When Forgetting A Poetry Journal Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reading books, listening to how my mind interprets what
has been read, jotting down notes and thoughts at times
in the margins of my books.

At other times, writing ideas for future poems on a slip
or scrap of paper, a napkin or a piece of toilet paper,
whatever is at hand.

Whenever forgetting to bring my poetry journal into the
bathroom or wherever I happen to be at the time, any
piece of paper will do.
