This ember is almost out,
Having trouble getting started no doubt…
Blood sugar and foot
Overruled the good,
The challenge for anyone is stout.

A WI-FI “HI”
A WI-FI “HI.”
–
At two places I find Wi-Fi,
A simply adequate supply…
At home and on th’job
Opportunities to hobnob
And to all of you-all to say “Hi.”
–Jonathan Caswell
EARLY MORNINGS
EARLY MORNINGS
–
Sometimes a poet “tables”
Thoughts and ideas unstable…
That is, he’ll write,
Any time of night,
As long as his laptop is able!
–
Newspapers come early morn,
By hurried teens often born…
All kinds of weather
Are put together
But hopefully not torn!
–
Battery life improves
Poets finding grooves…
In which to run
‘Til an idea’s done,
Or the Spirit content disapproves.
–Jonathan Caswell

A CONTINUING REMINDER:
A REMINDER:
The Poet, Jonathan Caswell, contributes and administrates TWO (count them, 2) Word Press blogs:
BY THE MIGHTY MUMFORD, at:
https://bythemightymumford.wordpress.com/
and
THE MARVELOUS MUMFORD, at:
https://thenewcaz.wordpress.com/.
Currently THE MARVELOUS MUMFORD is a staging area–and overflow–for material I may turn into one or more chapbooks, someday. It also has a small group of blog followers unto itself.
One practice carried over from my days helping build up readership of OUR POETRY CORNER, is to seek out interesting blogs and poets and re-blog them. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of you through this very practice!
Another blog I’ve contributed to since coming on Word Press, but don’t administrate is OUR POETRY CORNER, at:
https://ourpoetrycorner.wordpress.com/.
Since opening up my own blogs I contribute to this one less often. At one time–the first one-to-two years–all my output went into OUR POETRY CORNER, which amounted to a lot of posts! Ron DuBour, my poetry buddy from those days, is doing well and OUR POETRY CORNER has gained an international cast of poets. I will on occasion contribute a limerick or two there and repost material from there I find particularly interesting.
HAPPY READING!!!!!

NEW FIGURE OF FOLKS FOLLOWING THIS BLOG
FIVE HUNDRED AND ONE BLOGGERS FOLLOWING!!!
ANOTHER VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD!!!
I guess I should get my Awards Page completed….but being “discovered” by a new generation–so to speak–of readers is fun! I want to thank “belsbror” for nominating me for this…(See true versatility in action at http://belsbror.wordpress.com/ )..!
RULES OF THE AWARD:
1. Display the above insignia…or a suitable alternate.
2. Thank the person who nominated you (checked).
3. Include a link to their blog (also done).
4. Tell 7 things about yourself–see below!
5. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award…see also below!
SEVEN THINGS ABOUT “MOI”:
–I’ve finished only two model train layouts (so far) in my life…out of six or more attempts.
–One of my work partners would, given my educational level, see me do something more “serious” with my writing talent…like a novel or research papers???
–I dislike liver. In my mouth it reminds me of some chewing gum I had in my mouth so long that it disintegrated…no matter what recipe you try on me!
–I am a “messy”.
–I’m not comfortable in most situations where a lot of people are present…small talk among strangers or friends who want small talk…might not get ANY!!
–I’m easily irritated when singing a hymn with others who don’t really know the words–and seem not to care.
–Despite a lot of progress…especially with my wife helping me (and you bloggers) I still struggle with depression.

POET TAKES WEEK OFF! !!!
EXTRA, EXTRA…READ ALL ABOUT IT
It has been two (2) years since my wife has seen her family in the Adirondacks, in Upstate New York…last year we had to cancel last-minute due to emergency coverage needed at work!
Therefore, after tomorrow’s posting (I’ll think of something)…I’ll BE “OFF DUTY” at BY THE MIGHTY MUMFORD, until Dec. 30th or so…expect me to blog something on New Year’s Eve (I’ll be a-workin’ then!). 🙂
