Bad Blogger

To those of you that have been so wonderful in reading my little blog site, I would like to apologize for the inactivity here over the past couple of weeks. Issues with work, raising children, putting our house on the market, warm spring weather and a tiny bit of burnout have combined to create an unfortunate inability to write anything I would care to have you consume.
Things are starting to calm a little and hopefully will return to what I call normal soon. I hope to post something worthy of your time at least once a week for the next few months. In that spirit and as a celebration of the glorious spring weather, I would like to share one that I wrote some time back that is still one of my favorites. Please enjoy The Forgotten Partner
Thanks D

The Forgotten Partner

I thrust my body forward
My offering makes is flight
My quarry takes the challenge
I bend to make a fight

His massive weight is crippling
It feels my back will break
My endurance at its limit
But everything’s at stake 

The battle finally over
Now I‘m standing tall
But my valor is soon forgotten
As I am propped against the wall 

For him, he takes the glory
To me, he gives no thought
As he tells them all the story
About the fish he caught!
