My poetry journey
I am ecstatic right now and it is eleven in the evening as I write this! I was able to retrieve my old blog site which I thought I would never remember how to have back. Lesson learned? Always have backup storage for all your work.
I love the play of words. They can rhyme, be lyrical, structured, or free flow. There is something interesting in poetry, reading between the lines and pondering its meaning.
I guess I have it in me even when I was young that I wanted to pen words. I want my readers to wonder and wander. Come wander in the thoughts in my head and wonder what is in my imagination.
In my primary years, I was part of the school publication. Websites are not as common back then as a school press. So we layout from scratch! Tons of paper were folded, cut images, typed articles are organized for printing to make a magnificent feat of the school newspaper. My role? I was a Literary editor. Sounds cool right? Nah, maybe just for me. Although not everything is my work, I collect submissions from the entire school. And I have always admired how uniquely one can write.
Years passed, my interests have changed and I have less time for writing. Then I had a college professor who inspired me to continue writing. I found a way for self-expression because sometimes the words running in my head would only settle if I was able to pen them. So when I’m inspired to write randomly I just scribble them on notebooks. Since they are scattered that’s when I decided to have a blog site to have them in one place. I don’t have a lot but I wanted a keepsake for my work.
I just started writing again here on a new platform called Medium and I want to share my old site to give you a glimpse of my penned poetry.
So here it goes….way back 2009. Ha! FYI. Some posts are just lyrics of songs because they became favorites at that time.
