A Writer's Notebook



It keep's in all the rage.
And all the love.
A virtual safe with no combination.
His personal thoughts roam like buffalo.
His emotions run wild like enraged panthers.
It's quite a safari in here.
Everything he thinks or feels resides here
It's a sanctuary if anything.
He comes here to find peace.
And to visit the wild life.
Now and again, He'll drop off another one.
My it's getting crowded.
We're on the last page.
Oh, wait.
There's a clean and blank one on the shelf.
A word of caution though,
You might find something you didn't
Want to know.
