Writing poetry

[TranquillityBase]

These days, days of "retirement", I try to write every day, fulfilling the dreams of my youth.  Back then I started out using paper, moved to a typewriter, and now it's mostly straight to the computer, although there's nothing as terrifying as the blank page of a word processor.

When I started again, after a 30 year lapse, I did use a notebook for a while, simply because I couldn't take my computer out on the patiio, which is where they usually began (and still begin).  I've used my phone in times when I was travelling, but that's rare, because I hate travel.

it was a semi-sharp-three-inch-long-golf-course-pencil
and the flap of a matchbook 
that came together
to capture us 
in a seemingly unremarkable moment

This is grand.
