All of my passionate poems were actually song lyrics. I was going to be a famous lyricist. I still have them all - every awful word - locked away in a secret place no one will ever find. :)

April, I wrote "passionate poetry" in my journal in junior high too. Unfortunately, I saved only one of those journals. I wish I'd kept them all.
Love your idea to journal for only 1 minute at the end of the day. I've read a similar suggestion to write only one sentence at the end of the day. I'll have to give it a try.
