Again, long time no see, Nate.

I hope you are doing well.

Again, this is probably also a good time to direct anyone interested to the start
of this thread, since it only picks up here at the point that JD Chase
responded, and I added this newsgroup so he'd find my "Thanks".

So... here's a link to the first post, where the "17 Poems" of the title can
be read:

And, again, to set the stage, and/or to help readers decide if it seems worth the
trouble, here's my introduction to the poetry:

Some background on this thread. The "Yellow Notebook Series" was a series of
sketch poems written in the Jack Kerouac Blues style, which he would write
in the little spiral note pads that fit in the shirt pocket. Here's an
excerpt of his explanation of these, and following that, a few of my efforts
in the form, which continue through this thread, with added commentary for
the Regulars of the day. Enjoy.

"In my system, the form of blues choruses is limited by the small page of
the breast pocket notebook in which they are written, like the form of a set
number of bars in a jazz blues chorus, and so sometimes the word-meaning can
carry from one chorus into another, or not, just like the phrase-meaning can
carry harmonically from one chorus to the other, or not, in jazz, so that,
in these blues as in jazz, the form is determined by time, and by the
musicians spontaneous phrasing & harmonizing with the beat of time as it
waves & waves on by in measured choruses."
-Jack Kerouac

And so it goes.
