April 9 - Younger you.

Many a night me and Mr. Bear would be under the covers, secretly with a lamp and later with a beef jerky stash I had under my bed from the janitor.....I was obsessed with reading and writing poetry as a child. I feel a little sad I don't write anymore. The words do not float from my pen as easily, I miss being less critical of the 'product' I create, be it writing or photography.

 

Also, I find the act of dating and personalizing a book before gifting endearing to this day. Everyone thinks I'm weird. I guess I have my parents to thank for that. teehee!

 

G'nite all. Think bear will like to cuddle? (I can't believe I do not remember his name). c. 1975. By R. Dakin. Contents: shredded clippings, Styrofoam, ground nutshells (no nut allergy fears back then). Book of Random House Poetry for Children selected by Jack Prelutsky, illustrated by Arnold Lobel.
