Dedicated to PBW

In honor of Evermore, a plea for Paperback Writer to return to the blogosphere:

How are we to blog, Paperback Writer,
Ever silent, forever mute?
Internet between us, all the brighter,
Illuminated and shared, your insight astute.
I still read you,
However long you’re gone.
I’ll never leave you,
Your voice too strong.
Thus I check your blog daily as before,
Re-reading your archives, with you,
Evermore.

We all wait for the puff of smoke to emerge from the PBW smokestack. I keep hoping her silence simply means she’s swamped with meeting deadlines and not that there’s anything wrong. (She had mentioned having three to meet, so that makes sense.)

Great poem. I posted mine on my blog, and told everybody it was your fault.

I agree with Jean. I want to email her a little WE MISS YOU type note, but I figure she’ll be swamped with everyone ELSE’s WE MISS YOU notes, so I haven’t. *sigh* Love the poem. I think I’ll post one this week too.

[…] Though I will admit to delaying my post so long because I was hoping to get an inspiration for a poem to write in the hopes of enticing PBW to come back to her blog, as Joely and Ann and Jess all have. I must think on this overnight, and maybe I’ll come up with something then. […]

Okay, well, I haven’t been able to think of a poem all day. But I have put a link to this poem (and the others you inspired which I’m aware of) in my blog, and who knows? Maybe I’ll get creative tomorrow.

[…] 6. Since Evermore contains a wonderful poem written by PBW, some of us conspired to write poetry while she was gone to “lure” her back. Here’s mine inspired directly by the poem opening her next Darkyn release. […]

[…] Thirteen Things I love About Evermore Lynn Viehl’s Evermore releases on 1/2/2008. I was ecstatic to win an Advanced Reader’s Copy a few months ago and I loved it. I even wrote a poem about it. Hopefully after reading why I love it so much, you’ll fall in love with the Darkyn series, too! […]
