I'm not artistically inclined, but if I was, I don't think I necessarily would be the kind of person to post poetry in a journal. In much the same way that I don't divulge too much of myself here at all. Most kinds of poetry are born from a particular person's perspective and experience. What I write might have deep meaning for me, but would be totally meaningless for someone else.
I never really kept a journal besides this thing, but I do like to go back and read old entries now and again. I have been known to post "privately", which would be exactly like a true journal.

My point succinctly.
I never kept a journal per se but I did the poetry thing as a release. I have never done a private post because I'm an attention whore when it comes to LJ. I do this to get you to read it! Haha. If I were to want to write something private I have an offline journal for that. Which, speaking of, I've been updating this whole time I've been away. I was going to use much of it to bridge the gap during internet breaks but going back it's all old news. But I guess if I posted it would be new to you huh? I just have so much going on now that I don't wanna get into old shit, even if it is just from a couple months ago.
I think the sad thing about poetry today is that most people cannot write it period. Putting people through the bad writing is torturous, but I post mine anyway, because it's pretty fucking good and I know it. I just don't give a shit!
It's an art-form, and one that's dying fo' sure. Most people aren't edumacated enough to write it...
But yeah, I skip it on my friends page too, I'm sure they skip mine, not knowing the fucking difference between someone who can write and someone who can't, sad, frank, but true.
Heh, I'm an attention whore too, I simply don't have an active enough social life just now to keep all my bullshit in.
- And I'm sure glad you're back. I missed you tons.
I guess some of my poems were good. People read 'em and liked 'em lots. But I dunno. I go back and look over them all and think that I would not want to let this crap get out! LOL
- I'm glad you're glad I'm back. I was missable before a year ago. But I'm going to try to get back to her. I'm looking @ this move as a new beginning.
Like Dawn of the Dead I shot the evil bastard before he could turn me. (D.O.D. remake that is.) Actually I just got my shit together, moved, and got the Qwest bundle cause I owed Comcast like $400. bucks. So, here I am! Whee!!
i tried to do the poetry thing when i was younger and it sure helped me then o get through some of the rough times but now when i read it, it all seems sill and pointless...i guess poetry could be seen as nothing more than a release for the time being...that's what i used it as...and i like you're idea of writing everything and knowing yourself inside and out...i wish i could figure myself out some days lol
It can be rough pulling deconstructing yourself to that degree @ times. It was good, I still believe, because it left you with no unresolved issues. You felt black and/or white about everything. I miss that feeling of certainty.
