For the first time
I write specifically for
You, blog-followers.
For forty years the spring
Has babbled forth - you now
Set your vessels to catch some water.
You gratify me - yet
I fear lest I assume
Laurels crown my writing.
If any gold
Can be panned from my stream
Another has put it there;
If any refreshment touches
Your palate Another
Has settled the silt out.
May salt from the new cruse
Cause that this stream
Bursts with pureness only.
