Poetry!

[caramelsilver]

I'm feeling like 2011 will be a year where I don't write as much. I have absolutely no ideas and can't seem to form any readable sentences. So, I'm just going to stop trying. Say, yeah, so what? You don't write, not the end of the world. But I do want to write poetry. I really do.

Poetry prompts, please! Prompt me something. A quote, a picture, a song, a word, anything! And I'll see if I can't write some poems.

y'know, i feel completely the opposite of 2011. i feel like this year waaay more happiness is going to come to me than i am ready for.

i was just thinking about souls. and maybe writing about it.

but:

the idea of 'soul mates' or 'twin souls' started with Plato. He believed that humans originally had four legs, four arms, and two heads. Zeus was so threatened by their power that he split them all in half, leaving them to a life of searching the earth for their other half, in order to complete the whole.

That reminds me of this song, maybe you've heard it: The Origin of Love - Hedwig and the angry inch

I'm so glad you feel like 2011 will be an awesome year. I really hope it will be :D

What is it called when insects are stuck forever in a kind of amber?

Within my heart
is another heart, within that heart,
a man at war writes home
