I saw cats in the backyard eating sunflower seeds!
Making tweed jackets out of foxtail and white clover weeds!

“Hello Kitties, can I take your picture, please.”

I’ve written a lot of poems over the years — some serious, some absurd. Many are tucked away like pressed leaves in forgotten journals. This scrapbook started because I deleted all my WordPress tags, but then I realized I still needed them.

This is my way of bringing a few of my most favourite lighter moments back to life — with doodles, tape, and photos (thank you, CGPT). Think of it as a time capsule of whimsy: teddy bears with banjos, drunken fishing trips with my spider friend Phil, the flightless bee and the latest backyard cats in clover couture.

As I rediscover pieces, I’ll be adding “pages.” This was fun to make. Sometimes, poems don’t need editing — they just need a second look, and a glitter sticker.
