I left the corporate rat race to become a stay at home mom after I had my 2nd child. I have been married for 11 years to my husband. Mick who is a commercial pilot. We have two children: 5 year old Benjamin and 2 year old Fifi (AKA Sophia). I am an adoptee in the 2nd year of reunion with my birthmother. Being an adoptee does not define me but hell if it's not always there.
I've always preferred abstract type art to straightforward landscapes still life portraits etc. I desire to be able to look at the art work and evaluate. See something new each time. Have that initial reaction and then feel the pull to come in closer and see more. Feel more. Poetry can give me the same feeling. I wasn't able to recognize this until I was almost 30 however. I had some sort of mental block against poetry. I saw it as pretentious unnecessarily wordy a expend of time. That was until a couple of friends poured me some red wine and introduced me to the strange world of. Why did Bukowski do it for me? I have no clue. He's a nut. Example:
To give life you must take life,and as our grief falls flat and hollowupon the billion-blooded seaI pass upon serious inward-breaking shoals rimmedwith white-legged white-bellied rotting creatureslengthily dead and rioting against surrounding scenes. Dear child. I only did to you what the sparrowdid to you; I am old when it is fashionable to beyoung; I cry when it is fashionable to express emotion. I hated you when it would have taken less courageto love.
Yeah. But there it is. I was curious. I have ever so slowly started exploring more. Now that I'm on NaBloPoMo go #2. I've even taken a stab at writing. It's been so wildly popular that I'm thinking of writing some more. (OK not really. Not at all to be honest. Although my hub did give me a high complement when he said he had no idea that I'd written the poem because he thought I'd stolen it. RINGING endorsement right there people.)How do you feel about poetry? Do you read it? Do you like it? Are you willing to try to create verbally some for yourself?
I toyed with some poetry writing when I was younger but don't be to have the creativity for it any longer. Love that painting.
I don't read that much poetry but I also don't dislike it. I like writing but have only tried poetry when I was forced to by an english professor! I think you should act to pursue your poetry because you like it and have a talent for it. Go for the conceive of!
My poetry days are over.. because it TRULY SUCKED. :) I do enjoy reading it.
