Recently, I've been writing mad poetry. ("Mad", as in "lots," of course.) I always do that when I'm in a bad mood. I just get this urge to write. What usually happens, is I take one thing that I'm feeling and write down a line . . . and in a few minutes it grows into this whole poem that is usually a slightly magnified portrayal of my emotions. It's pretty nifty the way that happens. That's how I end up writing poems about things that have never happened to me. I use real emotions and combine them with semi-fictional experiences that I think will help the reader better understand the poem than if I had just written exactly what I was thinking.
The last poem I wrote was actually not a result of my recent depressed state. I don't know where it came from, but there it was. It's one of the few poems where I've attempted a rhyme scheme. It doesn't use traditional rhyming; there's definately a more subtle rhyme in this one. I think it came out quite nice, really. I'm happy with it. So, if you readers have the time and feel so inclined, go check it out(along with the other two new ones I've recently posted).
