I too have notepads everywhere. I like to give my poems an airing. Sometimes they haven:t seen the light of day for years. Out they come for an airing. I can't always remember the inspiration for them either. Thanks for visiting this senryu Tina.

Your welcome hope to see more of your writings.

[Tina]

I have several note books that I have writings in over the years I go back and read them sometimes.

[Chris Shaw]

I replied in the wrong place. That's old age creeping on. Please scroll up and you will see the response I intended for you Tina.

Clever poem Chris and so relatable. The experience of trying to resuscitate an abandoned or neglected poem. Love the title and Easter reference.

Sometimes great discoveries of forgotten writings are made as if Fate decided that certain ideas must see the light of day after all. One might think of Emily Dickinson's poems stuffed in desk drawers or the Nag Hammadi texts that were found in a cave in Egypt in the '40s. It also brings to mind the Lord of the Rings where the ring "wanted to be found." Who will "unearth" these digital archives in years to come, I wonder...

[Chris Shaw]

You have made a great point there Laz. That will be a huge task to be undertaken to rescue a nugget or two. Many thanks for your thoughtful response.

Oh, the old dusty poems of mine scream volumes for a come back. Sad thing is I think that can surpass most of ones I've written today, not all, but most. Wonderful short poem you've written. I think it will stir me to action. Tyfs

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks Cyprian for checking in. All good wishes.
