I love my community of bloggers.
They’re fun.
I love them
Each and everyone.
There’s Hobbo, Beth,
Eden, the Don,
dear old Ed
& a Coyote name John.
There’s Chel. also,
formerly Chelsea,
a big fat can of worms
Little Charmer’s pithy poetry.
There’s eob2
with her eyes of blue
her mystical poems
their music too.
Karen, of course,
her Yard Sale of Thoughts
teasing us with ruminations
her imagination has wrought.
Then there’s foresty Ulle
what can we say of him?
A man , sharply observant
with a taste for whim.
Then like a shooting star,
there’s our phantasmagoric friend:
David, jester and artificer
on a trip that will never end.
Not forgetting Jewish Young Professional
and Sarcastic Fringe Head
like my mum used to say,
you wouldn’t for quids be dead.
So to my fellow bloggers,
one and all,
each day spent with you
is a real cyber carnival.
“a cyber carnival” Perfect description. Now I know how to answer anyone who asks about our blog platform!

Can’t believe I’m in your carnival, feels like I’m juggling, riding a unicycle in a leotard with feathers in my hair. You’ve created your own magical place in just one post, John. Thank you. I’m so honored to be under your big tent.. Think I’ll stay as long as you’ll have me. 😉

I only know him as ‘Hobbo’ ; like a few of my fellow bloggers they use nom de plumes; I thought of doing that but couldn’t come up with anything clever 🙂
LikeLiked by 2 people
i love that. i am also known as peaches. it was my young childhood nickname and i reclaimed it as a grandmother. now all my grandies, sons-in-law, and some friends call me that.

johnlmalone (who lives on the other side of the world) is a very clever nom de plume. I would never have thought of it. And the upright between the n and m is a stroke of genius…..

I need to ponder that for a while, Don; perhaps after another glass of red 🙂

Beth, I have looked up my dictionary for derivation of Hobbo, for I, like you, did wonder from where this strange name did come from. Was it something hiding in the Yorkshire forests and only came out at night? Was it scary? Did it croon to the moon? Dunno , so looked up and found
‘abbreviation of hobby condo / an urban apartment kept for recreational purposes by a person who normally resides in the suburb’
Sounds like a party house Beth….

The one they call Hobbo has not denied it yet so must be true Beth…..
