There was a young lady called June
Who wished to make a fortune.
She opened a money-making blog,
But found it a hard slog,
So deleted it that afternoon!

Balloon
Its late.
The expensive balloon
Will soon
Deflate
Leaving
The boy grieving.
The girl will shrug her shoulder
And think “thank god that’s over”.
I Think Of Ozymandias
Walking through these fallen leaves, I think of Ozymandias.
All things pass.
The rotten
Is soon forgotten
And all
Idols fall.
Fallen Fruit
Low-hanging fruit I recall.
I longed to taste,
For some say it is the route
To pleasure. yet
in my haste
To enjoy
I did forget
That the worm does destroy,
And the boy
Should not tempt the fruit to fall.
Money
Its funny
How money
Creates a hole
In one’s soul
Introspection
Introspection
May lead to dejection,
But it is better to think
Than lose oneself in drink.
why?
I have found many things:
Rings,
A hairband,
(Even a shoe of the high-heeled kind
I did find).
Yet still I do not understand
And often ask myself why?
For I
Am no magpie.
The Introspective Rake
So many
Have I known.
Penny after penny
Spent
In the lone
Play
Of cloying scent.
Toying with love of a kind,
I find
Myself destroying
What little I had
In a sad
Fake dance
Of romance.
Some names I remember
(Their May to my December).
But can winter cold
Hold
The summer sun?
May will, for a while
Smile
Through fixed teeth,
Then, ere winter’s fun
Is done
Resile
Ushering in his brief
Grief.
May is gone
And December flirts with June,
But she is soon
Away
To play
With another one,
Though Cupid’s bow
Is never shot.
July
Is a hotbed of sweet sigh
And lie.
Why
Stop there
For August fair
Beckons?
Seconds
Turn to years
And Winter nears
His end.
Why pretend
It was not a life misspent
In scent,
Repent,
And scent.
Why do bloggers take their blogs down?
A good question and some interesting responses following on from the post. Nothing is, of course ever truly deleted. For example if one removes a blog/website, its possible that it may have been archived by archive.org (or similar archiving services). Try going to archive.org and typing in the url of an existing (or deleted) site and see what comes up. You may well be surprised. In the case of archive.org one can request that material you own is deleted from their servers, however there is no guarantee that someone has not (in the meantime) taken a copy of sections of your blog/website. So, basically, once one presses that publish button your content is (quite possibly) out there permanently.
This is something I’ve always wondered about. I see so many bloggers take down their blogs when they lose interest or they feel like their blog has fulfilled its purpose. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve visited a blog I like and seen a message saying the blog has been removed.
I don’t get it. Even if I were to lose interest in blogging and stop writing posts, I would still leave my blog(s) up. One, it costs nothing on WordPress. Two, people will continue to stumble on my blog and may be helped, entertained, or inspired by something I wrote. Three, people who already know about my blog want to go back and reread something they already read.
It’s always so disappointing to see that a blog I’ve grown attached to no longer exists. If I haven’t kept in touch with the blog’s…

Who carried out an inspection of Hell.
She said, with a frown,
“I must close this place down,
Due to the terrible smell!”
