Poets Rally Week 44 Perfect Poet Award
Thanks, Jingle, for the award!
Before I discovered blogging, I was wondering where I can put my poems on-line. I thought of putting it in a personal website but it was too much work (those were the days of manual coding )Then I found Blogger, and as the old cliche goes...
I am posting this old poem for the award. I wrote this poem, expressing my desire to find a medium to show my works. Before I grow old. :)

BIGO
rust biting on hard joints
some say you don't look
a day over forty
lies are sweeter on the ears
damn, my left knee hurts again
i have, how many, five?
old notebooks of
poems
in fading pencil
to etch to .htm format
any luck ?
in how many, five, ten years ?
online
time is short & the water rises.

Good that you can now express so freely here at Blogland.
Congrats on the award!
(Thanks for coming by my blog)
it's a pleasure reading your blog, Andy. :)
thanks for your comments!
Congrats and well deserved, dsnake. :)
I might reopen a writing blog again someday I think. I came to realise the best place to store one's work is online -- it seems hard to lose things on the internet. I just found a website I made 10 years ago on Internet Archive and I thought it was gone for good. :D
hey Liz,
i really hope that you would start writing again. :)
it's scary, isn't it, hard to lose things on the internet? :) i have an old website too, it's still there but i have stopped updating it. and it's still getting visitors, omg! i thought of deleting it, but it's the first functioning website i created, and mostly by manual coding, so i am sort of reluctant to let it go. :)
well deserved award. keep smiling.

Congrats on the award! A well deserved one I should say. And beautiful work as always. Wow really? Five notebooks? Well, get em online for the benefit of us poetry crazy human beings to read! :)
thank you, Jay!
yeah, some of them are already online, some are being re-work, and some will never see the light of day.
i still like to write on paper. :)
