I navigate the blogosphere and am amazed at all the ways bloggers interact in this
loveliest of places, where I’m starting to feel more and more at ease.
Sometimes I jump in and try my hand: I feel like a kid in a candy store and want to nip
a bite out of every prompt.
Others offer support, comment, and move on.
And sometimes, something in the eccentricity of a message or the comforting opulence of the shadow of the words squeezes my heart, and I feel like crafting a reply.
The following is one such instance: A post from my friend Stephen W. Buchanan at
the muttado website, where, if you haven’t got a sonnet, a ha’sonnet will do just fine.
Have you ever visited? If you haven’t, please go take a peek, dear friends. So cool.
Here’s the one that made me react this time and what I read— the projected image,
went something like this: Give Me My Quiet and Rhyming Tools. Thinking that made
me smile. No offense meant. I’m sure Stephen must have so much more than rhyming
going on in his life. I bless you, my friend. xo

arcing through air
the hammerhead
hit the screw square
Let other tools
follow the rules
My one job’s done
And so, I wrote… This one’s my ha’sonnet:
The Ha’sonnet That Done It: Give Me My Quiet and Rhyming Tools You arced through air Skipped o’er oceans Without a care Wrote me poems My heart’s at stake And it could break Rhyme me sublime *** © 2022 selmamartin.com

Thanks for reading. Enjoy your weekend everyone. If you hear that the leader of
N. Korea was testing out more missiles and it landed in Tokyo, be worried for
me: my dear ones and I are in the capital this weekend for my son’s wedding.
Thus, I continue to ask you to send me good vibes. Thanks in advance.
