Does anyone else here write poetry?
I know very little about the technicalities of it (similar to my approach to photography), but I enjoy it when the words come and I like reading other people's too.
Here is one I wrote at a craft fair that me and J did a little while back. I was completely out of my comfort zone, with no idea what I was doing, becoming quieter by the hour. Then, there was this incredible lady at the next stall just breezing it. It inspired me to write this from the confines of our tent, watching someone who was so close yet seemingly so different to our inner world.
I don't know if this resonates with you, but this is just how I feel as an introvert in an extrovert world.
Poem [The extrovert next door]
As I sit and watch their words,
Knowing how to talk,
Stalling passers-by's walk,
The extrovert next door does this with ease,
The introvert ends up in a freeze,
Muddled mind,
Words are wrong,
Awkward body language,
Picked the wrong song.
The extrovert next door,
Graces this floor,
The quiet ones here,
Sitting so near,
Yet worlds apart,
A different form of art.
Feel free to share anything you've written or poems you've enjoyed here ✍🏻
Good poem, certainly resonates with me.
I'm not a creative type though, so I couldn't come up with anything much like this. It's funny because as a kid, my parents thought I was good at story writing. And I am good at writing prose, mainly because I read so much as a child. But as for story ideas, it doesn't come naturally to me.
