Field Journal

This is one of my actual field journals (photo taken by me on my digital camera at the time) opened to where I composed a collection of Haiku in longhand while at a small table at Barnes & Noble where there's a coffee shop, and I used to spend time at that table having a beverage and composing poetry.

This visual poetry has been entered in the DUP competition "Visual Poetry for Social Media - Objectify".

very nice Jade! i found myself wanting to see the journal in an outside setting :)

Ah thank you so much, poet!  Yes, all of my journals have spent lots of time outside, and in my car... all over the place.

Wow...what a nice way to take down inspiring sites and sghts:) Jade

Thank you, Grace!  It's a wonderful tool and keeps everything at the ready whenever you need your notations of observations. xo

I love the photo, Jade, that personal touch you've given it.
So very artistic. And the back story, too. I can imagine you sitting at that table,
writing and sipping your drink.
Oh the things that journal must have seen...

Ah Kasai, this is such a sweet yet inquisitive response from you.  Oh what indeed the things seen... ^.^

to wander lonely as a cloud
with a journal & compose poems
as Wordsworth certainly did
when he sat on a hill...

Gosh John thanks so much for this.  While on my wanderings, my journal tucked in a woven paisley shoulder tote with my flat digital camera inside, I truly felt I had more company around me while I'd drank in the surroundings of nature, wind & rain, than when I was among other people.

How did I manage to miss this..?

I love both the image and the poem...

And I have two of the afore mentioned journals in my messenger bag, right now...

I really like this little poem..

😄

Why thank you, dear tommy, for your embrace & sharing of thoughts.  I'm glad you finally found this version with the verse.  I've written many a piece, and many notes, that later became poetry from such journals.
