First Google what SEO means.

Daily writing prompt
What are your strategies for SEO?

First Google what SEO means,

OK is it a can of worms or a can of beans?

Neither worms don’t have strategies,

And to give them a website would be a tease,

All about manure and digestise,

So lets get back to the task in hand,

The aim is to join a merry Band,

Who want to optimise their customer reach,

Search Engine Opitimisation is the juicy peach,

There’s a lot of things you’ve got to do,

Of course you can use your AI tool,

To get it right will take some time,

So make sure what your saying is fine,

For without the content you are wasting your time.

Illustration labeled “SEO WORM” and “SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION,” with text including “DATA DIGGING,” “KEYWORD HARVESTING,” “KEYWORD RESEARCH,” “BACKLINKS,” “CONTENT STRATEGY,” “META TAGS,” “TRAFFIC,” “ANALYTICS,” “SERP,” “SERP TAGS,” “RANKING,” and “TRAFFIC BUILDING.”
A colorful cartoon worm explores the key concepts behind search engine optimization.

I’ve often wondered how pregnant women forget the pain.

Daily writing prompt
What’s one thing you know now that would have saved your younger self a lot of pain?

I’ve often wondered how pregnant women forget the pain,

Baby arrives healthy and happy and she forgets what felt at moments quite insane,

I’ve asked many mothers and they repeat with glee,

It all disappeared when I saw my baby,

Well for me my younger self I probably saw too much,

Made mistakes and felt out of touch,

My parents taught me right from wrong,

And I miss them now their gone,

The fact remains I did fine ,

Bad memories fade given time,

All about me is what I am and seems quite nifty,

I’m doing fine and I’ve ditched the shifty,

The people who never wanted to help,

And those that made me want to yelp,

Everyone has to deal with that,

But when your older you don’t give a gnat,

You can swat those critters away,

And smile because it’s a beautiful day.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Some French Subtitled Thing

Daily writing prompt
What’s the weirdest movie you’ve ever watched?

On a date with a new beau,

To an avant-garde cinema we did go,

It was all in French with subtitles,

And as time went on it affected my vitals,

My heart began to race,

And red was my face,

For the action it didn’t stop,

The movie was a real flop,

I must have seen every angle,

That from a bed a human could dangle,

Not that anyone did any harm,

Perhaps that was the film’s charm,

Nevertheless it was a sad end,

There was no second date you can depend.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Just when does morning begin?

Daily writing prompt
Tell us about your morning routine.

Just when does morning begin?

Is it waking up or when the birds begin to sing?

Sometimes I know I’m not quite ready,

So I close my eyes and cuddle my teddy,

Or if it’s time to face the day,

And have a shower and get on my way,

But wait I must have breakfast,

It’s breaking a fast,

Somethings are never meant to last,

And nutrition and sustenance must be had,

Being hungry is just plain bad,

I try to stick to porridge, yoghurt and honey,

But it depends if I have the money,

Or perhaps if I’ve been to the store,

Shopping is really quite a bore,

Nevertheless the one thing that is routine,

Is to check the latest news on my phone.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

I find a You-Tube Video really helps.

Daily writing prompt
What’s the best way to meet new people while traveling?

You don’t need to go so far,

All you need is a go-pro and a car,

It’s more than sending a card to granny,

Actually the production deserves a grammy,

That guy who played along with his guitar,

And the chap that turned up with a sitar,

It really just was a local do,

But everyone came including you,

We had such fun and filmed it all,

The sunset at the end was made to enthrall,

The locals felt life film stars,

And we really were welcome in all the bars.

We didn’t do many silly antics,

And we got lots of green arrows on Google Analytics.

Do you know HG Wells?

Daily writing prompt
If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?

Anyone who has read or seen his work,

Knows Herbert George saw the Universe and didn’t shirk,

He knew alien life like the back of his hand,

It wasn’t imagination that made his heroes take a stand,

Their derring- do, now, seems a bit out of touch ,

Their time machines didn’t have a clutch,

They had little direction and couldn’t change gear,

They were a way a second but it was really a year,

In HG’s vision he really saw,

That one day with Alien’s we’d have to jaw,

Like we all must be one day; HG is now subterrestrial,

Though in true Wellsian fashion I bet that he’s celestial,

He’s seen the Universe in all it’s charm,

And know the Alien’s will do us no harm.

He probably regularly gets to meet and greet,

An alien on every street.

Listening

Daily writing prompt
What’s the most underrated life skill?

It’s interesting to see what really makes people happy,

Is it parties or sound and dancing around?

It’s what makes them get really yappy,

They can’t hear each other speak because of

the sound,

So it becomes a vicious circle,

One that they can’t get off,

Some talk and become hysterical,

Others can’t get their words out and begin to cough,

At the beginning of the day they need quiet time,

The songbirds chords make the air around them glisten

Their music is in the air it’s quite sublime,

The birds are singing it’s time to listen,

Live and Let Live

What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by?

I get by each day.  with my Mantra,

That and a sneaky can of Fanta,

I know it’s got sugar and really bad things,

But sadly for me, my bell it rings,

It fits neatly in with what I know,

That we all get by with the seeds we sew

Learn to understand and forgive,

And most importantly remember to  live and let

live.

On Foot

Daily writing prompt
What’s the best way to explore a new city?

Obviously you have to be aware,

That there’s those of whom you must beware,

But on foot and in the dark at first,

Should satisfy your wanderlust thirst,

A little rain is all the better,

It doesn’t matter if all you have is your sweater,

Those glistening pavements will make your

eyes glisten,

And for the dawn chorus you begin to listen,

Suddenly a large Church appears,

So beautiful it almost brings you to tears,

It’s getting light now and the City begins to stir,

Behind a railing you hear a cat purr,

Perhaps you’ll browse the travel guide at breakfast,

Noting sites as you enjoy your repast,

But for a moment the City is yours,

Not for you the busy bus tours

You’re alive, so get on with it!

Daily writing prompt
What’s a moment in your life that made you feel truly alive?

Actually feeling “truly alive” in this context of an AI prompt,

Reflects the values of the avaricial swamp,

There’ll be endless responses about winning ,

And how it is actually quite fun sinning,

In this I’m afraid life is defined,

But this poem is just to remind,

From the spark of our conception,

To our inevitable passing with no exception,

Our lives are miracles of their own,

Alive is a currency and the seeds are sewn,

So celebrate every moment,

You are alive so you better get on with it!
