Comment from Pam (respa)
Thanks for sharing your notes, the author notes, and poem. I enjoyed reading your poem. It flowed well with effective imagery and rhyme. A very good opening line, and very good descriptive detail about how you write in your notebook. I write in one occasionally. I like your verse about how your poem is proper once you have typed it. A very good closing verse and a good idea, too. Very well done and interesting reading.

Thank you very much Pam, for this nicely detailed review. Your comments are most perceptive. I beam with joy having read it. I hesitated showing how messy my notes actually are, but I quest it worked out OK. Have a wonderful day.

You are very welcome, Treischel. Some of our greatest writers did things like that, but they didn't have computers. I thought it was very interesting and it did work out okay.
Comment from tfawcus
So that's the genesis of Black Shape Confusion! A marvellous sonnet, and I was pleased to see it got at least some recognition from the committee.
I enjoyed this one chiefly for the ingenious rhyming and humour. Thanks for lifting my day!

Thank you Tony. It was a fun write. I appreciate the comment about the Sonnet, and your review on this one.
Comment from Nottoway
I like the way you did this piece. I am in the search now for many of the original penning I did starting in the late 1970s. Sadly, I have a feeling that some may have been tossed out (not by me) during the period when I was suffering from the cataract issues.
I hopeful I can find some as I did come across a binder with some works about two weeks ago.
I like the idea of making the scribbles and then going back to revisit and refine them.

Thank you Nottoway, at least that works for me.
Comment from Jodi Ann Anderson
It's interesting to see other ways that people write. I type in the notes section of my phone, but have started writing them in a book in case something happens. I love the flow and rhyming. Great job with this!

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
I enjoyed this poem about your process of writing in your notebook. I have a similar process. Creating on a keyboard feels wrong to me and I have always liked to create with pen in hand in a notebook that I can carry around with me. Nicely written. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Marilyn, I am please you enjoyed it. It works for me as long as I can read my own scribbling.
Comment from CornishChick
I laughed out loud on this one. Yep, my notebooks look exactly the same, which is why I use my laptop almost 100%. The poetry was fun, light and completely entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I'm not sure how you understand your notes, and this is why I use a computer to write my poetry as the words seem clearer. I enjoyed your poem about the process here, love Dolly x

Thank you Dolly, sometimes I have a hard time reading my own notes. Lol. I appreciated the review and comments.
Comment from pome lover
very good. your notebook looks like the pad I have by my bed when I wake up in the middle of the night with a brilliant idea. And, you got me thinking of a word that rhymes with cupid (besides stupid) I could only think of some near misses. Instead of looped, you could say, Loo-ped. pitiful.
If some steals your work, I think you'll have a time deciphering your original, anyway good poem, first draft and all.

Thank you poem lover. Hmm, loo-ped. I like the way you think. Gave my a chuckle. Now I?ll have to write one that uses it.

great. I'd like to read it.
Comment from patcelaw
This is very nice and done. I do not keep a notebook of my work because it is very hard for me to hand write anything. And even to try to do it on the computer and copy it office difficult for me as well. I enjoyed your pound, however, very much. Patricia .
