Welcome - Sonnet XX

I thought that I should write another post,
To tell you all just how I feel today.
Although I haven't been the greatest host,
Sometimes we know it has to be that way.

This really was a backward way for change,
To rear its ugly head, or so I thought;
Another thing for me to rearrange,
But look at what forth this small change has brought.

A sweet and beautiful new place, have I,
To write the tri'ls and triumphs of my days;
New freedom to create what I aspire,
Without the doldrums of their silly ways.

And so my friends, again I stake my claim,
With this new start— By Any Other Name.
