Getting Personal - Journal Past Blast Blog Hop




Because of the holiday yesterday, I had forgotten to do my Tuesday Journal Past Blast, so it’s way late. But here is a poem I wrote maybe in 1990. This might be as personal as I may get in these postings.


Chris… saying grace with you
         telling secrets
         sleeping over
         let’s not make love
Deceiving our emotions
         digging a new path
I’m fearing what may lie ahead
         being turned on by a glance
Call me tonight because
         I need you.

If you’d like to join this blog hop and post old journal entries every Tuesday, just join in on the linky below.

  1. Thanks for sharing Nancy - you're braver than I :)

    Obviously I don't know what happened, but I hope you have fond memories of that time... it sounds like Chris was very special to you.

  2. You said a lot in those few words. At times, I think we all have had our own 'Chris' moments.

  5. Nancy - this is a great idea for a hop . . . however, I'm trying to cut back on my blogging days . . .I'll see if I can make this work in the next few weeks.

    You are awesome! (I'm just a little swamped)

    @ Mark K. - Yep, he was special for a time.
    @Jen - I'm 'bout ready for another "Chris" moment!
    @Suzanne & M.J. - I'm surprised with how many writers never kept journals

    @Tara - Thanks! Had to get over the nerves to post it. :)
    @Morgan - I never thought of it as a morning poem! ;)
    @Julie, Mark M. & Cathrina - Thanks! Love your inputs.

  14. This is a cool idea. I have posted a couple of my teenage journal entries and might post on a Tuesday. It's fun to re-live the past through journals.

    1. It would be great to see how you were as a teen. Unfortunately, I don't have anything saved before my college days since my last move and my file cabinet was lost.
