Poetry (I think)

Non Human Entity

Hi,

I know some people are very averse to poetry but when I am really feeling the grip of frustration just writing out whatever comes to my head really helps. It is usually short sentences, words associating with other words. It's like my brain is so frantic it cannot form complex sentences so spits out phrases and imagery. Any way I wanted to share what I wrote tonight after a bad episode and wonder if anyone else does the same thing?

Creativity without expression.

Understanding without awareness.

Loneliness without comfort.

Words without sound.

 

Rivers without banks.

Hope without love.

Trees without roots.

Passion without foundation.

 

House without home.

Space without freedom.

Tears without meaning.

Shadows without people

  • Very good, I appreciate your poetry. 

    My personal aversion to poetry comes from school, where I was forced to read and listen to poetry on the school curriculum and then write essays about it.  I hated it and was rubbish at it.  Finally when I took my GCE O levels,  I ended up with an ungraded grade at both English language and literature. 

    I'm rubbish with my appreciation of poetry according to the expert teachers.  I hate them. (not the poetry itself)
