#poetry school

[unreconstructedfangirl]

Well, this week on the poetry class strugglebus, I reread Jane Eyre (which was much more brilliant than I remembered and in an entirely different way than I remembered) and then I wrote a poem I'm not so sure about, but...ok. It's due today, so it's been submitted.

This is how it happens every time: I read the assignment. I think...cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool (obviously in the voice of Det. Jake Peralta).

Then, every single time the two voices inside my head have this argument:

voice 1: How TF are you going to write THAT? voice 2: Oh, come on. You'll manage. It's an impossible hurdle 'til it isn't! Remember, creative work arises out of process! voice 1: STFU plz, because I hate you.

Then, on like, a MONDAY, I decide I need to read Jane Eyre by WEDNESDAY. I fucking do it. I write 10 to 20 pages of notes that are decidedly NOT poems, and then in desperation, at the 11th hour, I ask myself if we are writing this fucking poem, or what?!

Then I write something 10 lines long or so, think I kind of hate it, and turn it in, and hope no one else in the class is thinking "WHO LET THIS DUMBASS INTO POETRY SCHOOL?"

Aye me.

"God has taken away people's timidity. Young boys' love is both passionate and intense. At that moment, the setting sun cast it's light on the winding Tamsui River. The patterned window is rimmed with gold. The feathers on the keychain are outlined in a dazzling glow. Time passes as gently and enduringly as this blessing does."
