Happy Post!

I'm feeling so much better today. It really helped to just get the rage off my chest and getting support back. Now I'm much more able to think clearly. I don't think I have to make any changes at all. I have faith in my participants!

SO HAPPY THINGS:

- I made poetry today in class. We had to pick a picture in our text-book that caught our eye, and then write a poem with only three lines. I chose this one:


"Farewell"- by Edward Cucuel

And it inspired these two poems:

The smoke from the cigarette is the only thing that moves
His eyes are sad, and her face is wet
The ring stays on the table when she leaves.

She's putting on her gloves, and he's stubbing out his cigarette
The champagne is only half drunk, but the conversation is over
The ring stays in his pocket.

I love this format. Only three lines to tell a story! Can you write a poem using this format, using the painting as your inspiration? I'd love to see more. It's such a gorgeous painting.

And then, proof that Inception has taken over my brain:

So I've been thinking, if I needed a totem, what would it be? I thought about all the pretty knick-knacks I own, and the answer was obvious all along.

You see, a couple of years ago, when I was still sick, I bought this angel stone - an angel figurine inside a oval plastic stone.- and the box said it would protect me. Now I'm not much of a believer in magical things, but every time I hold that stone I feel safe and grounded. So obviously that would be my totem.

Last night, I went to bed thinking that I should take it out, since I'd stored it in a box. I wake up, had forgotten all about it, went to school, and when I came home... I found it sitting on my bedside table. I did not put it there!

I was going to do some meta thoughts too, but I'm saving that for the weekend. I'm watching the film again tomorrow, and I can't wait!

<--- See new awesome icon! It makes me happy!

Thank you! (Your opinion when it comes to poetry always matter to me:D I trust your judgement:P) &hearts

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

:DDD awww, thanks!
they are miniature stories! saying a lot in a little. it is like what 3-sentence ficathon was meant to be (I was kinda sad when the sentences started getting suuuuper long XD )

Lovely painting, lovely poems. (:

It makes me sad that I can't think of a totem for myself.

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

Just find something awesome and name it as your totem!

Ooohh that is a gorgeous painting and I love your poems. Now I wanna do the same thing. =D

Also, that's so cool with the totem... the totem you picked and how it appeared like that. =D My totem would be a thimble or one of my Narnia coins. <3 Or a tattoo!

Thank you!

A thimble would be really awesome!

I love the poems! Now I really want to try that myself. Don't haikus work the same way (three lines, though probably more complex)?

And I'm going to watch Inception again, too. :D On Thursday night. *is so excited*

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, but haikus have more serious rules:P

See my new post on Inception and see how excited I am for this movie!! It's almost ridiculous!

I never thought about totems, but I do believe in lucky charms and stuff like that. Now I'm just gonna go around wondering what my totem is, though. LOL

The painting's lovely and your poems are very very gorgeous as well. I think I like the second one the best, though... I have no poem-writing skillz so I'll leave it at that. ;)

Thank you. I think I like the second one best too. It rolls off the tongue better...
