An old journal found

Tavia, Posted May 25, 2009

So, I found an old journal of mine today with dates from 2002 through 2004.  It is not completed, as most of my journals are.  I begin one, and work on it for a while and set it down.  When I find the need to write, I just grab whatever journal is around to get me going.  I guess one day my kids will have a blast looking through all of them, piecing them together.  Hmmmmm.  Anyway, I thought I would share an excerpt.  Maybe I'll throw one into my blog every once in a while.  I don't share these very often, let alone to so many people....so, here it goes.

This one is from October 23rd, 2003 in the early AM.

Rhythm.
Rhythm of life,
Rhythm of words,
Flowing from pens, pencils and crayons.
From Elders and children, and awkward adolescents,
Rhythm of sounds, music and swirls.
 
Hope you enjoyed this little poem.  I have always enjoyed writing short poems and prose, and now haiku's, as you know if you've seen my Impressions series.  I do find it harder to find the time to sit and write, so the shorts are easier for me.  It has been fairly satisfying including the haiku's in my jewelry over the last two years.  It keeps me writing and satisfies two creative outlets.  There are a lot of empty pages in this journal and I have had a lot happen since October 2003 (two kids!).  Maybe I should fill some of those pages in....
