Ah, but that is a good to hear. Now don’t worry about the dust gathering thing, at least you have that much down.
Then comes the winnowing of the words.
You have a well spring of travel and places to write from, fabulous news to hear you are starting to put them down.
Yes, Dean Martin, I was looking for Jo Stafford, no dice.

LOL great graphic, I love it.
To: Lady Jag
All of a sudden I have the uncontrollable urge for a “Twinkie”.

To prevent the composition of a Tome, would a series of Travel Poems be appropriate?

Oh sure they would! Go for it!
One key to writing is jote down thoughts as they come to you. Just get them on paper whenever possible.
Then if you wish to, write a draft, then refine the draft.
However, this rogue poet does not work that way, mine is all totally free verse. ;)
Anytime you need help just whistle.

Was it the “Magic Bus”? The Golden Bus!

Joy and Sorrow chapter VIII
|
|
|
| |
Then a woman said, "Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow."
And he answered:
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.
Khalil Gibran
