Playing With Poetry Workshop

Song Poems
One of two notebooks in the Trapper Keeper, circa 1987. For the heck if it, I thought I would review them. Cringe. Poems of idealistic love and yearning, lol. Like I said, cringe. #embarrasingworks. #idealisticlove #firstwriting
Trapper Keeper and Other Silly Things
The origins of my writing career, a Trapper Keeper. Over 30 years old, containing 107 song poems I wrote between 1987-89? Priceless and surprisingly intact. #writing #songpoems #loveandinnocence
