write more poetry

There’s so much in my mind and so many feelings in my body, but I just don’t have the words.

I wish I could put it down on paper, somehow.

Ain’t nothing like heartbreak to make words drip off my fingers. I’ve written a lot in recent weeks.

I’ve never written poetry that was quite so… literal.

Sigh.

I read through a few of my old journals where I wrote poems during my school years. Ohhhh my gawd they were so bad! lol Bad rhymes, cliches galore, vague lines.

Yeah writing them made me feel good at the time, and that means something. But as far as producing poetry that I can be proud of, they were pretty bad.

Which makes me feel great about some of the stuff I’m writing these days!

...because I used to write a lot years ago, and it brought me much pleasure. Then I got out of the habit, and I don’t know why.

Thing is, I still come up with a lot of poetic thoughts and I’m often inspired to write about something, I just don’t take the quiet time to do it. I need to change that.
