Excellent

Wonderful short verse matched with very appropriate illustration

Liked:
yellowed pages - indicating age
cursive -,something no longer taught in some schools
.. great times - yep they are/were!

good luck in contest

Oops, I re-rated to 5. It was a typo. Thanks for the pinch. Truthfully, if it was that bad, you would not have received any review or rating!

Mea culpa!

Thank you sweetie. I was hoping it wasn't that bad. Ll

apologies again for the agita I had caused - it was inconceivable that my favorable review/comments would also warrant a low rating (-;

I love writing with a fountain pen, I love the look of it the heft of it and the flow of ink.
I love a journal ..it's so full of promise and beauty
Well penned ...good times indeed
God bless

Isn't it wonderful to come across something like this and to be drawn back into memories of the time it was written. Or better yet to discover words written before you were even born and to explore what was happening in those days.

A very evocative 5-7-5 Good luck in the contest.

Steve
