Orient Lodge An Eclectic Blog at the Intersection of Technology and our Social Lives http://www.orient-lodge.com/node/2677/atom/feed 2007-12-20T08:23:26-05:00 Poetry http://www.orient-lodge.com/node/2677 2007-12-20T08:22:14-05:00 2007-12-20T08:23:26-05:00 Aldon Hynes A fragment of one of last night’s dreams remains with me this morning. I was in school. I had been distracted and was trying to find my place. We were studying poetry and I commented to the instructor about having not been writing much poetry recently. She asked me why I hadn’t been, and I said I didn’t know. I’ve just been distracted.

Well, maybe there is a message in that dream fragment. Maybe some of the reason I haven’t written much poetry recently is that I read or listen to some great poetry and get discouraged. Then, I read some blogs where people are putting up poetry that just doesn’t resonate with me, and I think, I don’t want to be putting up poetry that doesn’t resonate with anyone.

Yet, like with NaNoWriMo, there is something important about just doing it, so today, I’m going to start putting up some of my poetic scribblings.
