and some of the way you seem to work out the syllables etc very much my way... but do yourself a big favor: do not let your half-finished work and your ideas on scraps and in notebooks get out of hand...l am just turned 71 and am only now able to work on sorting through my numerous journals and too many scraps to find if anything's worth editing let alone publishing on here. I wish you God's graces on your life's journey through writing and carpentry work and monastic and other good works!
That is some very sound advice Laura, whenever I'm writing a poem with pen and paper I always make sure to type it up at the same time so I'm not having to decipher my scribbles at a later date! I do hope you persevere with working on your notes and publishing some of your work here, while it can be daunting to put your writing out there I've found the community here on substack to be exceptionally welcoming to writers of all ages and experience. I look forward to reading whatever you have to share! God bless.
Your notes look like mine...
