Monday, January 17, 2005 Random Poetry #2The site I clicked on: www.youngna.com The word I highlighted: see Just a disclaimer: this poem isn't about anyone in particular, or at all. I just wrote what sounded good and it's more from the perspective of a character than anything else. The poem: See what you get when you fake it? You're only fooling yourself Your expiration date has passed I'm putting you back on the shelf You've wound me tight as a rubber band Watch me snap in your face See what you get when you play me like that? My name for you is Disgrace See what you get when I just stop caring? I'm leaving you out in the dust You may find my heart, my mind, my sympathy But you'll get no more of my trust posted by:Russ at 7:52 PM | Post Page | 0 comments Random Poetry #1 The site I clicked on: www.collegehumor.com The word I highlighted: day The poem: Days of wisdom, strength and light Turn to cold, seductive night When darkness comes you lose your sight Let life's hope be your guiding light Days of sea, storm and rain Turn to years without your pain Take one step out, see what you gain Your day of light will come again posted by:Russ at 7:51 PM | Post Page | 0 comments Random Poetry Explanation I'm baaaaaaaaaack! Today I started a new way (at least for me) to write poetry. What I do is I click on a random site on my blog, or anywhere really, and then randomly highlight a word with my mouse. I usually have my eyes closed to make it totally random, and I try to just highlight ONE word. If I end up highlighting only a portion of a word, which is how it seems to work most of the time, that's the word I choose. After I've got a word, I use that word to write a poem. It could be a theme for a poem, or the start of the first line. The point is for me to use that word to start the creative process. I think it's fun and challenging, and it might get me to write more! I'm going to post the first two poems I've done today, right above this post. posted by:Russ at 7:49 PM | Post Page | 0 comments |
