Due to personal and health issues, I failed to update the published poems for the years 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. My apologies to my readers for this inconsistency. At present, I am trying to decide what to do. First option: go back and add four years worth of published poems. Second option: delete all of the published poems and keep this blog simple. Readers can always go back in the archives should they be interested. I don’t think many people are. Poetry blogging has changed so much since my first entry here in the summer of 2014. It used to be quite simple to do back then. Twelve years later, Word Press has become far more complicated for a person of my age and increasing lack of knowledge about blogging. Ah, what to do? What to do? In any event, I am always so grateful to any readers who venture onto this site. Thank you for taking the time to do so. ~ MARY
