Notebook

Not too many folks today use notebooks, I suppose.
Older folks like me would use them all the time
To take notes or do homework in. Essays too I’d compose.
Even for journaling, I’d buy cute ones from the five and dime.
But today I generally use 
Only a few of them; like one for organizing lists;
One for poetry! I get my pen and write in it – inspired by my muse.
Keeping poems I work on in a notebook is my habit that persists.

Notebooks were our favourites when technology didn't displace everything. nowadays we use computers to record our thoughts...who knew some day computers would be our best friends!!! Beautiful Acrostic, Andrea. Best wishes ~ Mala

I finally put my poems on the computer, but I prefer actually writing them with pen in hand!
