My way of writing is a little different than most people. I like to write poetry. I write poetry 0n my free time and mostly times when I’m down. My poetry changes on how I write it depending on what kind of mood I may be in. I usually write poetry about my life stories. There is a catch though. Poetry is different than writing an essay or term paper. So my creative way of writing is hard to switch back and forth. Poetry is one of the most difficult forms of writing to define.
When I write, I usually listen to music. Music gets my brain working and the words just flow out. I also listen to music when I can’t think. As most people, it’s hard to write with the television on because I just want to watch the television. The best time for me to write is at night. Sometimes when I’m sleeping I think of ideas and I wake up and write them down, that way I never forget them. I like to write with pen and paper verses using the computer. It just seems easier for me.
My mom influenced me into writing because she always told me to be myself and to experience my feelings no matter how I do it. I found it easier to express me feelings by writing. Ever since then when I write my mom likes to read them because it keeps here moving day by day and keeps her spirits up and one day my mom wishes that I get my poems published. My mom encourages me to write my thoughts down even though sometimes it may be difficult for me to do so.
Wow! We have alot in common when i comes down to writing. I write poetry as well, the only difference is that my mother did not encourage me to write. I listen to alot of neosoul music, which is basically new soul music. The lyrics to themusic happen to be based off of poetic themes, which is what inspire me to write. You should definatley post some of your work, that is if its not too personal!
ReplyDeleteI have also written a lot of poetry but it was when i was younger. Reading this makes me want to write poems again. I think poetry deffenitely expresses your thoughta and how what your thinking. Also with the music, i do really enjoy music, but i dont think i cou ld write with it on because i will want to sing or something to the music. I would love to read some of your poetry some time!
ReplyDeleteI think it is cool that you like to write poetry. I think that writing for most people depends on their mood. I can't do any homework or any thing else for that matter when the t.v. is on either.
ReplyDeleteOK. You have to post some of your poetry, Sara!
ReplyDeleteAnd we will explore how/why writing poetry is different than academic writing.
Exciting!
