Ode to My Documents

My Documents are dead. The Desktop has fallen. They are coming.
By some horrid, twisted mistake, most of my documents on my computer have been deleted. The stuff I hardly ever look at were saved, but my poems? My story beginnings? All gone.
Sick, sick irony. I don't know how it happened. But I guess it's a lesson learned the hard way; always double-check everything, back things up on hard copies, and as my aunt wisely said, "Save it in multiple places."
But, even as I sob and throw a bouquet of virtual flowers on my no longer existant documents, I will look back on the things I can remember from there.
My Poems and the Notepad Gang: I Say, What I Am, From the Corner, Keyless Gate, Rhoslyn's List of Words, Words, Facts, Massacre, Unsung
The Stories, Featuring Lists and Definitions: Excerpts, V.M.D. Backpack, Marlite Legends, Odd, Storm Ferne and Martlett, HP Icons, The Story of Griselda Marchbanks
