So I was going back through poetry journals I'd kept for a few years--poetry's been on my mind more and more lately, especially after discovering this medium through a site I found via StumbleUpon. I've long wanted to effectively mesh my poetry with photos I've taken. I can feel myself getting back into the head space where I actually could be creative to the point of creating something I'd be proud of.
Like this poem, I wrote back at the end of January 2004, 9 days after meeting Tomek:
you asked me
"where have you been all this time?"
i smiled, blushed and didn't know
but skin touches melted fear
one look untied a heart of knots
you smiled,
i found a part of me long lost
and then i knew--
you asked me where i've been all this time
i've been searching for you
Should re-reading my own old poetry have this much effect on me? I don't know. But I read that again and again and the power of the emotions I felt upon first meeting Tomek come flooding back. My feelings are just as strong now, if not stronger, but back then, it was all so raw.

I go back occasionally and re-read some of my writing from ages ago. Some of what I look back on pre-dates 1993, but fortunately for me, a lot of it that is post 1993 is still on-line.
yes it should. that means you did it right.
