Poetry, etc...

Recently updated both www.paulapoems.blogspot.com & http://paulapuddephatt.tripod.com/poetry - new poems added - yay! :-)


Shared a Debbie Gibson video on here.  Loads more on: www.pauladebblog.blogspot.com, though.  Including that one, but just thought I'd put it on this blog, too - why not???


Struggling with a virus, as well as depression and IBS - but hey, I'll have better times, right???

On a different subject...

Just feeling that I need to distract myself about my feathered baby...Anyway, I changed the template for my Tripod poetry site again.  I have had to adjust some features of the standard layout to match the new template, but I like it.  But I'm not sure if people will find the location of the menu on the new design confusing.  I think that it works well, at least in comparison to many of the other templates, which all have definite pros and cons.  See: http://paulapuddephatt.tripod.com/poetry.  I have also been updating: www.paulapoems.blogspot.com. 

Love and blessings to you all! xxx

Geoff Stevens

Along with many of my fellow poets, today my thoughts are with poet and editor Geoff Stevens, who passed away today in the early hours.  My thoughts are particularly with Geraldine and family, and close friends.

Been tweaking old poems

I did an edit of "Fear", but still wasn't happy with it.  I had put the new version on to my poetry blog, but took it down again.  I altered it yet again and that version is now on my Tripod poetry site.  It is a villanelle, and was one of the very first poems I ever wrote using this form.  Sonnets are easy, comparatively...

Coffee is kind of cold now...

Spent most of the day in bed...

I felt depressed, and my tummy was bad.  So that's that.  But never mind.  It's happened before and will again.

I wanted to put my poems in a different order again on my Tripod site.  It tends, otherwise, to end up in reverse chronological order, but that doesn't necessarily work for me, or the readers.  (Don't say, "What readers?"  I do get some!)  I also wanted to try to change the font on each poem within the software, to make them all look the same - could be something of a challenge, as well as time-consuming, and mind-numbingly boring.  Oh, well...Anyway, I can't log on at present.  I must admit that I suspect that this might happen.  The Tripod page on Facebook mentioned something about people having problems logging in.  I might as well "plug" the site while I'm here, I guess: http://paulapuddephatt.tripod.com/poetry. 

I think that's all for now.  I don't know whether to update my "Quagan Poet" site.  I am so mixed-up about my spiritual beliefs right now.  So nothing new there, right???  But not sure if I feel like "talking" about it - which, in my lingo, means blogging about it...

Love to you all!  Yeah, because I just know that so many people actually read my blogs!!! xxx
