Just a quick post

I love looking through my notebooks. I always find little stanzas and phrases of things I started but never finished. Usually I stop them because I lose inspiration, but when I look back again I get new ideas. It's also really fun to wonder what I was thinking when I started writing them. I just found these:


I don't need anyone

to see me break down.

No one needs to watch

my tears flow to the ground.

~~~

Pleasure is a fickle mistress

sometimes she comes so easily

and delights you with her gifts

but other times she is so cold

Self Expression

That drop of yellow paint on the wall.

That streak of green on the sidewalk.

That sparkle floating in the air.

That is who I am.

The shadow lurking off screen.

The star twinkling in the sky covered by clouds.

The small daisy hidden in a bouquet of roses.

That is who I am.

A figment of your imagination.

A product of procreation.

A consequence of action.

That is who I am.

So yeah,  right now these aren't much. They're jewels in the rough, ideas that still need to be developed... but this is a good little sneak inside view as to how I think and write. I have small samples like these everywhere, and every once in a while I come across one and I get hit with inspiration. So I take these ideas and I play with them and sometimes what I come up with will be just a final version of the original and sometimes it is nothing like the initial work.

I wonder what these will turn into. I can't wait to find out. :)
