(My first poem) The Notebook My own personal canvas expanding its pages like a universe, existing as my personal codex. A safe-haven holding my deepest darkest secrets dormant in a chamber of my heart. My best friend created as my book of revelations counting the years my notebook and I share. holding it close and keeping its meaning closer, jotting every thought racing to my mind allowing the words to flourish and bloom. Every page a wave in my endless sea of thoughts twisting and turning with every creation a novel full of dreams, perishing under its own weight as the reality burns the book to crisp.

Welcome, Joseph. Great to have you aboard.
Just a thought re: The Notebook - since all your ideas seemed water/ocean/sea oriented - perhaps something rather than 'burned to a crisp.' could be considered.
If you don't want 'thoughts' just say so. But sharing really is quite fun, and usually beneficial. At least, I have found it so.
Does your photo indicate an island home? I used to live in Bermuda; so anything like 'ocean' captures me totally. I miss it.

Thank you Cynthia!
Re : The Notebook- I greatly appreciate your feedback and I would agree now to that last line is questionable considering I wrote this poem 2 years ago. I feel as if my poetry has some kind of melancholic undertone which is usually balanced with its opposite. I hope you can continue reading my pieces and offer any advice. The picture was taken on a beach in Puerto Rico which I highly recommend visiting. Thank you again!
