JanP has been using page kits to display some of the wonderful poetry she has written over the years.
What a marvellous idea - here are a couple of her pages with her notes on them below
This is about that feeling I sometimes get that a great truth is about to be revealed to me - if only I could remember what the question was that I needed to ask ... it's that "tip-of-the-tongue" feeling.

Have decided to haul out all the poems I wrote in the 1980s and see if I can find enough good(?) ones to put into a book. This is the first (although not the first I wrote), which I thought would be appropriate for the front page.
Poem:
Words Worth
The pen-kissed page reveals sweet phrases.
Sometimes what is written there amazes
me ...
What makes a poet different from the rest?
And who has right to stand in judgement;
saying that we pass (or not) their test?
Who best knows the worth of lines
if not the thoughtful poet who designs
them?
No one can determine quite as well
if what has passed 'tween pen and page
is really what the the writer wants to tell!
So critics in the world out there
may judge my efforts if they care
to ...
words not written for them to criticize,
but for myself, for my enjoyment,
without thought of any praise or prize.
