Ever felt like this?
Truth is, no I haven't and in some ways I wish I had, using poetry is this manner would bring a purity to it that would, in my opinion, shine through. The question did make me think though and don't get me wrong, poetry plays a big part in me being me. I started writing the week I join the Pigpen and I saw it as a way of writing down all the photographs I never took, all the little exchanges that some how have influenced my life, I guess poetry to me is the jumbled diary I never kept, there is always a truth or a memory in these diary poems and I invest a lot of emotion when writing. There has been many times when my ability gets in the way and I feel I am going backwards, I recently started to complete last year NaPo simply because I was stuck, it did help me, and I think its because of why I write, each new topic links to a memory that I can draw on. Sometimes the results are bland and don't work but sometimes they do and these are the ones I care about. One last point and its an important one is the workshopping on this site is second to none and the only place I really trust people with my poems.
