solution. You need but read the words I have published here. All the writings (except for the Comments), are copyrighted ©, the moment the "post" is digitized and made available to the world (WWW) by the servers at namecheap, the best Hosting service you'll ever need. http://www.namecheap.com?aff=15525
Please read: "Proprietary Rights". .............................................................................................................
Now, to continue with "About Me".
I am sure you will find a few of my views embedded within my poems, and, if I would quit procrastinating, within the chapters of my future novels. ..............................................................................................................
I would ask you all to subscribe to "RANDOM THOUGHTS"
