This is a poetry site. This is my poetry site. It is basically my opportunity to show off one of my little talents to the world. Yes, I write. These are some of my writings. I am inspired by life-->my life-->to write. I am inspired by the sun in the sky, the flowers in the ground, the crowds walking by...I am inspired by LIFE. I like to capture simplicity and bring people's awareness to what they normally overlook. I like to write about what is on my mind, and I innocently place my words in front of you as a side dish in your own life. I believe in standing outside yourself and viewing things from different perspectives. I believe in trying on the other person's shoes and walking around in them for a while. I believe in me. I believe in you. I can thank my grandma for passing down her artistic gene to me. I can thank my (mysterious) Aunt Debbie for giving me my first diary, which sparked the flame of writing about myself and the world around me from a personal perspective at such a young age. I can thank Anne Frank for capturing her life and inspiring me to capture my own. I can thank Jewel for writing poems and therefore inspiring me to start as well, and not just poems, but songs as well. I can thank Dorothy Parker for capturing love and wit and dispair so elegantly, making me want to live up to her status. I can even thank math class for boggling my mind and beckoning me to dream. I can thank so much. As you can tell, I am a thankful person. I am a dreamer, yet i can be shallow at times. I am sometimes right, I am somtimes wrong. I am ordinary, yet I am so different. I am effervescent, yet I can be quite flat at times. I am honest, yet I do lie sometimes. I can love. I cannot love. I can be loved. I cannot be loved. I can be. I cannot be.
Everyone in this world, existing or not existing, is left open to intrepretation. We see things how they are based on our past-->based on what we have experienced. Poetry is just that as well (as is EVERYTHING)-->left open for interpretation. What it means to you-->what emotions or memories it digs up-->is different or at least slightly altered than to what it brings or means to me.
So, read my poetry (actually, read ALL poetry) with an open mind. Analyze it until it becomes dry and dull to you, until someone else shares their analysis with you and you see different things than you did before, and what was dry and dull suddenly becomes refreshed and moist with possibilities.
If you happen to like a specific poem, tell me. Tell me what it means to you. Sharing with the writer your analysis of their work can only further benefit your mind, as well as the writers mind. And share with me your work...your own stories....poems...songs. Id love to hear from you!
So treat my little peices of work with the utmost respect. if you think one to be horrid, explain to me why. These are peices of myself that I am showing off to you.
Be kind---->for hearts melt faster than ice.
SBBSG for life and yours for eternity....
