A bittersweet look at life through a talented poet's notebook. I do hope you didn't throw it away, Fee. That's so much a part of you! Excellent poem.

Ah, Felix... the past came back to haunt the old man, or should I say justify the old man. I hope we all have old, old notebooks to remind us of what we felt a long time ago. Excellent write.

Peace. Joyce

Just a clarification if I may. I have no intention of throwing my own notebook away, this write is fictional just inspired by seeing my journal again.

O, Fee...this is beautifully written and so sad; but wished the man would have kept his long-ago dreams and doodles! Can't help but ponder: What would I take to "the home".
