Poetic Apologies

What can I say........?

I guess this is how friendships are lost...........?.
Just one day, I said
No blogging, no blog hopping,
Focus on pressing deadlnes,
Focus on kids returning to school,
Focus on those demands and responsibilities,
That threatened to engulf me.

Thirty days later......
The deadlines have been met,
The kids are settling well in school,
The demands have been answered,
And I feel at peace.


I guess this is how friendships are reborn........?
Today, I said,
I must blog my apology,
I must re-enter the fold,
I must remember why I started blogging,
And why I love reading blogs.

What can I say? 
Apologies for my sudden absence........
*sigh*

  14. I was planning not to forgive you but then you come back with such a lovely, well written apology! *sigh* now I have no choice but to forgive you.

    Welcome back! You've been missed! Though to be honest I understand as you have so many more responsibilities than I do and yet at the moment I seem to blog about twice a month (Shame on me!).

  22. ok, seems everyone has welcomed u back, now is time for YOU to welcome ME on board! I joined ur 'ship' in ur absence and now u are back, u owe me! lol

  23. I am a blogger of a widely read blog and I have to blog at least once a week, even if I fall sick. The day is not specific but there are people out there waiting to read my blog so I 'must' not disappoint them.

    You can have a plan B or C. What? Write 'articles' or poems that can be used as 'fillers', when you are busy?

    As time goes on, you will get the drift. When you become a constant three year blogger, you would have graduated to the rang of senior blogger. Joke!
