I sit in front of the monitor but I'm looking out the window intense sunshine birds flitting here flitting there forging for food the world outside my window goes on without my contribution I'm a solitary person I've always been somewhat of a loner but these last two decades+plus (my writing decades) I'm even more so a solitary guy my world consists of words punctuation and grammar stories, poems words there's no room for much of anything else I broke out of that solitary confinement this past twelvemonths now she's gone that's not a good thing I feel my keyboard is becoming my headstone ©October 19, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Other than poetry ancestry is quite interesting. I belong to ancestry.com and can be quite addictive and fun. Enjoyed reading as usual Jerry. ~Victoria~

I keep busy, Victoria, and I keep busy doing what I like to do. My line about the keyboard being my headstone was just another way of saying I will be writing poetry and novels until I die. Thank you again for checking my poetry out. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Sometimes words can be more comforting than people and, yes, we must do what we like doing even if we do it alone. However, we do as humans need human company and then balance is the keyword. |

Hello Helen, long time no see, good to see you back. Yes, there needs to be a balance between what really turns us on and human company. It is that balance that can prove difficult to provide, for some need more balance than do others. Again, it is good to see you. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

My keyboard is probably the best friend I have, Jerry, because it listens to, accepts, reminds, reflects and, God help me, it knows my soul even better than I do. If I have to be alone, in any way, give me a live keyboard, and leave me in peace... j. |

I hear you, and agree with your assessment of the keyboard one hundred percent, J. Appreciate you being here this morning. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
