Math, with its signs, numbers, formulas, and impossible symbols?
Yet it has a right or wrong answer.
Or maybe it is
History, with it dates, places, people, and ripples to the present day?
Yet it has facts that one can learn.
Both of these have absolutes.
Or is it what I do as a writer
To sit, worry and bleed words through my fingers
In the hope that someone will understand
What I’m trying to say….
… Even if I’m not sure myself.
It has no absolutes, only more possibilities.

vrosej10about 13 years agoTwelveoone summed up my feelings well. You can write well but the cliches are getting you. Everytime you write something, think, 'Have I heard this before somewhere?', if you have, don't include it. I know this is tough ask but its one we must all bear. I posted this some else, but it applies here: Cliches are linguistic zombies that will eat the brains out of your poetry. Keep trying. Check out some of my early stuff. I sucked but I worked hard to better myself and now I don't stink entirely.
twelveooneabout 13 years agogot that one!
Mike, I think I mentioned this once before, you have good sensibilities, but express them in cliches. This one is getting more away from the cliche. Not totally new, but not tired either.
