Poetic Justice


Quote of the day:
Sincerity is the way of Heaven.
-Mencius


Today, I had been going through some of my old stuff again...
A Collection of writings...poetry, short stories, and or vivid thoughts.

You see, poetry for me was....
a sort of escape.
Scratch that. The only escape!

I battled depression with my poetic thoughts.

I would just write my feelings down, pen and paper in hand.
And anytime i wrote...
Time always stood still.

A family member had introduced me to poetry.
It was the year 2000. Or was it 2001?
She herself was used to writing poetry and stories, and encouraged me to start as well...

Since then i've never looked back...

I've come this far...thanks to many scenarios. Thanks to-

The close pals that i have written for in the past (something special for their loved ones).
The friends that wanted something nice (something to impress their girl).
Those that i used to write romantic letters to (back and forth).
Not to forget depression (i fought back with poetic thoughts).

I used to write dozens of poems daily...
I could look at the clouds in the sky and write pages of poetry on just that alone, lol.

I plan to publish some of my works when the right time comes...

By the way, don't you just dislike it when people send to your phone recyled text messages?
Back then, if i wanted to send you a lovely text message on your phone for instance, it would take me less than a minute to compose a message or something. And yes i have a thing against recyled text messages...

My shock knew no bounds when one day i got the same text message that i had previously sent out to someone else many weeks earlier. I had sent a text message to a friend -and believe it or not weeks later that same message was sent back to me by a totally different person.

It wasn't that shocking though- I've always been told by close pals how their friends react whenever they see some of my text messages on their phones....

It often goes 'Oh, this is soooo nice'....
Who sent this to you? .....can i send it to my phone please??

To this end i must say that is uncool. Recycling messages i mean.

Remember one or two of those lovely text messages you've gotten in the past on your cell phone? , So yea there is err a minute possibility that it actually came from me....
I'm just saying. Hehe!

  8. Poetry indeed is theraphy...

    It soothes the soul,
    encourages the heart to hold onto hope
    Introduces an outlook to life that is desirable and bright
    when all the writer can envisage
    are the shape of shadows in the midst of their night

    Poetry rocks... I hope you publish it soon.. trying to sort out a compilation of all mine myself... God help me. Have a great weekend. x

    Ps.. my book count continues.. lol... u can check my book club to see how many I have read so far.. now I have to give some books away in competitions as I am running out of bookshelf space... :-)

  9. Hi ya Remi. Love your take on poetry being therapeutic. You sorting out some compilations yourself i see-hey God help us all..

  10. I am so rooting for you. Speed up the process so I can read your collections, lol.

    You remind me of me. I used to write and write and write and write. I started when I was 13. But i havent written a single poem in about 4 years now, I don't know what's up with me.
    Poetic justice the movie was my favortie one for years..I was so into Tupac and all his poems. I even wrote them on the walls of my room (seriously). Thanks for reminding me of these sweet memories.

  11. Thank you,knew i could count on your support.
    Woa,four years is a long time..but hey i guess it all has to do with one's state of mind as i admit i don't write as much as i used to as well.
    I loved the movie Poetic Justice too, and don't get me started on Tupac...

    It's my pleasure. Glad you have nothing but sweet memories*
