Ode to a Post-It Note by Irene Latham

 

Here at the Purple Horse Poetry Studio & Music Room, I keep things pretty simple. Computer, notebook, pencil...and post-it notes! I use them for everything from bookmarking to plotting to middle-of-the-night musings. What a marvelous invention! 

Ode to a Post-It Note

you are both blazing flag
and quick net

you catch ideas
fragments
phrases
to do lists
and dreams

you stick—sometimes

I love your happy
predictable face

you offer no judgement,
only encouragement

you are a writer's best friend

thank you!
