First Post - Poem 'Once More'...
Well, I thought I would create this little blog, as other blogs I am involved in don't have enough room for me to be fully me, so I put this out as a space for expression of what's within me... This lttle poem expresses my heart sadly disappointed about the potential of a relationship that did not work out, sorry for the angst.
Once More…
Once more,
I find myself amongst other consumerables above another ‘for sale’ barcode, on a familiar shelf.
This item is unusual, not quite as beautiful on the outside as other similar products.
In fact on first glance, it may not look like something you would want at all,
compared to what is available.
However this sadly neglected version,
has hidden depths, of creative flare, and a commitment to life in its fullness.
So it is sad, that it is never given,
the opportunity to demonstrate its inner excellence,
But sadly,
these depths are not a subject of consumer demand,
the market dictates an outside aesthetic rather than any hidden qualities or creativity.
No, what is wanted is the instant hit, the wow factor, the panash, the get-you-noticed desirable luxury item, which unfortunately this product can never meet.
So will this pretty ordinary yet committed consumerable ever find a home with a suitable consumer?
Or is its destiny to pass its sell-by-date unmet of human demand?

What is it?
Welcome to the land of solitary blogging, Ian.
I have often thought of doing my own blog - easier than trying to update my website...

sorry that the relationship didn't work out... don't get too blue though
