Bombs Away, Mommy Bloggers!
by Barbara Saxton
(Inspired by Article in Deb N.'s Presentation 7/7/08

You are not
alone
Narcissism may revolt you with its
germy backlash,
but some comments feel like a balm
on the chapped lips
of everyday anxiety.
The dirty details
the follies and foibles.
If scrapbooking is the urge
to put it all together, then blogging's
a compulsion to pull it all apart.
A whole world of women
raising children on this crazy
spinning planet.
Blogging doesn't make life
tidier, but keeps life
in your memory. You are not
alone.

I told you before - I like the "you are not alone" at the beginning and end. Some of your phrasing is really nice here; I especially like the line beginning "a compulsion..." as a line of poetry together.
