I’ve been recently reminded of a poem I wrote back in 2018 and under my current circumstances (Indie Author, has a nice ring to it) I thought I’d repost it.
It’s funny looking back at old stuff. When I re-read this and the comments, I couldn’t quite believe it was my work. One of my bad habits is when I write something I move on very quickly to the next piece. What’s done is done, so for my work to be remembered by another in the community is very humbling.
This too is another reason why I wanted to repost this one. Thank you Susi over on I Write Her for the reminder. It’s very much appreciated.
Construct of a Poem
Just sitting, waiting
For mental spaghetti
To spill onto the page
I just let me fingers hover
Then tap the keys
Waiting for some sense
To appear like a cheap magic trick
For the cheer
As the rabbit is pulled from the hat
Letting my unconscious know
It’s ready to applaud
Ready for the big bang
Finish off with a picture that says
A thousand words
Increasing text
While adding context to the story
A flurry of colour
That lights the page
And draws you in
Mesmerising
And there it is
Ready for the reveal
Unveil to those who would read it
Done and done

I’m the same way! I often forgotten what I’ve written, perhaps only remembering a vague concept. Glad I’m not the only one!

Absolutely not the only one but isn’t it lovely to look back and think ‘I wrote that’. A great sense of achievement.
