The nature of who I am,
So sorry to post and scram…
Wife want eating
Three meals completing,
I’l come back here if I can!
–
This blogs my poetry,
Finding mine is the key…
SEARCH: “Caswell”–
Most are revealed,
Written heroically!
–
As to the prompt–almost any–
Subject inspiring–many…
Three or four styles
Bring you smiles,
A Christian blog not like any?

Looking at his Comments Column,
A lot of people “call” him…
Lots of LIKES–
Stands to rights–
They like many posts within!
–
Others receive more Comments,
But his output is immense…
What–a dozen–
And he’s still buzzing,
To do so wouldn’t make sense!
–
Sometimes particular posts,
Of course his own the most…
may receive
A comment brief,
And that more than most!
–
But each has their own
Time limits to be “on”…
Grateful he is
For LIKES that whiz,
Stacking up here to beyond!

On the Railway named “PAN-AM”,
They conjured a curious plan…
An old loco
With it’s first logo,
Put it back in service and it RAN!
–
Mostly for local yard work,
Natives thimk it a perk…
Local history
Working patiently,
With the expected GP-7 or 9 quirks!
–
Spends time in between rail yards–
East Deerfield, Portland, onwards…
Railroader memories
Don’t grow up on trees,
And for a while they won’t break down from rust!

Stranger outcomes happen,
When opportunity’s tapping,
Wanting in
And you begin
Writing ideas you’re trapping!
–
He’s written ’bout Christ and trains–
Weather seems worth one’s pains….
Fashion poems are new
As something to do,
And the challenge takes working brains!
–
I’d say it is channeling energy,
Most of which has left me….
Shapes and sizes
And stylish surmises,
Still need a bard’s entrée.
–
“An eye for the women.” one said,
Focusing on their clothes instead..
“Clothes make the man”
And women, and can
Leave little more to be said!
–
YET–a poet describes,
Details that emanate vibes…
Along a track
That likes feedback,
Both positive and wise!

He’s borrowed a WIFI hot spot,
More bucks than he has, like as not…
grateful to Steve
For the reality reprieve,
He’ll give it his very best shot!
–
-Not having poems prepared,
He’s rather up in the air…
right off the cuff
May not be enough,
But folks seem to like these so aired!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
Unprepared for the day,
Given opportunity to “play”…
My spirit thrives
In cannonball dives,
Can’t let this get away!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
He fell that nervous itch,
An unapproved message twitch…
Anticipation
Of excoriation,
From a condemnation they’ve stitched!
–
‘Though lately it’s been all joy,
Thanking him for his redeploy…
Of their posting–
Graciously hosting
It again, without being coy!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
In form of a poem—of course!

The page, “Bloggers to Avoid.”
A subject with which I’ve toyed…
They aren’t really bad–
Just blogs that had-
Asked me their posts to void!
–
I have, without asking their reason,
Complied with proper completion…
Removed their posts
As a proper host,
Using the device of deletion.
–
Even if you like my page,
Go see the good things they have…
Really fine
Worth your time,
It’s just me they didn’t want engaged!

Where is the fairy world now,
In cities is it absent somehow…
Quiet forest glades
In most cities can’t be made,
Not even a mooing cow!
–
Cities tend toward sound,
Coming from all around…
Sound and light
Throughout any night,
Pretty hard to find fairy ground!
–
Perhaps in garden plots,
Common owners who believe a lot…
Putting fairy houses
In hopes that arouses,
Wee folk to give it a shot.

When the Poet arrives,
signs in and derives…
Pleasure looking at
Likes and comments that,
Accumulated since last time!
–
Honestly, he’s after the folks,
Who like his poetic pokes….
At just me
Or humanity,
People who like what he wrote.
–
Also to gauge interest
In all the rest…
Popular themes
Or not worth beans,
Compared with his own interests!
–
Knowing then what is the “rage”
He’ll amble onto his stage….
Writing a new
Poem for view,
Not bad, for someone my age? 🙂
