I found a very good place today, after realising that there was no point my being irritated that I hadn't found time for a walk when I could go right then. Actually, I found two very good places, but the second one has more of my love. I thought I couldn't adore the allotments any more...

Anyway, it inspired poetry. And, for the first time, poetry that I didn't just sit down and write all at once. Poetry that requires work. And is very Romantic poetry inspired, since that is what I was doing almost immediately prior to going for a walk. I started dissecting it as I made my way back, which shows I'm still in poetry inspection mode. I currently have stanzas 1, 2, 4, and what's probably going to be 6. For once I don't want to force myself to make up the rest immediately, because that's usually a sure sign I'll make a mess of it.

Anyway, yay walk. And tomorrow I shall actually have to start working on this essay, since it's due in next Tuesday, and I have an hour's tutorial, a high probability of a full working day and the need to go shopping before then.

I tend to rush poems when I write them and the inspiration always seems to run out before the last stanza; still haven't mastered the patience to do them properly.

Where did you go for a walk?

[minervasolo.livejournal.com]

Just round the Stray, up past the Retreat and then through the allotments. I really do like those allotments, probably partially due to Toast's tendency to start singing Blues when we walk through them (it's easy to incline me towards a place like that).

I know what you mean baout poetry. Usuaully I end up with one stanza I'm really proud of, a few passable ones and then some tailing off blah at the end because it was never really destined to be more than the first two lines anyway.

You. Can. Write. Poetry.

I can't, am in awe of your multitalentedness

I can put words in order, occasionally make them rhyme and, if I'm lucky, keep a consistant rhythm, so yes, I'm technically capable of writing poetry, but damned if any of it is ever any good.

Doing so much better than me, Min.

I went through a depressing poetry phase aged 13, it lasted ten minutes.

I never really managed depressing poetry, and I certainly never got a handle on writing poetry based on my life. I have one personal poem, the rest are things I thought sounded nice at the time.

It wasn't depressing about me. Though I do depressed (without poetry) exceedingly well at times. It was about one of those idiots who tries to sell flowers on the roads in the dark to people in cars. He/she got runover flat.

I started off thinking 'aww' and ended up giggling. It sounds great, either way.

It was diabolical, and instantly got dumped, as it taught me one important thing, I can't write poetry.

I was on the way home from a school theatre trip at the time and those idiots where all over the A-whatever.
