Little Pocket Notebook

Little pocket notebook,
Like Hemingway's or Kerouac's,
Masters of their craft
And all the others like them.

Poets and authors and
Thinkers and artists,
Philosophers and rebels and
All who would jot down a line or idea.

Little pocket notebook,
Journal or testament or diary,
Ledger or appointment keeper, maybe
Someone will go over someday.

Put away in boxes and upon shelves
Collecting dust and time.
Bulging with thoughts and dreams and works,
Polished or roughly scribbled line.

Treasures waiting to be discovered,
Secrets hidden away,
Pages waiting to be turned
Again by someone, someday.
