I think I'm on a creative spurt...
Well, I got a letter in the mail today telling me that I was invited to the spring convention for the International Society of Poets. Whether this group is as prestigous as they make themselves sound, and in turn, whether its worth going, I still don't know, but I'm trying to find out. Since its a pricey trip though, I may not go even if its worth my time. They say they have a competition there, and that I can do a new poem for it. And well, I thought back to a feeling that I've been getting lately, and have used it for inspiration. If i do go to this convention, this is probably the poem I'll compete with, I just cooked it up. Put this with my last entry, and I may very well be on a creative spurt!
Just a Feeling
Its just a feeling, that you’re meant to do something.
A feeling that tells you even if it’s not meant to be,
You’re meant to try for such.
It’s a feeling that elevates you,
But keeps your feet firm in the ground.
Its just a feeling, that you’re in the right place,
A feeling that lets you know exactly who you are
And the person that you can be.
It’s a feeling that says what you can do,
And tells if you’re meeting that potential.
Its just a feeling, that destiny’s hand is behind you,
A feeling that the hand is pushing you,
In not just one direction, but many more.
It’s a feeling that forsees what could be ahead,
And reminds you that you’re on the right track.
Its just a feeling, that everything’s gonna be allright,
A feeling that you’re gonna be okay
No matter what tragedies or misfortunes await.
It’s a feeling that prepares you for the worst,
But keeps you hoping for the best.
When I get this feeling, it erupts mysteriously.
From where it comes to me, I do not know.
What I do know, is that it puts me at ease,
That it erases all of the doubt from within my mind
And makes me confident in the choices I make.
It makes me feel that I am in fate’s greater graces,
And that no matter what outcomes of my decisions,
I’ll have no regrets when I lie in my bed at night.
It lets me sleep comfortably at night,
And it lets me dream of what tomorrow may bring.
Whether it be happiness or misfortune,
The lottery or poverty,
Neverending love or eternal solitude
I’ll sleep just the same, cause after all,
Its just a feeling.
That's the poem, critique and feedback would be much obliged. Ciao people!
