Scraps of my Life

Too many bits of paper With random rhyming words That flew out of my mind Like frightened little birds Not wanting to lose it I grab what I can find Rushing pen to paper release it from my mind Note books, scraps of paper With my thoughts written strong In every drawer and odd places Every word my hearts song So many thoughts and memories So many days and years All on scraps of paper Recording joy and tears One day I'll gather them up Sort them into a file Post them on poetry soup In the hope of making you smile

I am smiling - as this reminds me of myself, chasing words I always forget where I wrote them so I can pin them on paper to create/build/construct some sense into it and call it a poem worthy to be read on poetrysoup. Congratulations on having caught the words you've penned here!

Thanks Josefina. I was thinking that surely other poets/writers would understand. If only I hadn't lost so many bits of paper with profound words never to be found again!
