Only a Few

'Only a Few' from 1988 til today and onward



The barrel and nib of the pen,

various colours of the ink

Well lined pages

on ecru coloured paper


for the mundane and fanciful, 

full of energy or exhaustion

good cheer or great sadness,

birthdays, anniversaries and memories


Books never seen at a book club

but at my own desk or in coffee shops, 

on a bench in the park, 

at a table in a  library


Journals gifted from family and friends

plain brown journals full of cursive loops,

to calm or energize a busy, fanciful mind

faithful listeners to my ramblings.



“Journal writing is a voyage to the interior.”

~ Christina Baldwin
