I
have been disappointingly lax on the poetry front again, and I think it might
be down to this blogsite. Not blaming you for my laziness, you understand, but
I do find that if I commit to a month of poems here, it fires me up and
inspires me and I start noticing things I can write verses about, and getting
on with them. When I'm just churning out 'normal' posts, that inner part of me
that fuels my rhyming gets lazy. So I might just commit to an extensive output
of new poems and see if that gets me going again.
Or
maybe I'm just a 'bursts' kind of guy naturally. I'm never going to be one to
be able to sit down and produce endless streams of creative brilliance, I'm
just going to have little spells every now and then where I'm able to hit a
daily target. Maybe I need the downtimes in between to recharge my poetic
batteries and allow me some processing time within my central hard drive. Maybe
The Way Of The Rory is that I can't be contained within a certain structure or
schedule, I have to let things flow naturally, and therefore fitting this stuff
in around other stuff in my life can be constrictive. Or maybe the commitment is
exactly what is required to push me into a pattern of production.
I have no idea what I'm typing about now, so that's
another reason to concentrate more on poetry, to stifle this waffle...
