She Writes Poetry

I have organised all the poems
that will go in my first album,
a collection to be shared with friends and famiy.
Hopefully it will be saved by someone who loves
me even after I am gone and will be
shared with future generations.
I, also, have about 15 poems towards
my second album. On Wednesday I wrote
two new poems. One is called A Broken Girl
and the other is Little Sin. A Broken Girl was inspired
by a song on American Idol. I heard the word banish
during one of the songs on the show
( I think it was when Meatloaf sang).
And that made me think of the line

banished to the
blackest corner of her mind.

The poem grew from there
to describe a girl who is hurt by a man
and then abandoned.

Little Sin was inspired when I was working
on another poem and trying to figure out
the last line for it. I thought of making it

she lies, it's just a little sin.

But then I decided to make the last
line something else. Still the idea stuck
and I immedaitely started a new poem with

It's just a little sin
bury it beneath
blankets and blankets of snow
that blows wild
and piles high
in wintertime
in Chicago.............


That poem has three more stanzas.
Anyway I thought I would share some
of the ways my creative process works.

This blog won't be updated again until
after the Memorial Day holiday. I hope everyone
has a great weekend! And to all you writers out there,
here's hoping you find some time for at least one
productive writing session.

Song Lyrics of the Day
For a moment wasn't I a king?
But if I'd only known
how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say, you know,
I might have chanced it all!
And now
I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
but I'd of hadto miss
the dance .
Yes, my life is
better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
but I'd of had to miss
the dance
