I must say that I am not low on self-esteem but one must accept his weaknesses with grace. I have a weak grasp of language. I have no idea of stringing never-heard-of-before images and words together. I have no compelling unusual interests to write of. My writings are based on the banal commonplace experiences of a typical neighbourhood guy. Why try so hard to write really when your "individuality" has been expressed by someone else? Your personality is but a counterfeit, reflecting the nuances of those before you. Then I surfed a poetry site and found the exact issue being discussed. A wise fellow replied, "Have you tried writing something no one else has written about? Try a dustbin, for example" I was humbled by her simple statement and tried for days to come up with a poem about a dustbin. I began but had to stop half-way. I really gave it serious thought, wanted to give it my all but unfortunately, inspiration eluded me But I now know better than to give up on writing. I resolve to see the "dustbin" objects/experiences around me and make their voices heard *********************************************** a poem about a dustbin a dustbin may seem unglamourous, reeks of stinky stuff but hey, i wish i were as magnanimous as the bin, secure enough to collect my agonizing pits and bitter recollections without complaints |

faterider... It is the "dustbin" experiences that make for a great poem. I really enjoyed this! In the dew of little things, |

enjoyed this..and it is the mundane...sometimes put into a new light which helps us see what our eyes and hearts have been ignoring..simply because we have grown used to seeing or feeling it. Loved the way the pome unfolds and tells itself..till the end...and then it gets tied up in a neat little package... Good work! |

indeed, this is what makes a writer, when he can take the ordinary. . . and make it sing. . . great job my friend. . . you should be proud of this one. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I think you evoluated great. What makes Passions so interesting is the diversety (right spell?)of people and their poetry. I must say that I am not low on self-esteem but one must accept his weaknesses with grace. I have a weak grasp of language. I have no idea of stringing never-heard-of-before images and words together. I have no compelling unusual interests to write of. My writings are based on the banal commonplace experiences of a typical neighbourhood guy You shorten yourself pal, you just wrote a marvellous peace here. And I think the banal commonplace experiences are the most interesting to write about. Thanks for sharing your dustbin with us. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
