Juliet, Thank you for the comment on my layout. I didn’t write many poems. I did rewrite a few of them, but it is fun to just leave a few as they were, as a memory.

Susan, Thank you! I wish I could find my Phil poem, that was really honest!

This reads well. Great you kept it for so long.

Gautami - You sure made up for lost time! We all have poems that are less than stellar - I hope.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!! And for the WW welcome!!

Jessica, sorry you couldn’t read it, it was not exactly a brilliant poem, though. I hope this site won’t
always be so hard to read, its font is nearly as light as the old ink. Will be back to view more photos.

Brian, the picture, I would think should be inside the box, but hey, I think outside the box all the time, so maybe I am sending it “outside the box” vibes. I would love to have read your earlier writings, it is a window to growth. Love, what love? My brother and I never got along as kids, but Phil, now… but that young love was totally unreciprocated.

Paisley, thank you, I liked the effect on some of the pictures, and am adopting your term, “picture bridge”. I don’t think I will even try to change it. I’ll take old love any day. . .

Clare, I have to admit, way back then, I was so proud of my creative solution to his procrastination and dislike of poetry. The ironic thing is my brother grew up to be a musician and has been writing songs for years, just another word for poetry. LOL.
