So this is my first blog I've made in our APblog. Pretty sad, yeah. This is also my first blog, I guess. Happy Patricia? Im FINALLY posting a blog on this darn thing. :)
So anyways, summer vacation has started and now I can stay up as late as I want. What have I been doing on these late nights, you may ask? I've been pressing play on my "Asdfghjkl;" playlist on iTunes and attempting to get in touch with my poetic side... yet again. I say "yet again" because I used to be pretty into poetry- as amateur as I was and still am.
I came across one of my old poems earlier;
Alcohol
We turn to it in times of need
It cleans our cuts when we bleed
We turn to it to find truth;
the perfect weapon for a sleuth
Yeah, not much deep meaning there. I had some pretty good ones, I just cant seem to find them. But I will! Maybe they will provide inspiration for a newer and better poem.
Here's a taste of my current works;
Surreal Ideals
'Til now I had perceived something
nonexistent as a feeling still lingering.
Oh, how I've begged truth to sing
its soothing melody
that I believed would in turn elicit
a beautiful love.
So the canary sang
penetrating every melodious note
and awareness of my fault
flooded my abstract thoughts.
Perhaps my misconception
flourished from a surreal ideal.
An ideal that should soon be abandoned
in the furthermost shadows of my mind.
As you can probably tell, I've ditched the usual rhyme for free verse. I don't know about you, but I feel like I've improved greatly. Well, you haven't seen enough of my old or new writings to be able to judge so just take my word for it. ;]
I hope you've enjoyed my first blog- which happens to be pretty long. I apologize for that.
There's probably nobody that reads this nonsense anyways, what are you worried about Alex?
