As I feared

this blog is turning into the online version of the imaginary friend you had as a child - the person you talk to all the time in your head. The trouble is, it's too ridiculously easy to blog. If you're at your computer working, and a thought comes up that you find worthwhile, or funny, it takes 10 seconds or less to click to your blog page and type it in as you think it.

I've said - and believe - that my poems are my best thinking. What does that make my blog entries?

construal of warm mittens and pear streusels?

what is Shailja’s blog

her briskly baked entries receive
blue ribbon and global reprieve

two toes up when reading—
dual states of Shailja’s mind

one when she pens poetry prose,
and other when she unwinds

pungent roasted Kenyan bean scent
lingering by sharp nose

social commentary at times she vents
word barbs of a delightful rose

Coffeecake compensation
morsels of sweet blog

by writing I reimburse her
for opening up this log

a Shailja aficionado,
or Boar she calls chutzpah

aka Byron ROUR!kacha ah?
