I write poetry if im feeling sad and i cant explain it to anyone i like to release my feelings somehow......

I write it when i feel i want to as well

Alisaura

All of the above.

it just blurps out sometimes, I rarely edit. It's a far mor direct link to my subconcious than I usually have... sometimes I don't like what comes out but it's all me. I think.

I haven't even written much lately... job, stuff... I'm probably overdue for an explosion of bad angsty poems. You have been warned

I also tend to bottle things up... I also haven't shown ANYONE IRL what I write, with a few small exceptions, and those were just funny ones that didn't really mean anything.
Well, recently. It's been a long time since my year 10 writers workshop class. That was cool.

What I hate is sitting there with a page before me, a pen in my hand, and a soul full of STUFF and nothing comes out. That is depressing. And I'm afraid that if I tried to write something now, that's what would happen.

Oh well, I have a bit of a backlog from the last year or so.

(PS - god that sounded pretentious! Sorry!)

I'm not sure what I write could be called poetry at least not in a metre/rhyme sense, like someone else said its more beacuse you have to because its an exorcism for the soul, or screaming onto "paper" or letting out something that needs to go. Sometimes therapy sometimes pleasure sometimes both.

Oh look this is my first official post!

it's been such a long time since I've been around these parts. Funny, so much has changed, and yet, so much hasn't. I don't know if those I knew still spend their days dreaming here. I came across this old post of mine, and I had to laugh, because I can't write anymore. I don't know how. I have the worst case of writer's block. I've been trying to write for the last four years, but it's like there is a brick wall in my head, and all I get are bits and pieces...

try writing about that very thing...write our your frustrations of not being able to write...sounds odd but perhaps it'll open up your mind.

i have done that. when i used to write, it would just flow, but now when i write, all i see are lame cliche's and the same old thoughts over and over. i want to write something new, but i don't know how to do it.

hmm...I understand what you're going through, it happens to me with my art sometimes. I would just refabricate old drawings in some form or another and often be uninspired. What I tried to do to remedy this is to go out of my element and try something different, see something different. It feels kind of wierd and even scary but it tends to open me up to new things that gets me doodling. When I see(do) the same things over and over my creativity does not expand. Keep at it, something new will come to you.

i write poetry/song's to get em out my head. they just stay there repeating over and over in my head unless i write them down and finish them

Alisaura

I think I'm in pretty much the same position as you, popkidu2. Until about a month ago, I hadn't written anything except bad fanfiction for an email RP game for years and years. My life is stagnant, so my creativity just kinda drained away. I've been making an effort to wake it up again, but I'm just so bloody lazy and apathetic.
Bleh.

I miss my imagination.

That's so true! I'll be in one of my classes at school and a random thought or feeling will pop into my head and if I don't write it down, I'll go crazy! And then it's like, I can't leave that little phrase alone, so then I keep adding till I'm done. I never used to be like that, until a guy who had a crush on me in junior high wrote a poem about me and won at the state competition! Hahahaha...

popkidu2

It's strange, when I think about this topic, the line, "You glorify the past when the future dries up" comes to mind. Every lyric I write sounds like cliche'. Yet, here is a different take: I recently put a whole bunch of my pictures in frames, and the photo's that once looked stagnent, suddenly took on a whole new life.

I guess it's about placement and perspective. Maybe I need to find that with my writing.

Alisaura, it's good to see you around. A name I know

Blackberry

Because it's better than to study for an exam

I write because I love to and it is a great release of feelings
