What you've done here is beautiful, @firststeps ♥

I find it fascinating, too, and I'll tell you why. I think that even when a poem of our creation won't make it to the public eye (just because we don't want it to, or we feel it's too private, or whatever reason), it is a splendid way to register our thoughts and feelings regarding any event in particular.

Here's the thing: I've started to keep a personal journal of poems only, and I've just revisited this morning my note from two days ago; I've found it really healing. And for that, I have to thank you because this idea came to me after I read your poem "Lift Off"--I'm hardly in the "Immersion" phase, but I know I'll move forward.

Thank you! ☻
