Meh!!
They messed around within WordPress,
Missing my Daily Prompt.
Others just got on with it
But I’m left out of joint.
’Meh’ is kind of the word for it
It’s kind of how I feel.
Not quite feeling up to it
Not quite up to the mark.
I needed something to shake me up
Maybe this is it?
Big thank you to Dee Kelly, Kristian and Cyranny’s Cove for trying to plug that Daily Prompt hole. Check out what they are doing.

What stubborn nature left you there
Stark, standing separate from the shore?
White, defiant of time and tide,
Three lonely stacks against the shore?
And did you witness dinosaurs
Who roamed the white Jurassic rocks?
Did pirates hide within your lee
Or Vikings flounder In their boats?
Are you miscreant turned to stone
The action of time and tide on rock
Named for Old Harry the Devil himself?
I only know I love to stare
And see you standing off this shore
Bright jewels of Purbeck’s perfect coast.
For some the pursuit of pleasure
Is the purpose of their life.
Others must have meaning
Their hopes to realise.
Pleasures can be fleeting
Pleasures do not last.
Pleasures can not satisfy
They disappear too fast.
Set your cap for happiness
And sometimes you will fail.
Search instead for meaning;
For that’s a wiser trail.
Some days are punctuation;
A comma, full stop, paragraph
Or even a chapter’s end.
You have to pause
And take a breath.
Gather strength
And then move on.
