Oh, I added a plugin, all shiny and new,
To count all the visitors coming to view.
I clicked and I tinkered, set it up right,
Then checked on the app—oh, what a delight!

Two visits, it said, a number so small,
“Surely more love me,” I thought, “that can’t be all!”
I swapped to another device in a flash,
And peeked once again—still two on the dash.

I told myself firmly, “I won’t check again.
I’ll wait four whole hours, or at least maybe ten.”
But like a watched pot that refuses to bubble,
I couldn’t resist—I was asking for trouble.

“Just one little peek,” I muttered with glee,
“Perhaps now there’s five, or maybe twenty-three?”
But alas, the same number stared back at my face—
Two visits! No change! Oh, what a disgrace.

So now I’m convinced, no one loves me at all.
I’m shouting my woes at this digital wall.
I’ll close it, I swear, I’m done for the night,
But wait—did the counter just flicker? A light?

One more little peek, it’s my final decree…
Still two visits. Fine. Guess it’s just me.
A poet in waiting, alone with my site,
Perhaps I’ll go viral… next Wednesday night?

For Robin – Blood Donor

Beneath the sky, I park and wait, A quiet vigil, a twist of fate. He walks inside, his heart so bold, To give his blood, his story told. And here I sit, with guilt’s soft sigh, For once I tried, and once did try. But body weak and rules so […]

The Palette of Joy

Life is a canvas, vast and free, Painted in hues of serenity. Brushstrokes bold, yet soft with grace, A masterpiece time cannot erase. Art is the language of our soul, Binding hearts to make us whole. In every colour, light does gleam, A living tribute to every dream. Happiness blooms […]

By The Sea

As a child by the sea, I lived a game, In winters wild, where the waves would claim The promenade, with a roaring might, Chasing the shops in the fading light. I’d dare the fence, the wave’s retreat, A fleeting race on unsteady feet. Most times I’d win, but once […]
