What is a blog?
The dictionary describes a blog as follows:
Use Blog in a sentence
blog [blawg, blog] Show IPA
noun
1. a website containing a writer’s or group of writers’ own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other websites.
2. a single entry or post on such a website: She regularly contributes a blog to the magazine’s website.
verb (used without object), blogged, blog·ging.
3. to maintain or add new entries to a blog.
verb (used with object), blogged, blog·ging.
4. to express or write about on a blog: She’s been blogging her illness for almost a year.

Therefore based on rule #1, “a writers’ own experiences, observations, opinions, etc.”
I have decided after considerable consideration that I will continue to post on my blog
anyway I see fit and if anyone doesn’t like the means in which I choose to express my inner most thoughts, don’t read my blogs.
In my case my thoughts often come in the form of a poem that relates directly to what and how I feel at that particular time.
My poems may seem dark at times because I live with “Major Clinical Depression” and
for reasons I can’t explain, when I’m in that dark place that only people with depression understand, my thoughts come to me in rhyme.

  1. Bazz, Smart to include the definition of a blog and I agree with it, but there is a gap between your poems and your personal observations or experience. I always wonder when I read a poem or story or joke about what the blogger and how he relates to his posting.
