Billy Collins wrote, “The trouble with poetry is / that it encourages the writing of more poetry / more guppies crowding the fish tank / more baby rabbits / hopping out of their mothers into the dewy grass. // Poetry fills me with joy / and I rise like a feather in the wind. / Poetry fills me with sorrow / and I sink like a chain flung from a bridge. // But mostly poetry fills me / with the urge to write poetry...” (1) So it is with blogging. After reading a few posts, the mind thinks, “Hey, I’m observant and engaging. What RSS viewer wouldn’t benefit from my wit?” So the cycle continues.
