Valdar and Astralis Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Like being the guy downstream of a burst dam that used to be a tiny creek that is an idea. With a bucket. Scoop the waters of the flood, and chuck them in your field of creativity to nourish the crop. Question is, will you be there to catch the flow, or will you let it pass on by. Or if the water sufficiant to grow the crop. --That is all. . .
Appy Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 (edited) ~Very nice imaginary! I can picture it *giggle* .. funniest to me is, I had this idea about poetry just last night.. and wrote it down using the flashlight and booklet I have next to my bed for such occccasions (the flashlight so as not to wake my hubby) ~ On Poetry These are the short Little thinkers Mind twisters head cleaners making room for fantasies bigger Take a concept thought or picture Break it down to the essentials ...word them as your own Fix it together again flourished or minimized and a poem is born Most likely ingredient subject or invoker Emotions Angst Sadness Fear Confusion Happiness is often taken for granted No need to examine it ~ rough form, just an opinion.. *runs back into the flow to catch that one sparkling fish that'll nourish her ideas even more* ~ ~ PS: I just noticed that the line Happiness is often taken for granted sounds strange maybe, just remember that I'm talking about poetry here.. most people enjoy and endulge in happiness instead of writing about it, right? * krggh* end of transmission *kgrhrk* ~ Edited December 2, 2003 by Appy
Alaeha Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Essays... *twitch* *twitch* *twitch* (Insert Convulsions Here) Huh? Wha? *Stutters* Sorry. I've been up all night with my last essay for English 101... Defending V.I. Lenin is harder than I thought it would be; especially since my heart is in it only in that my grades depend on it and it's a fun challenge. Truth of it is that the guy was a genius. An obsessive, arrogant genius... but most of those who shape history are. Anyways... Writing... The trick is to be looking for the areas where the water is going to break loose, so that you'll be there. Sitting around in the middle of nowhere won't make the waters come to you. (That's been my experience, anyway)
Aardvark Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Or will you forsee the dambursting ahead of time and dig channels and trenches to divert the overflow away from your fortress and into your enemy's wheat fields, flooding valuable farmland and infesting it with dam variety crocadiles and pirannahs.
The Big Pointy One Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I'd be the fish that doesn't know how to swim!
Zariah Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 Writing is like a second language, once learned, it flows freely form my fingertips and out to share with the world. A great exploration of the inner thoughts....the spyglass for the writer who is the explorer of unknown lands.... writing to me is the medium for my creativity.....
Lady Celes Crusader Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 I did write something about writing and storytelling in the French forum (there's a translation along). And it really comes like a muse that pops up and that is begging to be told.

That's called politics, 'vark. And you know what we do with politicians!
Aardvark Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 Believe every word of rubbish they spout at election time, the complain about their broken promises, bitch about their tax hikes, whine about them voting to give themselves another payrise, then believing every word of their rubbish next election, vote them in again....
