And then there is Facebookology

When I first started writing for A Poem A Day In February I was all alone then. I would write one rhyme a day. That was my purpose when I was trying to rhyme more. I was interested in writing rap songs. I wanted rhyming to be second nature then.

Since that time, I am interested in other types of poetry. Each February now I am not the only one writing. I have contests and prizes and I have several people joining me. Some are very good and others are beginners.

I consider myself a beginner, even though I have been writing for several years now. I’m not sure when I will graduate from that status. I now know two women that have master’s degrees in poetry. I might ask them.

I write, right from the top of my head, and that seems to work the best. I have gone back and made some changes to some of my original rhymes. I just posted this story on Medium, as I just posted a story from Vocal on Medium.

I thought I would share an early rhyme that I like from February 27, 2017

No apology

The time I spend on a poem a day

Should be for pay

Could be looked at as facebookology

It’s in my biology

🌸

Maybe even in my astrology

This poem will be in my anthology

It may not be in the correct chronology

Still no apology

Remember facebookology.

Technology.

I thought why play pool

When you can play Ms. Pacman, it’s cool

Farmville is so much easier than using a tool

I’m not a fool

🌸

Technology got me through graduate school.

There is solitaire and scrabble

Am I beginning to ramble

Words with friends is not easy

Sometimes it would make me queasy

🌸

Now candy crush

Can be a rush

Or a bore

But I’m not sore

🌸

Just like a poem a day in February

Not January

No apology
