I don't know how many people feel the same way i do about a notebook, yes, just a regular notebook. When I see a brand new notebook I just can't wait to write on the first page of it, call me crazy but its true. When my 13 year old son had gotten his notebooks for school, 10 for $1.00, I told him "One of those is mine"... lol . Well that night I couldn't wait to write about something...and wouldn't you know it, I couldn't think of one thing to write about. For two days I tried to think of something, I told my boyfriend to give me a subject to write about...he thinks I am a loon anyway....he said, "just write about nothing to write about." and that got me thinking! That's how i come up with this poem, once I started writing i couldn't stop. THERE IT LAYS, A NOTEBOOK! CRISP AND NEW, IT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOE IT WILL BE USED. A NOTEBOOK IS A VERY POWERFUL THING, IT CAN HOLD THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND MAY TELL WHAT THE FUTURE WILL ...
