Poetry

Last night as I was looking for my novel I realized that I couldn't find my poetry books either. I started writing poetry in junior high. I decided about my sophomore year that I would keep a hard copy of everything that I had written. I bought two green plaid blank journals and would write all the final versions in there.

I haven't seen them since we moved four years ago. That makes me infinitely sad too. I did find a typed copy of some of the early ones. It is a small portion of the first book. It was a class assignment for college. At least I have that too. I started typing them up in a more modern format.

Since they are from the beginning some of them are really bad. I don't want to get rid of them though. I'm doing two books. The first one is everything good or bad. The second one is the ones tat are halfway decent. We shall see how many I end up with.

I can come up with more projects to keep me busy. Sometimes it is a real trial to have to go to work!
