I find myself trying to rhyme all the time, see?… My mind seems to want to stay in rhyming mode, I don’t know why. I used to blog a few years ago, I used to share my everyday life, anything and everything that I thought would be of interest, until I suddenly realised my whole life was there, written on those pages for all to see…My pain, my laughter, my mistakes and my triumphs…I went too far with the sharing..It was not good, looking back, I know it could have been classed as therapy, maybe, and perhaps cheap at the price, but it had to stop. Things were getting out of hand and so Lady Penelope was born on WLS and now here .… I feel free to try different subjects, a different way of connecting with people…Whereas before it was a case of this is my life, warts and all, it’s now… these are my poems, my stories, read them if you will, they are a part of me, my way of looking at the world, sad sometimes, happy others, for we are a mixture of the two are we not?.
WE are a combination of our Past, Present and soon to be future…so, I hope you enjoy what’s on offer…as much as I enjoy preparing them for your delectation!
I love your writings Lady P! Your writing makes me smile and think and that is very good.
ReplyDeleteLady P. I'm really enjoying your blog. I know exactly what you mean about too much self revelation as I have done it myself. I recently deleted an entire blog because of it and now try to write a little more symbolically (if you will) - see my other blogs if you're ever interested. Anyway, keep up the fine work.
ReplyDeleteHi Lady Pen. I was doing a lot of the same thing on WLS. I got to the point that I was trying to do things just to make it sound like I lived an interesting and exciting life. Now I really don't feel like sharing so much of my life except for the wildlife sitings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following me and for leaving your comments. Hope you return. Cindy
I very much enjoy what you have to offer and I'm glad that you're sharing it with us. I totally agree about the combination of past, present and future that is part of everyone's make-up: Living in the present, learning and influenced by the past, and looking to the future!

ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, Penelope.
My new blog is trying to become something. I don't even know what it is yet. I started it by writing poems with rhyme anonymously. I stopped that. I'm still looking for a balance. Nice to read this.
Glad I found you. I'll keep reading.
Yes, you nailed it. That could have been written by all of us who have ever blogged for any amount of time. Back on Spaces, with 3 different blogs, I, too, found myself (out of the clear blue)writing self-therapy..just to share it and get it out of myself. Not good. Never got a bad reply but that's because everyone was so nice anyway. Still, not good. I love what you've decided to do, Penelope, and it's a real breath of fresh air and true interest.
