Wreck This Journal

An Ode to a Journal







I wrecked this journal once,
I wrecked this journal twice.
It started getting easier
to "not be nice."

I wrecked this journal three times,
and then I wrecked it four.
And my inner "wrecker"
hollered, "I want more!"

I've wrecked it with a pen,
I've wrecked it with some glue.
I've wrecked it with some coffee,
and with some pudding too.

I've yet to take it for a walk,
or with me in the shower.
In fact, the mere thought of it
makes me kind of cower.

A few more weeks of wrecking.
And then what? It's the end?
I'll be sad cause it's become
somewhat of a friend.


Corny, yes. But creativity is what it is!
Be sure to go to Wreck This Journal to witness the creative genius of Wreckers everywhere!

  13. Hope you have fun at Art Unraveled. I went last year and OD'd on classes (one every day Monday through Friday, plus evening classes M, T, Th, and Friday). I was exhausted! But I also worked on an ArtZine that was published and met Rebecca Brooks, a mosaic and mixed media artist from Prescott, Arizona who inspires me with her blog and our correspondence.
