Question: Writing about something other than myself!?
Ever since I began seriously writing poetry, I've had a problem with only writing about either myself or problems in the black community (technically that would also count as myself)!. And I'm good at what I do!. But so far it's really been stuff along the lines of "I spit crazy lines" and "music is my passion" and "i like peace" and stuff like that!. However I feel like my mind is blocked off from topics around me!. I don't feel socially aware!. Is there any way I can be more creative and treat poetry as more of an art!? Maybe write about something other than my life!? Help please!? Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you like what you do, don't worry about it!. In my humble opinion, I think that you should write about what you know!. It comes from you heart, so more people can connect with you!. If you still want variety, write in a different environment!. You'd be amazed at how much the atmosphere affects the poetry!. Think about other things going on in your life!. Love!? Hurt!? Anger!? Joy!? Try writing about emotions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Emily Dickinson wrote more than a thousand poems which all strongly reflected her own unique viewpoint!. She is now considered one of the greatest poets of the English language!. Poetry is always a reflection of the inner life of the poet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Write about emotions!. Here's a kicker: write from another point of view!. Write about a character!. Write about an inanimate object!. Write about an idea- peace, war, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

DESPAIR

My Love I wake up for your love dear,

I go to sleep,as dreams make me feel near,

And make me gain confidence that you're close,

In an imperfect world, we all unwantedly chose,


Yet when I awake I miss the warmth I craved,

My fantasy and imagination I so honestly braved,

And I fall back again from the stair,

My dear in utterly miserable, oh this, despair!.


My innate desire to spend a whole life,

As your dear lovelingly and only wife!.

Perhaps that was what you did always desire,

And the flame of fire in me, you did fire!.



I cannot imagine a day without your love, I say,

Crossing the path without a miss,a loving kiss,

For your warmth through your lips, so soft and sweet,

I thought these were my gift, a life's eternal treat!.



I miss your warmth and loving embrace,

I do not know when and how, I fell from grace!.

Your lovely look,youe eyes, and beautiful smile

I always possessed and will possess all the while!.


You are as always and shall for ever be,

The love of my years' that went before me!.

A life, a heart throb, a summer's cream,

For all times you are an indellibe dream!.


A welcoming whisper in the sands of hour,

You are as fragrant as many a flower,

Your looking away from me, I could never tolerate,

Remember this my love, whenever we did date!.


I cannot believe my ears,for what you did appear to say,

An intense feeling I want to hold, with a nay,

That you never said, what I thought I heard,

And incredibly deny to ever believe a word!.


What made you think I was just a playful toy,

Just to hold for a while and enjoy,

What made you think of me that so low,

Say it all was just not said ,let my heart glow!.



Just once, just once more, think about that small one,

And think of the part in me that has now begun!.

Think of our tomorrow and the next morrow,

Just for once take me out of this unbearable sorrow!.




Come back to me my life, my breath,my love ,

There is nothing left for me on earth or heaven above,

And come back to my arms once again,

My life, my very being, please do not leave me in vain!.
