WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

I find myself left out ...


I find myself left out of a particular piece of history that I was very much part of; other names mentioned, not mine. I’m sad and surprised to be so forgotten. Someone once told me, ‘If it’s not written down, it didn’t happen.’ There are things I’m proud of. I don’t want them lost. Perhaps it’s time to assemble my own record, assert my place in that story. Or is it all vanity?


who remembers
