I bought one a few years ago, and it kept getting buried in my purse. Because I drive in a lot of traffic, it was too hard to dig it out. So I tried keeping it in the cup holder, and it kept falling out. I'm such a nervous driver, I can't seem to manipulate anything else. Sigh! The good news is that the idea for the poem did come back to me. Now I just need to remember what I wanted to say about it! : )Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786457482835741494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243430375503775910.post-80978437121783571132014-07-27T12:34:20.367-07:002014-07-27T12:34:20.367-07:00Thanks for stopping by, Mary Lee!

I try to reassured myself, "If it was meant to be, the poem will come back." But really, it pisses me off (excuse my French). (And idea while driving is no problem--I just use voice memo on my phone or my mini-recorder.)

I luv the line about the kitchen sink (following your good link...)<br />Always a push-pull for writers. Experience life (making pie as she mentions) or go get those words down. Now! <br />Something equally stellar, though different will flow to your day for the one you share that got away. <br />And, luv how this title (& great illus. from Jane Breskin Zalbin) is a 20-year-old shelf pal of yours.
