I Am Always Write
Well, my friends, here’s the thing: I cannot stop writing, and then, I cannot stop sharing what I write. It could be the most preposterous crap, but I shall write and share still the same. Sitting on my mattress and thinking about the criticisms will never make me a writer. Writing till my wrists bleed will. Therefore, you people will have to help me out with whatever I put up.
I don’t want praises!
I don’t want flattery!
Don’t tell me how good my writings are,
Tell me how bad they are!! Please.
Then, someday, I may actually be good!
What Kind Of A Writer Should I Be?
|
You Should Be A Poet |
 You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways. And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery… Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever. You’re already naturally a poet, even if you’ve never written a poem. |
I have no idea why I am putting up the following analysis here, I just am:
You Are An ENTJ |
 The ExecutiveYou are a natural leader - with confidence and strength that inspires others. Driven to succeed, you are always looking for ways to gain, power, knowledge, and expertise. Sometimes you aren’t the most considerate person, especially to those who are a bit slow. You are not easily intimidated - and you have a commanding, awe-inspiring presence. In love, you hold high standards… for yourself, for your relationship, and for your significant other. At work, you are organized and good at delegating. You understand how to achieve goals. How you see yourself: Rational, calm, and objective When other people don’t get you, they see you as: Inflexible, controlling, and overbearing |

I find it hard to tear apart someone’s poem because first of all unless I can get inside your head I won’t know what point/emotion in particular you are trying to drive home. So instead I tell what I feel and how it interacted with my own senses and this reader’s perspective.
Secondly unless I write it out myself how can I tell you how to write it it - then it would become part of my writing and not wholly yours for it would have my perspective added as well. To me in time one learns how to best express themselves just from some of the comments made. For instance in a previous post a while back you commented (very graciously I might add) how I had not actually caught your intentions. This would say to you then that perhaps something needed to be made clearer. (Or it could mean I was just too dumb to see it LOL).
In any case if a poem causes you to get lost in it for whatever reason or to sit back and think about something in your own life or to pull at one’s heart strings has it not then accomplished what it should? For is not everything relative to the reader himself? Just some loose and rather unorganized thoughts here.
Again, welcome back my friend.
Reply: It is true that a reader seldom knows the emotion or spirit that drives a particular poem. But, for a learner such as myself, it is really helpful when the reader exchanges with the poet the images that are invoked in his/her mind by the poem. It is then that the poet knows exactly where s/he has failed or compromised. Poetry is so very unlike an intellectual discourse. I believe it should not ostracize readers based on intellectual stratification. If the emotions and the images of a poem are honest, they will touch hearts. So, my request to you is that no matter what your reaction is to a poem of mine, just spit it out . . . there is no better way for me to learn!

I understand amateur to mean “lover of”. Thank you for your thoughts. And for the design of your pages, which makes me reflect on what I want to do with mine. Also nice to see Krishnamurti mentioned here.
Reply: I have only just started reading J Krishnamurti’s works. I hope I understand his perspective at least to a certain extent. I have always used amateur in its modern meaning - lacking professional skill - but now you have put a beautiful twist to the word using its etymology. Thank you for visiting my “amateur” poetry!

Today I just traveled to your Flickr account and enjoyed the college/campus feel in it
And amused reading that martial arts is one of your interests…
: I have a Flickr account?? Darn, I totally forgot when I did that . . . now I need to ask for a new password! Martial arts is only an interest now, just like comforting the poor is an interest of the politicians . . . I rarely get the time to indulge in serious practice!
