As I think back on 45+ years of creative writing now, I wonder about the preservation of hundreds of things from well before 2009.  Here is a catalogue, in roughly chronological order, starting with the oldest and finishing right before I posted poetry directly on this website.  Man of the first seven hundred are lost in paper copy, which is almost certainly for the best; they probably exist on the original Floppy Disc, probably in a landfill somewhere. Interesting ones are linked to the full poem.
