In which we kick off Blank Verse Blog Week 2

This morning's entries from rjpb
Reminded me that this is the eighteenth
Of April -- Blank Verse Blog Week starts today!
(See cnoocy or jadelennox for details.)

Last year I put heroic energy
Into the observation of this week.
I wonder if this year I'll show the same
Initiative, and energy, and all.
There are some entries I've been wanting to
Compose, on thoughtful topics, and I might
Not see my way to shaping them in verse.
Of course, I could just hold them off a week.
The rate I'm going, that would still be soon!
And on the other hand, as msmidge said
Last year, I get so pensive writing verse --
And thus produced some ponder-worthy posts,
At least for me, if not my audience.

Whatever, then. I'll do what I can do.
But for today, it's time to drink my coffee,
Then take a walk, absorb some April sun.
The laundry ought to wait until tomorrow,
Since strike for Thespis will take place tonight,
And that will but create more dirty clothes...
And I've tomorrow off, a holiday!
