Notes to Self

Margins of red ink 

scribbled all around 

the neat black ink 

marching line by line 

up and down the page

Notes to self about

spelling, ideas, focus, 

qualities, punctuation 

later to be woven into 

the 400th manuscript.

“What I want are words that 

reflect my heart, not my cleverness.”

~ Hugh Prather, Notes to Myself: 

My Struggle to Become a Person
