Back in my youth, before the internet, if you wanted to have poetry digitally, you typed it in from a book. Which I did. At the time, this was a collection to be proud of. Now I have updated it to Markdown and built a browser for it, so you can share in the poetry that fueled my imagination and made me the literary snob I am today.
