What is a Writer’s Notebook?

It’s a Place
Ralph Fletcher

Why am I keeping this notebook?
Because it’s a place where I
can keep track of my life.
It’s a place where I can observe closely
And where I can store
little pieces of strength.
It’s a place where I can keep
the elements of Life
(lightning, fire, ice, time and space)
and Writing
(poetry, words, eyes).
It’s a place where tales weave.
All in all
it’s a place for ME.
