Comment Moderation

Good morning!

I am writing to tell you that I have turned on comment moderation but only for comments that are 8+ days older than the post. We have been spammed lately . . . and all the junk has been on comments that are way older than one week. This has happened on my own blogs and I found that turning on comment moderation for older posts has stopped it.

This should not be too inconvenient for us. Of course, I will approve any valid comment (it is so easy to tell the difference!) and I receive notification instantly.

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer day without rain or troubles.

Love, A

Prompt 73: Inner Voice

Christine of Quiet Paths shares this section of the Pablo Neruda poem "Ode to a Waterfall" to acccompany this week's prompt, inner voice. Thanks, Christine! And thanks for the beautiful photo above.

What I have given you,
will never be a burden,
because
what I gave you
was always yours,
the flower or the wood,
the word or walls,
food of fleeting
love, resting or burning
in our hands.
But all
I gave you,
all I give you,
all I extend to you,
will contain this secret
voice
of
water.

Prompt 72: Thinking

Thanks to Jim Jim's Little Photo and Poem Place for this week's prompt, thinking. Here's his poem, and here is his photo.


Thinking

I've been thinking of times we had;
places we went, nice life we lived,
and the joys we shared. Thinking about you.

Been thinking of the home we made;
the house we found, children we have,
and the love we had. Thinking about us.

I've been thinking now that you've gone;
what did I do, where have you been?
I'm alone. Thinking about you and me.

Prompt 71: The Stranger

"The stranger" is this weeks prompt, courtesy of Beth Patterson, whose blog is Virtual Tea House. Thank you, Beth! Here is her poem:

On any graced day
The stranger shuffles, glides, stalk, trails over a horizon
Gently pushing aside the lilacs obscuring hearts’ doors
Asking only an audience.
