Thank you for taking the time to comment. I’ve found diving right in, and screwing up the first couple pages with random doodles, and any rhymed lines my mind can think of (no matter how asinine) keeps the rest of the notebook from feeling too sacred to serve its purpose. Hope that might help :)

This is exactly how I feel holding a new notebook.

Some of these poems could be submitted and accepted by established print and online poetry journals.

Too much goodness here to respond to all so just a couple of direct comments:

Mackenzie: You’re in good company with your theme, company millenia old:

From the famous collection of Japanese Court Poetry titled “Kokinshu” there is this:

A poem from a poetry contest held by Her Majesty, the Empress, in the Kanpyô period.

yuki Furite
tosi no kurenuru
toki ni koso
tsuFi ni momidinu
matu mo miekere

Snow falls and
The year comes to an end,
It is at this time that
Truly, evergreen
The pine tree seems.

Mariah: Too bad you hate the stuff, you’re already a poet! Here’s a poem by Marianne Moore that might make coming to grips with your fate a bit easier: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15654

To all Clackamas poets: Well done! Who knew you had it in you, eh? (Yes, we really do say that in Canada.)
